Overview

In an increasingly diverse and health-conscious world, food allergies and dietary preferences have become an important consideration for both consumers and food businesses alike. This case study explores the UX design of a Bakery and Dessert app that not only caters to users with food allergies but also introduces innovative features to help independent bakers and bakeries optimize their offerings. The app is designed to provide a seamless, personalized experience for users by offering customization options to remove allergens or unwanted ingredients from their orders, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
