Overview

About this project

Zaiqa is the online home of a restaurant whose customers were already living on their phones but had no proper way to see the menu, judge the food, or reserve a table before visiting. The website presents the complete menu with real photography of the dishes, tells the restaurant's story, and routes every order and reservation into a WhatsApp conversation. It was written Pakistani-diner first, mixing English with Urdu touches so it feels like the neighbourhood restaurant it represents, not a generic template.

The challenge

The problem it solves

Before the website, the restaurant's phone rang all evening with the same handful of questions: what is on the menu, what is in this dish, do you have a table for six? Staff repeated the menu out loud while handwritten orders were occasionally mixed up, evenings ran stressful, and a new customer searching online found nothing credible to judge the place by. The challenge was to move that entire question-and-order burden onto a page customers enjoy using — and make the WhatsApp message that arrives be the order itself, not another question.

What we built

Features that do the work

Full online menu with real photography

Every dish is shown with a proper photograph, description and price, so customers decide at home instead of interrogating the staff by phone.

WhatsApp ordering

Tapping a dish opens WhatsApp with the order already written out — the kitchen receives an actual order, not a conversation starter.

Table reservations on WhatsApp

The reservation flow pre-fills date, time and party size, so booking a table takes one message instead of a phone negotiation.

Deals and combo cards

Family deals and combos are presented as clear cards with totals, the format Pakistani families actually order in.

Bilingual Urdu / English presentation

Headings, dish notes and calls to action mix Urdu and English the way the restaurant's own customers speak.

Dining-space gallery

A photo gallery shows the seating, family hall and ambience, answering the 'is it suitable for families?' question before it is asked.

Hours, location and one-tap directions

Opening hours and the map location sit on every page footer path, with directions a single tap away.

Project journey

How Zaiqa got here

  1. October 2026

    Concept & design

    The design started from one observation: a restaurant site is judged by its food photos and its menu speed. The layout, colours and bilingual voice were built around the menu as the hero of the site.

  2. October 2026

    Build

    The full multi-page site was built — menu, deals, gallery, about and contact — with every order and reservation action wired into structured WhatsApp messages.

  3. October 2026

    Quality pass

    Every page was reworked to the studio standard: real photography instead of placeholders, technical and on-page SEO throughout, equal-height aligned layouts, and the content rules applied across the whole site.

  4. 21 October 2026

    Launched live

    Zaiqa went live at zaiqa.mamfss.com, where it now takes orders and reservations directly from the menu pages.

Current status

Where it stands today

Live at zaiqa.mamfss.com and handling the job it was built for: customers browse the photographed menu and the messages that arrive are orders and bookings, not questions.

Next step: Seasonal menu updates and new dish photography can be added as the restaurant's menu evolves, and the site is ready to be connected to Google Business reviews.

Client words

What the client says

★★★★★
“Most people used to phone us just to ask what was on the menu. Now they open the website, see the dishes properly, and the WhatsApp message that arrives is the actual order. It is a small thing, but our evenings run calmer because of it.”
