Sai Pure Veg: A Restaurant Website the Kitchen Can Update Itself

At a glance

The challenge

Sai Pure Veg had a menu of over two hundred dishes and no website. Customers asked for the menu on WhatsApp, table bookings came by phone, and any change to a dish or price meant reprinting. The restaurant needed one place online that showed the full menu, took reservations and answered enquiries, and that staff could update without calling a developer.

What we built

A fast public website and a simple admin panel on Laravel.

• Menu. 204 dishes in 10 categories, each with description and price, searchable and filterable on mobile where most customers browse it.
• Table booking. Reservation form with date, time and party size, landing in the admin with status tracking.
• Enquiries. Catering and event requests captured with the same flow.
• Admin panel. Add or edit dishes and categories, mark items unavailable, manage bookings and enquiries, and update opening hours and site settings.

How we approached it

The menu was the product, so it was built mobile-first and tested on the restaurant’s own phones before anything else. The admin was kept to the four things staff actually change (dishes, availability, bookings and hours) and nothing else. The site is live at saiveg.apothemit.in.

Results

• Full 204-dish menu online and maintained by restaurant staff.
• Table reservations and enquiries captured in one admin instead of across phone calls and chats.
• Menu changes go live in minutes with no reprinting and no developer.
