Sushiato.

The opportunity

From the room to the right location.

The public site brings together the menu, ordering, promotions, and four locations. The proposal makes the dining experience the opening, gives menu browsing more structure, and keeps location details in one place. These are design hypotheses, not measured performance results.

Screen by screen

One restaurant family, four useful moments.

Four comparisons follow the public site and the proposed redesign through opening, story, menu, and visit details. Original website on the left. Sparza redesign on the right, with complete sections and additional views.

01 / Opening

Start inside the restaurant.

The public homepage opens with people sharing sushi and an ordering path. The concept opens in the Doral dining room to establish atmosphere before moving into food and visits.

02 / Story

Give the cultural mix room to breathe.

The public About page explains the Latin fusion idea over guest photography. The concept gives that idea a shorter editorial introduction and a path to the menu.
