WHO’RE THE USERS
The Personas
Role: Registered Nurse in an Internal Medicine Ward (or an enterprise company employee).
Profile & Lifestyle: Tomer works intense, high-stress shifts. When he finally gets a lunch break, his time is limited. He wants everything to move as quickly as possible so he can actually sit down, eat, and rest a bit before heading back to his shift.
Digital Behavior: Very high. He lives on his phone (payment apps, WhatsApp, social media).
Core Goal in the App: To get a valid code/barcode on his phone within two clicks, scan it at the dining hall kiosk, grab his meal, and move on.
Lost Badges: He constantly forgets his magnetic employee badge in the pockets of other scrubs or at the nursing station.
Time Pressure: Long lines at the dining hall caused by people struggling to find cards or manually typing in their ID numbers.
Fear of Technical Friction: If the app takes too long to load due to poor reception or a heavy interface, he will hold up the line and feel stressed.
A clean home screen with a large, prominent barcode generated immediately upon opening the app (no deep navigation required).
Clear visual indicators (green color / a checkmark) showing that the code is valid for today and for the current meal.
Role: Operations & Welfare Manager (or Dining Hall Operations Manager).
Profile & Lifestyle: Ronit is responsible for managing the organization’s food budgets and working directly with the catering company. She is a meticulous spreadsheet-lover who needs to generate ongoing reports for management and the payroll department.
Digital Behavior: Medium-High. She works primarily from a desktop computer and is used to internal organizational management software (ERP, attendance systems).
Core Goal in the System: To monitor the number of distributed meals in real time, detect anomalies, prevent double-dipping (e.g., an employee who scanned their code, ate, and tried to scan again or pass it to a friend), and export clean data.
Lack of Control & Budget Waste: Discovering only at the end of the month that employees received double portions or that external people ate at the company’s expense.
Information Overload: Systems that display endless lists of employees without the ability to easily filter or receive anomaly alerts.
Manual Labor: Having to manually cross-reference data between the catering vendor and the organization’s employee lists.
An admin Dashboard displaying visual graphs of meals served today versus the daily forecast.
Prominent Alerts: Red color indicators or system pop-ups the moment a “duplicate meal attempt” is detected within the same day/shift.
A powerful search and filter engine by department, date, or employee name, with a quick “Export to Excel” button.
