Designing a booking platform around trust

Food entrepreneurs needed more than an available kitchen. They needed to know whether a space was safe, equipped and suitable for their business. I researched those needs and designed a booking prototype in a Harness class project with the founder and other designers.

Brightside Church kitchen

A practical space for your next day of food prep.

Commercial equipmentOn-site parkingStorage available

Plan your time in the kitchen

Check the equipment, space requirements and available extras before booking.

Equipment and facilities

Commercial ovens, refrigerators, freezer space and a microwave. Confirm capacity and any specialist equipment with the host.

Licensing and shared-space requirements

Ask the host which licenses apply, whether other businesses will share the space and what access arrangements are available. This concept does not verify licensing or availability.

Host and arrival information

Brightside Church, Houston. The proposed confirmation would include host contact details and check-in instructions.

"I'd want to know if there's secure storage so I can store my supplies overnight."Entrepreneur interview · Four participants interviewed

The interviews surfaced practical requirements that could determine whether a kitchen was usable. I made storage an explicit booking option.

Project outcome and next steps

This Harness class project produced a prototype for further testing, not a launched service or measured conversion result. A next research priority was understanding hosts' requirements and checking their alignment with entrepreneurs' needs. The interface labeled "New UI exploration" is a later portfolio iteration. The research close-ups below it are original class-project screens.
