If you hate awkward small talk and just want a frictionless check-in after a long flight, this is for you. We designed an immersive Virtual Concierge kiosk The Lively Hotels, Japan 🇯🇵 that handles check-ins and airport transfers completely human-free.
The custom dark-mode interface directly mirrors the moody aesthetic of the hotel lobby and the vibe of its Japanese surroundings.
An immersive experience website for FUTURE HUMAN - a life-altering guidance programme, featuring custom high-quality 3D animations, tactile textures and a seamless responsive layout for every device.
I’ve been working on AKARI (あかり) — a Japanese food restaurant website that I’m building both as a real-shop-ready concept and as a showcase of my web design & development work.
I’ve made two different versions of the design, and I want the Contra community to decide which direction looks better.
🅰️ Option A
Design 1 — More bold, structured and brand-focused.
🅱️ Option B
Design 2 — More minimal, clean and modern.
🅲️ Option C
Neither? 😅
Tell me what you would change, add, or completely redesign. I’m open to ideas!
👇 Vote A, B, or C in the comments.
Which one would you choose for a Japanese restaurant?
🍣 AKARI — あかり
Authentic Japanese Taste, Made for Everyone.
I’d lean toward Design A—the bolder structure gives the restaurant a clearer point of view, while the centered dish still keeps the page inviting. The restrained palette and generous whitespace make the food do the talking.
Architected and deployed a full production B2B SaaS platform for restaurants, bars, and hospitality businesses with active daily operations and paying subscribers.
Key Engineering & Product Highlights:
• Integrated AI Operations Assistant: In-app conversational assistant powered by Google Gemini API, allowing restaurant managers to query sales velocity, stock anomalies, and daily operational metrics in real-time.
• Granular Inventory Engine: Real-time ingredient tracking down to the gram/milliliter linked directly to recipe consumption upon checkout.
• Real-Time Kitchen Sync: Bi-directional WebSocket events keeping order queues synchronized across multiple kitchen stations with zero page reloads.
• Multi-Branch & Multi-Tenant: Robust tenant data isolation, custom role-based permissions (Cashier, Waiter, Kitchen, Admin), and multi-location management.
