The Goals
Reduce Restaurant Food Waste
Food waste can be reduced as the food can be redirected to other organizations for free, or at a significantly pre-agreed reduced rate
Eliminate local food insecurity
By redistributing edible food, whose who need it will have better access to food
Reducing carbon footprint
Global food waste accounts for 8% of global emissions. Restaurants monitor which foods they often have an excess of, and reduce orders, thereby reducing the impact on the environment.
The Solution
To create an app that will allow restaurants to control and monitor their level of food waste while also donating to local organizations that are in need of food donations and reducing their carbon footprint.
Using Greater Green users will be able to monitor food waste analytics, schedule pick-ups, and drop-offs, and connect with drivers in real-time while en route to pick up food donations.
The Design
Lo-Fi Sketches
In order to quickly establish a user flow, I created lo-fi sketches to walk my team through the user's journey through the application.

Hi-Fi Screens
The paper sketches were used to create high-fidelity screens that would be used in the prototype.

Color
The color palette was selected to reflect colors found in nature. The orange is reflective of the energy of the sun, while the green, blue, and custard tan color represent the trees, water, and land.

The Prototype
User Friendly Interface
The minimalistic design makes Greater Good user-friendly and easy for users to conveniently schedule pickups for donations.
Real-Time GPS
Real-time GPS keeps drivers and restaurant owners on track for scheduled pick-up days.
User Analytics for Business Management
Live analytics allows business users to see if their current ordering habits are aligned with the amount of food being utilized. This will help restaurants to limit over-ordering, reduce cost, and lower their carbon footprint.
