Aahar
Aahar is a meal booking application built to replace a manual order management system that relied entirely on phone calls and WhatsApp messages. The client was spending hours every day manually tracking orders, responding to messages, and coordinating delivery. My role was to redesign the mobile app experience — simplifying how users discover meals, place orders in a few steps, and earn rewards through a built-in referral and wallet system.
My Role
The Challenge
Before the app, every order was placed via phone call or WhatsApp message. The team manually tracked each order, checked messages constantly, and had no structured way to manage volume. As demand grew, this became unsustainable. The core challenge was designing a mobile experience simple enough for everyday users to order meals in a few taps — while giving the business the tools to handle scale.
Design Scope
I redesigned the complete mobile app experience covering: meal discovery and browsing, a simplified multi-step order flow, wallet and referral system where users earn ₹50 per referral, order tracking, and user profile management. Special focus was placed on keeping the ordering flow minimal — reducing friction so users could place an order in under 60 seconds.
Key Features Designed
Four core feature areas shaped the app, each designed to make ordering effortless for users and operations manageable for the business.
Quick Order Flow
Simplified meal ordering in minimal steps — reducing time from discovery to checkout.
Wallet & Referral System
Users earn ₹50 per referral credited to their in-app wallet — driving organic user growth.
Order Management
Real-time order tracking replacing manual WhatsApp coordination for both users and the business.
Meal Discovery
Clean browsing experience with categories, daily menus, and quick reorder for returning users.
Design Showcase
The final product covered meal discovery, the multi-step order flow, wallet and referral screens, order tracking, and profile management — built on a reusable design system for consistency across the app.
Outcomes & Impact
The redesigned app replaced an unscalable manual workflow with a structured, self-serve experience — handling order volume the team could no longer manage by hand while fuelling organic growth through referrals.
