🎮 Loading Bar 🎮
Board game café & bar, London (Stoke Newington) + Brighton. 80+ board games, retro consoles, a full arcade den. Current website : https://loading.bar/location/stoke-newington/ Proposal : https://loading-glow-up.base44.app
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🤔 What was missing 🤔
• Booking ran through a generic third-party widget - many clicks which feel redundant • The neon-arcade personality that makes the venue special wasn't showing up online
•80+ games, consoles, and arcade cabinets - invisible until you walk in
• Every "what should we play?" or "what's vegan?" meant pulling a staff member away. Hard to plan a night out.
• Turn up excited to play something specific, and sometimes it's already on another table
• If you're planning a night out on a tight schedule, there was no way to sort any of this in advance. Some of us are not that spontaneous :P
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 What was built 🚀
• A new booking flow - one page, live price ticking as you tap, real-time availability
• The brand, everywhere - custom glowing neon wordmark, arcade-inspired UI down to a loading bar that's literally the progress indicator
• A full games library online 0 searchable by player count, difficulty, category, so you know what's there before you go
• " Set a game aside" at booking - reserve what you want to play, so it's actually free when you arrive
• An AI Game Sommelier - recommends games for your group, answers FAQs, plans your whole night and books the table in chat - perfect for planning ahead on a tight schedule
• 3 branded email automations - confirmation, 24h reminder, review request, owner alert - all on-brand, not plaintext
• Proper multi-venue - pick London or Brighton once, everything follows
• One hidden easter egg - insert coin, play Snake, because why not??

a proposal for a real board game cafe is a fun pick for the glow up challenge
