The vision

Three directions. Two locations.

All three follow the same six sections: hero, story, menu, the challenge that is unique to this shop, the two locations, and a call to order.

Three directions, built in code

For King Katsu Land, we designed three directions and built each as a working page.

Crown Noirblack marble, a spotlight and crown gold. Made for evenings and a premium position.
Katsu Land Popa vermilion field, chunky type and cut-out plates, as playful as the "Land" in the name.
Gyeongyangsik Editorialcream paper and serif type, the nostalgia of a Korean western-style diner, set like a magazine.

The owner could review the layouts, menu and location information on a phone as well as a desktop.

Research before design

The directions came after the research: a sales brief of 21 slides and a research board on who searches nearby, what they ask and who ranks today.

Facts first, then the site.

Two locations

Each location has its own Order links, to DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats.

Outcomes

Google shows the new site near the top when people look for food in Daly City, and each location now has its own order link.
