Brigade cover: a tablet in Coup de feu mode lists late tables, a watch announces a dish ready for table 12.

01 The project

Room and kitchen on one clock.

Brigade is a concept for a fictional bistro, Table Fernand. Teams change often: France Travail lists 93,769 waiter recruitment projects for 2026, 42 % expected to be difficult. The head of room learns about a late table when the guest complains. A service score puts every table on the same timeline as the kitchen. At the peak, the dark Coup de feu mode keeps only what is late on screen, and the flame colour is used only to signal a delay. A declared allergy follows the table to the order, the ticket and the plate. First Service mode gives a new waiter one action at a time and alerts the head of room when a step lasts more than 5 minutes.

Desk research, wireframes, a design system with 109 variables and 160 components, 14 tablet, watch and mobile screens, a 56-link prototype.

02 Screens

Tablet Service score screen: one timeline per table with a red line marking the current time.
Dark tablet Coup de feu screen: table 12, the oldest, on top, then late or watched tables.
Three mobile screens: covering an absence in the evening team, the live service and the first-service welcome.
Design system colour board: primitive palettes and semantic tokens in Inox and Coup de feu modes.

03 Transparency

  • Concept project, made on my own to show my method.
  • None. Personal project, sample data. Desk research only, sources read on 17 October 2026 (France Travail BMO 2026, EU Regulation 1169/2011). No interviews. Personas are hypotheses. Not tested. A test plan is written (two evening services in one bistro, observation plus a 15-minute debrief) but was not run. Contrast ratios computed by script from the variables, three failing pairs fixed with darker tokens. A check of the tokens, not an audit. Dish photos generated with Figma AI. No real dish or restaurant.
  • Designed in Figma with an AI-assisted workflow, directed and reviewed by the designer.
