Case Studies

 

Without changing one pixel of the current design, we worked with staff members to develop a fully customized CMS that allowed the restaurant to promote their current menu and events in an accessible, non-technical manner.

 

The menu at Upstairs on the Square spans two separate dining rooms (each with it's own kitchen and menu) as well as lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch and afternoon tea. The content management system needed to allow staff the ability to publish, archive and edit menu items in a quick and easy manner.

 

We designed the CMS to replacate the actual menu so that managing menu items was initiuitve to restaurant staff. A simple tabbed interface allowed staff to save draft menu items, archive items that are repeated seasonally, as well as save notes and log who changed what when.

 

Adding a new menu item is easy using a simple yet robust web-based form that requires no HTML or other coding.
