APPROVED VALIDATION:

Focuses user completely inside a single, high-contrast modal canvas.

Standard pattern easily understood and immediately dismissible with a universal close option.

Challenge — 2

Headcount Input Pattern

Headcount Input Pattern

Initial Ideation

DESIGN CRITIQUE:

DESIGN CRITIQUE:

Number + chevron implies a menu, not a direct control

Changing the count takes two actions: open, then select

No visible sense of the min/max range while closed

Final Cut

APPROVED VALIDATION:

APPROVED VALIDATION:

Minus/plus buttons adjust the count in place, one tap per step

Matches the quantity-selector pattern people already know from checkout

A button can simply disable itself at the min or max limit

Challenge — 3

Date & discreet Time Slot Selection

Date & discreet Time Slot Selection

Initial Ideation

DESIGN CRITIQUE:

All three options share the same price and pickup times

Price sits in small type, separated from the option it prices

No real basis for comparing or choosing between cards

Final Cut

APPROVED VALIDATION:

Each option carries its own price and its own pickup times

Price sits top-right next to the option name — scan once, compare fast

Selecting a card now changes what you're actually booking
