CityMunch is a food discovery app offering real time discounts on restaurants’ menus. Very short term deals - sometimes lasting for as little as 15 minutes - are used to attract customers into London lunch spots at times when they’re most needed, including off-peak hours and days.

Challenge
Originally designed in 2015, CityMunch was in need of a fresh approach to its UX. The app had grown in complexity in the preceding years, with different types of deals being available to different people, meaning that the key challenge for us was to distill a complex information set into an immediately understandable design. This was all the more important due to the time-poor City user base.
Approach
We aimed to create a design which, although rich in information, could be absorbed effortlessly. For example, as regards restaurant location, user testing showed that the only immediately relevant piece of information was how long it would take to walk there. We created an eye-catching “person walking” icon, with a “mins walk” number to communicate this. By applying similar techniques throughout the app, we condensed the app’s dynamics to an intuitive, visually appealing interface. A bright, simple colour scheme based on the brand’s green palette helped the app to come across as a helpful, friendly guide to the local lunch deals in your pocket.
Results
Early testing with CityMunch users showed a vast improvement in reception of the app, with first-time consumers able to navigate the app and interpret its purpose with ease.

“While women are (relatively) well represented among product managers and designers, female software development teams are much harder to come by. I interviewed many agencies before I came across Old.St Labs — not only did their team of female engineers perfectly reflect our user base, they also happened to be the best developers I could find!”

Friendly and engaging design for digitally inexperienced carers
Carers in the UK are paid low wages and offered very little support for career development. The aim of this platform is to reduce the number of people that quit being carers and improve the care that they give. Carers generally don’t use a lot of technology in their work, so the platform needed to be engaging and very user friendly.
Clear journey for carers to discover their learning plans
The platform utilises deep industry knowledge to guide carers through an initial professional development questionnaire. This highlights skill areas that the carers want to improve, and provides managers with clear indicators for skill shortages in their care facilities. The carers are then provided with a simple plan to achieve their development goals over a defined time horizon.

Knowledge of the knowledge gaps for organisations
The organisations are able to visualise collated data across facilities and regions, allowing for early identification of skill gaps and problem areas. Using data to drive decisions on training and resource allocation will in turn drive carer retention and reduce hiring costs.
"The Old.St team really helped us develop our idea from our early thinking to a fully fledged product. The prototytpe they built is an incredibly helpful tool to discuss with potential customers. They then built a fantastic MVP which we are using to great success with our initial customers."
