Customer Walkthrough — OpenLate

Walkthrough 1 — Late-night scramble (primary scenario)

Goal: Find food open late in your current city without opening every listing.

  1. Open OpenLate on your phone after landing in an unfamiliar city late at night.
  2. Allow location access.
  3. Confirm the header shows your current city (e.g. "What's open in Denver?").
  4. Scroll to Open Late and Open 24 Hours sections first.
  5. Pick a restaurant — note the closing time and distance on the card.
  6. Tap Directions to navigate there.

Pass if: City auto-detected, groups populated, closing times visible without tapping into listings.

Walkthrough 2 — Manual city search

Goal: Plan ahead for a different city.

  1. Deny location (or use a desktop browser).
  2. Type "Austin, TX" in the search box and tap Go.
  3. Confirm header updates to Austin.
  4. Browse grouped results.

Pass if: City search loads restaurants for the searched city.

Walkthrough 3 — Closing soon warning

Goal: Avoid arriving at a place about to close.

  1. Load restaurants in your city during evening hours.
  2. Look for Closing Soon group with "within 30 min" badge.
  3. Confirm cards show "Closing within 30 minutes!" warning.

Pass if: Closing-soon group and warnings appear when applicable.
