The app allows users to spin a wheel to randomize their choice for lunches in the City. Considering that the users can have a limited amount of time for their lunch break, the app needs to be a clean design that is quick and easy to use on the go. Proposed Solution: With knowledge that the client wants a spin wheel within the application design, the content is then considered in relation to the Target Audience. The proposed solution is to create an app that is able to randomise the cuisine choice and provide a list of places in relation to that selection. The criteria can be altered according to preference of distance, price or rating. Once the place is selected, the user can choose to call, get directions or see more about that place on google/Zomato.
