The Schedex web app: the weekly schedule

the problem

as the platform grew, it became overly complex. new restaurants faced a steep learning curve, and every onboarding required comprehensive, hands-on training. the product worked, but scaling it was painful.

the redesign

i joined to lead a comprehensive overhaul: simplifying the platform on a foundation of untitledUI as the design system, modernizing the brand, and building an engaging framer landing page.

the rationale was simple: if the product explains itself, restaurants can adopt it independently, on their own.

results

restaurants across lebanon, cyprus, and singapore now manage labor and staff scheduling with schedex, onboarding themselves, saving on labor costs, and spending their time on service instead of spreadsheets.

a note on attribution: the 15% saving is schedex's own measurement of what scheduling does for a restaurant. my redesign's job was making that value reachable by any restaurant, with zero hands-on training.
