Overview

When Zizzi, one of the UK and Ireland’s top restaurant brands with more than 140 locations, needed a restaurant website design that would enhance their hospitality UX and drive online bookings, they enlisted the help of Propeller.

The result? A data-driven digital experience that not only delighted customers but also won Best Restaurant/Pub User Experience at The Caterer’s Digital Vision Awards (DIVAs). This restaurant booking optimisation project remains a benchmark in our portfolio for combining beautiful design with measurable impact.

Challenges

Zizzi’s previous site needed to:

  • Showcase the brand through a modern, visually rich restaurant website design.
  • Create a frictionless booking experience optimised for mobile and desktop.
  • To display menus, promotions, and offers in a manner appealing to various segments of customers.

Our Solution

We blended advanced data analysis with cutting-edge hospitality web design concepts to provide:

  • A data-driven homepage on the basis of a year-long user behavior record.
  • Personalized menu filtering for speedy, easy browsing.
  • Booking API integration for a hassle-free booking experience.
  • A custom offer system linked with Eagle Eye Solutions for live offer updates.
  • SEO-optimized site structure to enhance visibility for restaurant-based searches.

Results

Our efforts achieved phenomenal ROI:

  • 10%+ booking conversion rate (twice the industry norm).
  • 30% increase in website traffic in the initial months following launch.
  • Offers page as the 3rd most frequently visited on the site.

The project demonstrated that restaurant web design executed well can have a direct impact on revenue and customer loyalty.

Why it Still Matters Today

This winning hospitality UX initiative demonstrates the power of a combination of design, technology, and data expertise to deliver tangible results for restaurants. The solutions we created here – from restaurant booking optimization to personalized menu experiences – continue to guide how we craft high-converting hospitality websites to this day.
