01 · The Problem
Missed Phone Calls During Busy Dinner Service
Le Bardo serves traditional Algerian gastronomy with a modern gastronomic presentation. During peak evening dinner rush, staff couldn't answer phones to take weekend reservations, resulting in lost high-ticket group bookings and walk-in confusion.
02 · What Was Built
Editorial Serif Aesthetics & Self-Managed Admin
We developed an editorial web experience with an integrated management portal:
- ✦ Editorial Typography & Warm Palette: Elegant serif typography that matches the restaurant's culinary heritage and decor.
- ✦ Instant Table Reservation System: Guests select dates, guest counts, and special seating requests with instant confirmation.
- ✦ Owner Admin Panel: Password-protected dashboard where the manager reviews bookings and toggles daily specials in real time.
03 · Strategic Decision
Built-In Portal Instead of Expensive Monthly Apps
✕ Eliminated $180/mo Table Management Software Fees
Instead of subscribing to costly third-party reservation software (like OpenTable or SevenRooms), we built a custom lightweight dashboard directly into their website for zero recurring monthly software fees.
