Grande Burrito

A restaurant website has a very practical first job: help someone decide whether to visit. Grande’s existing web presence fragments the details people need most—current hours, menu choices, prices, a phone number, and directions.

The mobile-first site places today’s status, menu access, and visit actions in the first page context. Behind it, a focused Sanity studio lets the owner manage menus, sold-out states, regular and exceptional hours, announcements, photography, and small copy changes without touching the layout.

The visual system draws from the storefront, signage, food, and personality of the real place rather than a generic restaurant template. Every expressive choice must still support fast scanning, resilient content, visible focus, reduced motion, and essential information when scripting is delayed.

• Structured menu and hours data drive both visible content and machine-readable business information.
• Scheduled exceptions override regular hours and expire automatically.
• A content snapshot keeps core public information available during a CMS outage.
• Constrained editing protects the design while making routine updates approachable.

I defined the product requirements, content model, design-system contract, frontend and studio architecture, validation rules, testing strategy, and ownership-transfer plan. The project is currently moving from functional foundation into the full brand expression.
