Hire UI/UX Designer for Restaurants
Senior, direct, no layers
A UI/UX designer for restaurants designs the booking, ordering, and check-in experience guests actually use: fewer steps, clearer prices, and no dead ends on a phone.
A senior ui/ux designer for restaurants
A restaurant lives or dies on its margins and its floor. Food cost moves weekly, a no-show table on a Friday night is revenue that never comes back, and delivery apps take a commission on every order while owning the customer relationship. At the same time, guests expect to book in seconds, get answers instantly, and see a menu that is accurate across Google, the website, and the delivery apps.
Most of the fixable loss in a restaurant is operational, not culinary: phones ringing during service, reservation notes that never reach the floor, a website that cannot take a booking, reviews answered late or not at all, and a point-of-sale system that holds useful data nobody ever looks at. The work below is about closing those gaps with systems the team will actually use during a busy service.

What this engagement covers for restaurants
- Booking, ordering, and enquiry flows redesigned around the guest's decision, with steps removed rather than decorated.
- Menu and room presentation that helps guests choose: clear prices, honest photos, and key details up front.
- Mobile-first layouts tested on real phones, including one-handed use and weak connections.
- Accessibility basics: readable text, clear contrast, and forms that work with screen readers and keyboards.
- Checkout and confirmation screens that leave no doubt: what was booked, what it costs, and what happens next.
- Design files and guidance the developer can build from, without endless revision rounds.
Built for how restaurants actually operate
Operations. On the floor, the systems that matter are the point of sale, reservations, the kitchen display, staff scheduling, and inventory. A new tool that ignores any of those, or asks staff to double-enter data during service, will be abandoned within a week. Every engagement below is scoped around the tools already in place and the moments in service where work actually happens.
Tools and systems. Restaurants commonly run Toast or Square for Restaurants at the till, SevenRooms, Resy, or OpenTable for reservations, 7shifts or Deputy for scheduling, and MarketMan or xtraCHEF for inventory and food cost. Delivery runs through DoorDash and Uber Eats, and the website and Google Business Profile are often the first place a new diner checks a menu or opening hours. The job is to connect these pieces so a booking, an order, and a review all land in one place instead of five separate inboxes.
Outcomes. Expect more guests finishing what they started: fewer abandoned bookings and orders, fewer confused calls, and a site or app that feels as good as the venue itself.
From kickoff to delivery for restaurants
-
Watch real guests use the current flow
Where guests hesitate, abandon, or call instead is recorded, and those points become the brief.
-
Sketch the shortest working flow
Steps are cut first, then the remaining steps are designed. Decoration comes last, if at all.
-
Test with real users
A handful of real guests try the new flow on their own phones, and their failures are fixed before launch.
-
Hand over with measurements
Completion rates before and after are compared, so the redesign is judged on bookings, not opinions.
Why hire Omer
- Senior-only delivery: one person owns the work, its decisions, and its handover, for restaurants specifically.
- Built around your existing systems, not a rip-and-replace: the tools your team already trusts stay in place.
- Measured on bookings, orders, and hours saved, not on activity reports or vanity metrics.
- Plain-language reporting: what was done, what it returned, and what comes next, in terms an owner can act on.
- No lock-in theatre: your data, your accounts, and your documentation, handed over properly.
