THE PROBLEM

A new name with nothing to show

Kabirobe was opening in eight weeks with a chef, a lease and no brand. No logo, no menu design, no site - and a launch that depended on people trusting a restaurant they had never heard of. The identity and the site had to arrive together.

WHAT WE BUILT

One system, every surface

  • Identity first. Wordmark, colour and type built to work on a menu, a window decal and a 375px screen equally well.
  • Story-led homepage. The chef and the sourcing story up top, because that is what a first-time diner is buying.
  • Reservations in two taps. Booking widget embedded and styled to match, with a pinned button on mobile.
  • Private-events funnel. A dedicated page and enquiry form that now brings in the highest-margin bookings.
THE BRAND

One identity, from the menu to the window

Menu and private-events pages share the same type and colour system as the printed menus and signage.

"The brand finally matches the food. Weekend covers are up and private-event requests come straight through the site."
