Card Sorting

Card sorting was the primary technique used to collect information about how our target group perceived the application architecture and giving use valuable data for improving it further.
This exercise was conducted for determining the finalized the architecture of the application that was initially designed. The results of this exercise served as input for rethinking the proposed hierarchical information architecture and make changes where necessary after discussion.

Final Ordered Cards



Card Sorting Results

In the card sorting we found out from users that one main menu wasn't clear as it barley represented the sub menu. So we decided to make that main menu to be sub menu and replaced it with a main menu that can represent all the sub menus. That is the only change we came to because users have easily sorted the cards.

Groups names: Drinks, Food, Specials, Add /Edit and an extra group created by the users Alcohol

To the highest extent the potential users arranged the information architecture as we designed. There was a slight difference. For example one users selected alcohol as a different rather than a sub menu to drinks. Another user have a bit difference in the add menu buying choosing pay as the main menu rather than a sub menu to the Add/Edit menu.
