Figma Product Designer for AI-Powered Restaurant Menu

Upwork

We are looking for Figma designer to create 2 workflows. Please read the below high level specs to understand what we are building.

We are building a next-generation restaurant menu experience that helps customers decide what to order faster and more confidently by using visuals, motion, and simplicity—not text-heavy PDFs or cluttered POS menus.

This is a mobile-first, QR-based menu designed for real people in real restaurants: adults, kids, and seniors. The experience should feel intuitive, visual, and playful, closer to flipping through Instagram than navigating a traditional app.

We are looking for a strong product designer to design the full UX/UI in Figma, including two core user flows:

1. Restaurant Owner / Admin setup flow

2. Customer browsing & ordering flow

This is a greenfield product with a clear PRD and vision, but we want your design thinking and interaction instincts.

Product Vision (Important — Please Read)

Today’s digital menus are

  • Static
  • Text-heavy
  • Hard to scan
  • Poor at helping people decide what to order

Our product is different

  • Visual-first menu powered by food images and short videos
  • Designed to reduce decision fatigue
  • Built to increase order confidence and upsells
  • Works without POS integration (QR-based flow)

Key design principle

If a first-time user opens the menu, they should instantly understand how to use it without instructions.
