How it went, course by course

Four stages, in the order they happened, in the words the project was recorded in.

  1. 01 · Where they started

    The seasonal dining menus form ended in silence. No confirmation page, no follow-up email, no indication of the next step.

  2. 02 · What was going wrong

    Day to day with seasonal dining menus, senders resubmitted or telephoned to confirm receipt. Each duplicate cost more time to untangle than the original inquiry would have.

  3. 03 · What we built

    Submissions now end on a confirmation page that recaps the inquiry and describes the path to a reservation discussion with the host team. A follow-up email explains how to amend the details and gives realistic response expectations tied to working hours.

The confirmation for seasonal dining menus spells out what we do next. Nobody should have to wonder whether pressing send actually worked.

Questions about this project

How long did this project take?

25 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The clock starts once the restaurant has approved the content, so the time is spent building and checking rather than waiting on copy.

Which parts of the offer did it use?

Confirmation page, Acknowledgment email, Correction contact, Opening-hours guidance. On this site that work sits under reservations and enquiries land where you already work, which is included on every plan from The Folio up.

Why is the restaurant not named?

We describe each client by the kind of restaurant it is and where it is: here, a vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Worcester, Massachusetts, 12 staff; one locally managed operation. The quote is credited to Clifford Harcourt, shift manager. We never publish a trading name, address, logo or photograph.

Could the same work fit our restaurant?

If guests read your pages or send you inquiries before they visit, most likely. Nothing here was a custom add-on: plans start at $117 a month, the $647 build fee is invoiced only after launch, and a walk-through on your own menu shows what the equivalent would look like for you.
