Project Description

Magnifiko came to Soleno with only a logo — we built the brand, a multilingual website, and a custom menu dashboard the kitchen runs every week.

Problem

Designing for a restaurant with no digital footprint meant starting from zero on three fronts at once: brand, content system, and an interface the kitchen could actually run.

Problem 1

No website meant guests had nowhere to discover the menu, the story, or the room before booking.

Problem 2

Serving French, English, and Italian guests required language parity without doubling the maintenance cost.

Problem 3

Seasonal menus changed often, but the team had no way to update them without going through a developer.

Solution

Strip the project down to three clean pieces, one brand, one site, one dashboard, and let them share a single design language so the experience feels effortless on every surface.

Solution 1

A focused brand system of type, palette, and photography that gives the existing logo a complete world to live in.

Solution 2

A multilingual marketing site built in Next.js, with server-rendered routes for FR · EN · IT and a single shared layout.

Solution 3

A Node.js menu dashboard with live preview, so the kitchen can publish a new dish in under a minute, no devs needed.

Design Process

A simple linear path from brand to launch, with the kitchen involved at every checkpoint.
