Problem
Wayfarer Tavern had built a standout gastropub with exceptional food and ambiance, but their online presence fell short. The existing website lacked aesthetic coherence, mobile-friendliness, and practical functionality like online ordering and bookings. This mismatch affected customer engagement and conversions.
Solution
Rendr collaborated with the Wayfarer team to design and build a modern business site featuring seamless online ordering, mobile-optimised reservation forms, and a polished design reflecting the restaurant’s character. The site blends content, ease of use, and reliable functionality.
Results
In just four weeks, the Wayfarer Tavern site went live with a fully designed layout, mobile-responsive design, online ordering, and table reservation features. The result is a cohesive digital experience that speaks to clientele, enhances brand perception, and supports operations with streamlined backend controls.
About the client
Modern hospitality deserves a modern web presence — Wayfarer Tavern needed more than a website, they needed a platform that works as hard as they do.
Wayfarer Tavern is a new startup with a strong concept: relaxed fine dining, quality drinks, and a welcoming ambience. But their digital presence was dragging behind with a basic, under-designed site that didn’t work well on mobile, lacked ordering and booking, and didn’t reflect the brand’s personality.
They approached Rendr not for another template rebuild, but for a rich, high-quality business platform, one that would attract customers online and support their operations offline.
Rendr helped translate Wayfarer Tavern’s brand into a functional website: elegant design, clear visuals, integrated menu browsing, reservations via form or widget, and intuitive online ordering. We created an interface that highlights the venue’s atmosphere and makes it easy for diners to take action.
In four weeks, Wayfarer Tavern went from concept to fully functional and launch-ready site. Now, the team can confidently attract, engage, and serve diners both online and in-house, all while preserving the quality and charm of the experience they set out to create.
