Problem

Problem

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Southeast Asian consumers prioritized safety, convenience, and reliability when ordering food online. In response to plummeting travel demand, AirAsia pivoted into food delivery, leveraging its logistics network — but struggled to gain traction in a market dominated by GrabFood and Foodpanda.

Goal

Goal

The goal was to improve the end-to-end customer experience on AirAsia’s food delivery platform by making food discovery faster and more intuitive. This meant rethinking search, simplifying navigation, and reducing friction across key user flows to drive engagement and repeat use.

Primary Challenge

Primary Challenge

AirAsia Food fell short in helping users navigate and select their meals with ease. To address this, I conducted a competitive analysis of leading platforms to identify experience gaps and uncover opportunities to improve discoverability, flow, and user satisfaction.

Stakeholder Requirements & User Interviews

Stakeholder Requirements & User Interviews

During research, I partnered with the marketing team to connect with key stakeholders and users. These conversations clarified the internal vision for the platform and, more importantly, revealed why some users abandoned the app — highlighting gaps between intent and experience.

CONCEPT EXPLORATIONS

CONCEPT EXPLORATIONS

Based on my research, I designed wireframes focused on simplifying navigation and reducing friction. By mirroring familiar patterns from platforms like GrabFood and Foodpanda, I aimed to create a more intuitive experience. I tested these flows with an internal focus group to validate usability and refine the approach.

USER TESTING

USER TESTING

After identifying the strongest design directions, I created high-fidelity wireframes and tested them with a small external focus group familiar with the app. Their feedback offered valuable insights into usability, visual appeal, and overall experience — revealing what resonated and where further refinement was needed.

USER TESTING: VARIATION C1

USER TESTING: VARIATION C1

During testing, participants responded positively to version C1, noting clearer merchant ratings and delivery times that improved navigation. First-time users found the overall scroll experience smoother. However, some flagged the promotion carousel as distracting, citing visual overload and too much competing for attention.

USER TESTING: VARIATION C2

USER TESTING: VARIATION C2

Participants found the carousel in version C2 less intrusive than in C1, appreciating the focus on a single promotion rather than multiple competing offers — a welcome change given AirAsia’s frequent promo activity. The merchant cards remained consistent with C1, continuing to deliver clear, expected information.

OUTCOME: IMPROVED STORE DISCOVERY & CHECKOUT

OUTCOME: IMPROVED STORE DISCOVERY & CHECKOUT

56% of merchants reported challenges with store visibility on AirAsia Food, despite competitive commission rates. Meanwhile, 61% of users struggled to find appealing options — driving high drop-off. To solve this, we redesigned the homepage to surface stores by key selling points like popularity and dietary preferences (e.g., halal), improving discovery for both merchants and customers.
