Orderly Case Study

  • How can Orderly turn “what am I in the mood for?” into an ordering experience where mood drives choices in real time?

  • Food delivery services are trying to solve the wrong problem.

    79% of Americans have a difficult time deciding what to order. Thats because when we are hungry, our brain literally shuts down and we become “too hungry to think.”

    That’s the irony of food delivery: when we are asked to make smart choices when we are literally least capable of making them.

    So we cannot afford to keep asking “what am I in the mood for?” in real time.  But rather,  “what am I in the mood for?” before losing our clarity.

  • Deciding what to eat is as mental as it is physical.

    The human brain uses two systems to make decisions. 

    System #1 is a gut reaction type of decision-making.

    System #2 is more complex thinking.

    Deciding what to eat starts in System 1, but turns into System 2 when the hunger indecision hits.

  • Orderly guides your mind to make menu choices.

    By engaging both decision-making systems before hunger hits, Orderly gets ahead of the moment. Guiding users straight to what they’re in the mood for, faster and smarter.

Background

Ordering Indecision

Orderly is a soon-to-be-released food delivery app designed to rethink the hungry user experience. Making it easier to order smarter and get your food sooner.

Ask

How can Orderly turn “what am I in the mood for?” into an ordering experience where mood drives choices in real time?

Problem

Food delivery is asking the wrong question.

79% of Americans have a difficult time deciding what to order off a food menu.

The food delivery industry has tried solving the age-old question, “What am I in the mood to eat?” in real time. But easier said than done, especially when it’s mealtime.

The irony of food delivery:

We are expected to make smart food decisions when we are the least capable of making them:

hungry.

Insight

Waiting Frustration

Deciding what to eat is as mental as it is physical.

The human brain uses two systems to make decisions. 

System #1:

Eating when you’re hungry. (duh)

You can think of this type of system as a gut reaction type of decision-making. It’s fast, automatic, and doesn’t take any emotional effort.

System #2:

Analyzing 40 Google reviews before ordering.

Unlike the first, this requires a level of self-awareness and complex thinking.


Deciding what should be System 1, but falls into System 2 when hunger indecision hits.

So what if?

Your system 1 subconscious picked the meal before your system 2 conscious shuts down?

Strategy

Orderly guides your mind to make menu choices.

Mind Eats First

By engaging both decision-making systems before you’re hungry, Orderly gets ahead of the moment. Guiding users to decide what they’re in the mood for, faster and smarter.

Delivery Disappointment

Creative Concept

A series of periodic check-ins to build your menu before the mealtime meltdown.
