The challenge
Reducing dependency on third-party delivery platforms.
During the pandemic, the restaurant depended heavily on delivery platforms that charged high commission fees on every order.
The challenge was to create a faster and more accessible direct ordering experience that helped the business maintain customer relationships while improving operational independence.
Experience goal
A simple ordering flow for customers at home.
The goal was to design a simple and approachable ordering flow that allowed users to browse the menu, place orders quickly, and contact the restaurant directly through a streamlined digital experience.
Design direction
Friendly deli character with clear navigation.
The visual direction combined a friendly and approachable deli-style aesthetic with a clear and easy-to-navigate structure focused on speed and usability.
Special attention was given to menu organization, ordering clarity, and reducing friction throughout the experience.
Outcome
A stronger direct sales channel.
The project helped Brooklyn Deli strengthen its direct ordering channel during the pandemic while reducing dependency on third-party delivery platforms.
By simplifying the digital experience and improving accessibility, the website supported a more direct relationship between the restaurant and its customers.
