Burgereria: A Case Study of Flavorful Design

1. Introduction

Client: Burgereria - A San Antonio burger joint with a rich history (since 1960...something!) and a passion for unique sauces.
Project: Website Redesign
My Role: Lead UX/UI Designer - responsible for research, design, and implementation.
Problem: Burgereria's existing website was outdated, difficult to navigate on mobile, and didn't effectively showcase their menu or brand personality. As a result, online orders and reservations were low.
Objective: To create a modern, user-friendly website that reflects Burgereria's vibrant brand, highlights their delicious food, and drives a 30% increase in online orders and reservations within the first quarter.

2. Research & Insights

User Research: We conducted user interviews with 20 regular Burgereria customers, as well as analyzed competitor websites and social media engagement.
Key Findings:
Users loved Burgereria's food, especially their unique sauces, but found it difficult to view the full menu and learn about weekly specials on the old website.
Mobile users were frustrated by the website's lack of responsiveness.
Customers were interested in learning more about the history of Burgereria and the inspiration behind their recipes.
Persona: We created a persona named "Maria," a 28-year-old local professional who enjoys trying new restaurants and values convenience. Maria wants to easily view the menu, make a reservation for Salsa Saturdays, and potentially order sauces online.

3. Design Process

Ideation: We started with a brainstorming session to map out the key features and user flows for the new website. We focused on creating a visually appealing experience that showcased Burgereria's food and highlighted its unique story.

Wireframing & Prototyping: We created low-fidelity wireframes to outline the website's structure and user navigation. Then, we moved on to high-fidelity mockups using Figma, focusing on:
Homepage: A hero section with high-quality burger images, clear calls to action ("Reservations" and "Shop Sauces"), and a brief introduction to Burgereria's history. Below, a section dedicated to "Indulge in Our Food," "Meet Us at the Bar," and "Shop Our Products."
Menu: A visually driven menu (as seen in the attached screenshots) with high-quality images of each item, detailed descriptions, and pricing.
Calendar/Events: A dedicated page to promote weekly events like Salsa Saturdays, Friday Night Fever, and Happy Hour specials.
Sauces: A dedicated section to highlight Burgereria's signature sauces, with descriptions of their flavors and ingredients, and an "Order Now" button.
Design Decisions:
Color Palette: We used a warm and inviting color palette of reds, oranges, and browns to evoke a sense of comfort and appetite appeal.
Typography: We selected a modern and legible font that is easy to read on all devices.
Imagery: High-quality food photography and videography were prioritized to showcase the deliciousness of Burgereria's food.

4. Testing & Iteration

Usability Testing: We conducted usability testing with 10 target users to gather feedback on the prototype.
Key Findings:
Users initially found it difficult to find the "Shop Sauces" button.
Some users wanted more details about the ingredients and spice levels of the sauces.
Iterations: Based on the feedback, we made the "Shop Sauces" button more prominent, added ingredient lists and spice level indicators to the sauce descriptions, and implemented other smaller UI tweaks.

5. Final Design & Functionality

Showcase: The final website features a clean, modern design that is fully responsive on all devices. It's easy to navigate, visually appealing, and effectively showcases Burgereria's unique brand and delicious food.
Key Functionality:
Seamless online ordering and reservation system.
Interactive menu with high-quality images and detailed descriptions.
Engaging event calendar.
Dedicated sauce section with online ordering capabilities.

6. Results & Impact

Within the first quarter after launching the new website, Burgereria saw a:
45% increase in online orders.
35% increase in online reservations.
20% increase in website traffic.
Positive customer feedback on the website's design and usability.
Client Quote: "The new website has been a game-changer for our business! Our online orders and reservations have skyrocketed, and customers are constantly telling us how much they love the new design." - Chef [Made-up name], Owner of Burgereria.

7. Reflection & Lessons Learned

Challenges: Balancing the need for visual appeal with usability. Ensuring the website loaded quickly despite high-quality images.
Solutions: Optimized images for web, implemented lazy loading, and prioritized clear navigation and call-to-action buttons.
Lessons Learned: The importance of user testing in identifying usability issues and the value of investing in high-quality food photography.
Next Steps: Plan to implement a loyalty program to encourage repeat online orders.
This is a fictionalized example, but it demonstrates how you can create a compelling case study even with limited information. The key is to use the available visuals to inspire your narrative and focus on highlighting the design process, key decisions, and the (imagined) positive impact on the client's business. Remember to always be ethical and transparent when presenting real-world case studies.
