Problem

Treating someone at a cafe usually means messy group payments and unclear invites. Users needed discovery, ordering, and a shareable “invite is ready” moment in one flow.

Research

  • Mapped invite-led dining moments: pick place → order → pay → share code/link.
  • Reviewed Gulf cafe apps for list density vs. social proof.
  • Prioritized invite validity and copy-link as post-payment trust cues.

Process

  • Designed Discover with searchable cafe list and strong brand header.
  • Built cart with quantity controls, promo, and pink accent totals in SAR.
  • Crafted invite-ready screen with paid summary, copyable link, and share CTA.
  • Kept bottom nav consistent with a gradient home FAB for orientation.

Solution

  • Clean discover list for fast venue picking.
  • Cart that makes promo + total unmistakable before checkout.
  • Invite handoff with code, validity, and one-tap share.

Learnings

  • Invite products need the share moment as a first-class screen, not a toast.
  • Accent color on paid totals reduces “did it go through?” anxiety.
