This is the kind of prompt that sounds straightforward until you realize you have no idea where to start.
Start by clarifying the scope and goals of the table management system, then outline a structured design covering user needs, key features, data model, and success metrics. Emphasize how your solution aligns with Bentobox's business model and customer pain points.
Pro tip: Anchor your design in a specific user persona and their workflow to demonstrate deep customer empathy, and quantify the impact of your proposed features to show business acumen.
Ask questions to understand the context: Who are the users (restaurant staff, customers)? What problems are we solving (reservations, seating, waitlist)? What are the constraints (budget, timeline, integrations)?
Identify primary users (e.g., hosts, servers, managers) and their pain points. Map out their journey to uncover key needs such as real-time availability, waitlist management, and table optimization.
Propose must-have features: table layout configuration, reservation booking, waitlist tracking, real-time status updates, and analytics. Prioritize using a framework like MoSCoW.
Sketch the data entities (tables, reservations, users) and relationships. Describe the system components (frontend, backend, database) and how they interact, considering scalability and integrations.
Specify KPIs (e.g., table turnover rate, wait time reduction, user adoption). Outline a phased rollout with MVP, testing, and iteration based on feedback.
