Task U - Schedule Managing App
Businesses lose out on revenue from food that must be disposed of because it has spoiled or will spoil soon. Individual consumers may be interested in discounted food for both environmental and economic reasons. Tasty Saves helps grocery stores reduce food waste by offering discounted products nearing expiration, benefiting both businesses and environmentally-conscious consumers. It's a win-win solution for combating food waste and promoting sustainability.

Rutgers Students
USER RESEARCH
To understand and learn more about users' difficulties and needs, our team conducted interviews. Because the main target user of this project is Rutgers students, the interviews were held on Rutgers's College avenue campus, including the student center and outdoor community space.
During the interview, we asked students three main questions, which are:
What causes you stress with school and life?
What do you do to maintain your mental and physical well-being?
How has the pandemic changed your mental and physical well-being? (Is it Better? Or is it worse)
Besides these questions, we also asked the following questions such as "what makes you happy?" or "How do you keep connected to Rutgers?".
PROBLEM
We had a chance to speak with 16 students in total, and the outcome was very similar yet distinct.
Through the research, we realize that most of the students are very stressed and having difficulties managing their time with so many assignments and tests. The good point was that students know how to release those stresses in their own way, such as by working out, eating healthy, or meeting friends.
However, although they all knew how to combat their stressors, they weren't sure how to stay on track and hold themselves accountable for their academic and personal goals.
USER PERSONAS
WIREFRAME
For the wireframe, we considered that there are two different user groups, which are partners and shoppers. The wireframe has two different versions so that the two different user groups can conveniently use our service.
VISUAL / INTERACTION DESIGN
Once the final low-fidelity wireframe was completed, we started to visualize those ideas in the design. We aimed to create bright and fresh-themed visuals so that we could demonstrate the food's freshness to all the users
