Yunder is an app that enables travelers to save time during the airport entry process. The app aims to allow the travelers to browse a variety of convenient food options and place orders in advance.
Travelers want to eat quality food at the airport before their flight and sometimes they can't because of unexpectedly long wait times at the TSA screening process in an airport.
Build an experience with software that makes it simple for travelers to find food options in an airport for those who are running late or are undecided about where to travel to.
The app optimizes your time at the airport and makes your travel experience more enjoyable

People will generally feel satisfied with the safety and security TSA provides. However, waiting in line at airport security will be one of the biggest pain point travelers have.
Unlike the user survey and group synthesis, the individual results show an increase in the amount of unsatisfactory with TSA. Most of the complaints revolve around luggage and random pat downs.
Travelers avoid purchasing airport food because of how expensive it is. If people were more informed on their options it would encourage them to buy more food at the airport.
Some people have pleasant experiences with airport cuisine. Food will always be more expensive, but the quality varies on a case by case basis because every airport is different.
After numerous trips to the airport, travelers have developed certain expectations. Long wait times can be considered a given until advancements beyond existing technology have been made.
Design an app the takes advantage of the long wait times by making it simple for travelers to find food options in an airport and place orders in advance.
Based on the feedback from 10 people I made 2 rounds of changes that drastically altered the flow of the app.
