What this question tests

Product design for a B2B hardware and software product serving both restaurant operators and diners.

How to approach it

  1. Define both users: diners wanting a quick, easy way to order and pay, and restaurant owners wanting higher table turnover and lower labor cost.
  2. List pain points: slow wait times for a server to take orders or bring the check, and restaurants needing more staff during peak hours.
  3. Prioritize core features: menu browsing, ordering, and pay-at-table, since these directly reduce wait and turnover time.
  4. Design for restaurant operators: an easy way to update menus and prices without needing engineering support.
  5. Address monetization: charge restaurants a subscription or per-transaction fee, since diners shouldn't be charged directly.
  6. Define success as table turnover time reduction and restaurant retention after a trial period.
