With all the allergens and dietary restrictions users have, I thought a local bakery app would benefit from having a way for users to filter their baked good options based off of their dietary needs; allergens, diabetic options, etc.
I conducted interviews and created empathy maps to understand the users I’m
designing for and their needs. A primary user group identified through research
was adults/teens who had specific food allergens but wanted to be able to order items on the bakery app. They wanted to make sure they could order allergen free items.

My assumption that the allergen chart would be beneficial to the user group was correct. This user group was able to successfully use the allergen chart on the app to eliminate baked items containing their specific allergen to order the item they like. I found with research that users would be more inclined to order baked goods if they didn’t have to worry about the dietary restrictions and nutrition and ingredients were more visible.
