Overview

Web Design & Development Project Overview

Mano’s is a Saskatoon steakhouse, and a restaurant website has a shorter job than almost any other kind: somebody is hungry, or somebody is deciding where to put twenty people on a Friday. The rest of the site exists to serve one of those two moments.

So the menus sit at the front, split into food and drinks so neither is a scroll through the other, and ordering passes straight to the platform that actually takes it instead of being reinvented on the website. The parts that make a restaurant money quietly — large groups, catering, gift cards, promotions — are each given a route of their own instead of hiding in a footer, because a party of twenty is worth a great deal more than a table for two and is decided by somebody who needs to see capacity, not atmosphere. Careers and the community and fundraising material sit alongside, which in hospitality is the same page doing two jobs: hiring, and being the sort of place people want to be seen supporting.

Case study

Deep Dive

What actually went into Mano’s Restaurant’s build, decision by decision — and the service behind each one.

  • 01

    A table for two, or a party of twenty

    Two completely different visits arrive at a restaurant site. One wants the menu and the opening hours. The other is organising something and needs capacity, catering and somebody to talk to. Large Groups and Catering are their own routes for that reason — the second visit is worth many times the first and is lost entirely if it has to hunt.

    Let the ordering platform do the ordering

    Online ordering hands off to an outside system rather than being rebuilt on the website. Restaurants change ordering platforms; a site that has been welded to one becomes an obstacle the day that happens. Handing off cleanly costs nothing and means the switch is a link change instead of a project.

    The quiet revenue gets its own door

    Gift cards, promotions, catering, private events. None of them is what a restaurant is famous for and together they carry a serious share of the year. Each one being a named destination instead of footer small print is what separates a customer finding it from a customer phoning to ask whether you do it.
