Process Flowcharts for Food Ordering Systems

I created complete workflows for users and admins for two food ordering systems: a text-based system and a no-code system. The flowcharts shown here are for the text-based system.  All were created to compare capabilities/limitations and to development cost estimates/run rates between these two and a custom web app option. (Off-the-shelf systems were also considered but didn't have the right features.)

Adding User Process Flowchart.Ordering Process Flowchart

The no-code option won out even though it had fewer capabilities, mainly because its short-term and long-term costs were significantly lower.  After we decided on the no-code option, I implemented it by:

  • Making the Google survey and connected tracking spreadsheet
  • Managing the transition off the old system  
  • Training those that have kept the new system running ever since

Cover design and Photography

I made the cover for the self-published book Encounters with Rabbits.  I also provided the main images on the front and back cover.

Office of Economic Development Booklet

An eight-page opportunity zone booklet I put together for the Governor’s Office of Economic Development after researching and writing the content.  As with the Campus Overview (and many of my other projects), I used existing material and created graphics and took photos as needed to get the best finished result.

Campus Overview

A real estate report available both as a 27-slide deck and 27-page PDF.  Contains background information, photos, and floor plans for over a dozen industrial buildings.  I kept the report updated, and it grew another three slides/pages over time.  As of 2024 the newer version is still posted here.

Framed Engineering Posters

A total of over 80 items used for a mix of permanent display, VIP tours, and open house events over several years (sample set shown below). Worked with engineers and management on everything from the design of the original template to the assembly and creation of component visuals to the drafting of copy. Also worked with two different printers and framers on final production. Typical size of 60" by 38", with some much larger.

Specs/Mockups for Update to Management Tools

This set covers several refinements to existing work order and expense tracking features as well as the addition of a handful of new features.

Starting at the top left corner: improved detail view for an expense item, below which is a visual history of the expense as allocated (accessible from the detail view).

The other image on the top row is a modified version of a summary view of all work orders for a given class code.  Below this view are two new detail views: one showing machine time allocations, the other showing summary budget info.

The third row shows what comes up if the user drills into the details for the budget: significant milestones, spending over time, and editing functions are all shown.

Note that this is only a sample of the full set of specs, and, note that, as with other proprietary items, the copyright of the component images belongs to Novatek and the thumbnails are intentionally shown at a size that obscures the finer details (alas).

Support Materials for Impromptu Management Training

A cross-section of items from different parts of Novatek's system of web tools: the Friday before Christmas we had an all-managers meeting to set the stage for changes coming in 2013.  I provided the visuals by assembling a set of mockups from the backlog of not-yet-implemented designs.  I also drove while the COO gave the presentation (switching between the live site and the visual aids, etc.).

Quick rundown of the images, left to right, top to bottom: a drill down screen with an overlay showing all time allocations of one individual, a service work order summary screen, a prototype work order summary screen with an overlay showing machine time, a profile screen with emphasis on newly added data, an alert on the main time allocation overview screen, an individual time allocation, a service work order in edit mode, and a machine time summary screen.

(As with other proprietary items, the copyright of the component images belongs to Novatek and
the thumbnails pictured are intentionally shown at a size that obscures all the good stuff, alas.)
