Why
Restaurant websites often split atmosphere, menu browsing, and reservation into separate destinations, forcing guests to rebuild context.

A mobile-first restaurant experience where discovery, menu exploration and table reservation move as one continuous journey.

What
A mobile-first restaurant experience that connects discovery, a scannable menu, and table booking inside one continuous journey.
How
Three persistent modes, visual chapters, progressive booking, and responsive hierarchy keep desire and action close together.
01 / Experience intent
Fine dining,
without the friction.
Restaurant websites often separate brand storytelling, a long menu and reservation into disconnected destinations.
SHIKI reframes those jobs as three modes inside one app-like shell. Visitors can feel the atmosphere, inspect the food and act on their intent without losing context.

02 / Product architecture
Three modes.
One mental model.
A persistent navigation keeps the core customer jobs one tap away and gives the experience the clarity of a focused product.
01
Start
Build desire through atmosphere, signature experiences and restaurant stories.
02
Menu
Turn a long catalogue into a scannable system of categories, dishes and prices.
03
Book
Keep availability, party size and the selected time together in one focused flow.
03 / Immersive discovery
Let atmosphere
lead the interface.
Signature offerings become visual chapters rather than generic navigation cards, creating a direct bridge between brand and product discovery.
Auto-preview / menu hierarchy
05 / Reservation flow
From intent to
a confirmed moment.
Date, service period, available time and party size stay visible in one progressive flow. The interface makes the next decision obvious without presenting a dense form.

06 / Responsive behaviour
App-like on mobile.
Cinematic on desktop.
The same hierarchy shifts from an immersive wide canvas to a thumb-friendly mobile flow. Core navigation remains persistent without covering primary content.

07 / Prototype outcome
A clearer route
from desire to decision.
Atmosphere first
Photography establishes the dining mood before the interface asks for an action.
One persistent model
Start, Menu and Book remain available without forcing visitors back through the hierarchy.
Conversion in context
Reservation appears at the moment intent is strongest—not as a detached final step.
