| Here is a restaurant website for a UK based chain that we just launched (in Dec 09). http://giraffe.net I feel its both attractive and functional. Its primarily supposed to be a website (i.e used from a normal web browser) but will work fine on your iphone. There is no flash but we've used jquery extensively for 'flashiness'. There is also prominent twitter/flickr and facebook engagement throughout. There are menu's (web based and pdf choices), offers and locations. Try googling for 'giraffe menu' - the menu is the top hit. We spent a while fine tuning the location finder http://giraffe.net/restaurants which uses the google API to provide 'a nearest list' functionality. Once you chosen a restaurant it will also provide you with a list of other restaurants close to your choice. The site www.usabilitypost.com did a feature on the location finder as we've also done something cool with the location search box. http://www.usabilitypost.com/2009/11/30/search-dropdown-hybr... The idea behind the site is simple. Get people to the restaurants. We've had a lot of feedback that suggests that it does just that and we're quite proud of the result. |
