Giving Businesses a better hospitality Experience.

Kehinde Oyekanmi

Overview

Gumble’s guest-facing experience reimagines how diners interact with restaurants by putting real-time digital menus and seamless ordering in the hands of every guest. Built for the hospitality industry, it transforms the wait-for-menu moment into a self-paced, modern experience guests can control.

Project Objective

To replace outdated paper menus and disconnected ordering flows with a clean, intuitive guest interface that speeds up decision-making, improves clarity, and enhances guest satisfaction; all with zero app downloads.

Identifying Unique Challenges

Guests often had to wait for staff before seeing the menu
Outdated paper menus didn’t reflect real-time availability
No way for guests to track or revisit what they ordered
Digital menus on the market felt clunky or not mobile-optimized
Hospitality teams needed something guest-friendly and easy to maintain

Impact

Achieved a 60% reduction in manual guest check-ins by digitizing guest interactions across 10+ hospitality brands.
Enabled small restaurants to increase order accuracy by 35% and guest satisfaction scores by 20% through tech-enhanced dining tools.
Improved guest autonomy with self-service features, leading to a 40% decrease in wait time without reducing staff interaction quality.
Reduced menu update lag from 24 hours to under 2 hours, enabling real-time responses to stock changes and seasonal offerings.

Meeting User Needs

Hospitality guests want a digital menu experience that’s fast, clear, and reliable. We responded by building a system that:
Opens instantly with a QR code — no downloads required
Shows only what’s available in real-time
Allows guests to browse by meal type, preferences, or allergens
Makes it easy to order and re-order without confusion
Whether it’s a first-time diner or a returning guest, the platform adapts to their pace and preferences.

What I Learned

Designing for hospitality guests means designing for simplicity without assumptions. Even tech-savvy users need clarity, speed, and trust; not just pretty interfaces. Through testing and iteration, we learned that:
Feedback matters: Guests want to see confirmation for every interaction.
Loading time = trust: Guests equated speed with reliability.
Don’t overwhelm: Clear hierarchy and calm spacing beats feature stacking.
