Primary Goal & Design Considerations

The objective of FoodCommand is to create a web portal that aggregate offerings from food delivery websites and directs users to appropriate food delivery website. This service will be exceptionally helpful since restaurant offerings vary quite heavily among delivery websites across geographies. This website is NOT e-commerce because it will not do any transactions; it's kind of a portal, similar to Kayak.com, that directs users to other the appropriate food delivery websites.

FoodCommand will eliminate the need of users to go from 1 site to another just to get the food he/she likes. It tries to achieve the following user scenario:
Steven has had a long day at work and gets home tired and hungry. He feels like having some Chinese for dinner, and goes to Food Command to look at all of his options. Steven appreciates that Food Command shows him all of his online Chinese delivery options, so he doesn't have to go from Seamless to Allmenus to Foodler to find something he likes. He decides to get some dumplings from Joyful Garden, and in one click is taken to Seamless.com where he is able to place his order. Food delivered and belly full, Steven will be a Food Command user for life.

The goal of this contest is to design the front-end web pages of FoodCommand with the features outlined below. The provided "Dine Front End" powerpoint presentation will serve as your reference.
