A café site that takes orders before the kettle's on
The Daily Grind is a complete café build: browse the menu, add a flat white to your basket, pick a collection time and collect a loyalty stamp - all without an app download or a queue.

The brief
Most café websites are a photo, a phone number and a PDF menu. The brief: build the café site every independent coffee shop actually needs - one that takes order-ahead seriously, rewards regulars, and can be updated in seconds when the cake of the day changes.
The approach
The design leans into warmth: cream and espresso tones, a hand-written chalkboard accent for daily specials, and photography-first sections that feel like sitting in the window seat. It deliberately avoids the cold, corporate template look - a café sells atmosphere, and the site has to carry it.
Functionally, everything points at two jobs: get the order started, and get the regular back. The menu is a live, filterable card system with a working basket and collection-time picker. The loyalty card is digital - stamp, count, free-coffee state - so 'every 10th coffee free' stops being a soggy bit of cardboard.
