BRANDING · RESTAURANTS & F&B
Branding for restaurants that survives the second location.
A restaurant brand isn't a logo — it's a system that has to hold up on the signage, the menu, the delivery apps, the packaging and the uniforms, in Arabic and English. We design the whole system in-house, in Dubai, and build it into the site and ordering flow it lives on.
It looked great on Instagram. Then it hit the real world.
A logo can look beautiful in a moodboard and still fall apart the moment it becomes a menu, a shopfront, a delivery tile and a takeaway bag. That gap is where restaurant brands quietly lose trust — and repeat customers.
A logo, not a system. One nice mark and no rules — so the menu, signage and social all drift into three different restaurants.
Menus that fight the kitchen. Every price change or seasonal special breaks the layout, so the menu ends up looking cheap and improvised.
Delivery apps off-brand. Talabat, Deliveroo and Noon show a stretched logo and a blurry photo — the first impression for most new guests.
Arabic bolted on. The identity was designed in English and the Arabic was pasted in later — so half your market gets the second-rate version.
One identity, engineered for every plate it touches.
Strategy first, then a complete, documented brand system — designed for the specific places a restaurant brand actually lives.
Brand strategy & positioning
Who you're for, what you stand for and why a guest chooses you over the unit next door — the decision the whole identity is built to win.
Naming & logo system
A primary mark plus the horizontal, stacked, icon and 15+ languages lockups you actually need — for a sign, a cup, an app icon and a stamp.
Menu design system
Print, QR and delivery menus built on one grid, so adding a dish or changing a price takes minutes and never breaks the look.
Signage & environment
Storefront, wayfinding and interior graphics specced for fabrication — so the sign that goes up matches the sign we designed.
Packaging & takeaway
Bags, boxes, cups, sleeves and stickers — the brand that travels home with the guest and lands all over their social feed.
Delivery-app kit
Storefront banners, category tiles and appetising hero shots sized for Talabat, Deliveroo, Noon and your own ordering page.
Uniforms & collateral
Aprons, tees, name tags, business cards and loyalty cards — the small touches that make a team look like one restaurant.
Photography art direction
A shot list and styling direction for food and space, so every image looks like your brand — not a stock library.
Brand guidelines
A living rulebook — colour, type, spacing, do's and don'ts — so a new outlet, printer or agency stays on-brand without you in the room.
Guests meet your brand in a dozen places before the food.
We design for all of them as one system, so the storefront, the app and the box on the doorstep tell the same story.
From first tasting to opening night.
Taste & territory
We map the concept, the guest, the price point and the competitors on your street — and define the position the brand has to own.
The identity
Naming, logo system, type, colour and the first real applications — menu, sign, cup — so you approve the brand where it actually lives.
The full system
Menus, packaging, delivery kit, uniforms, signage files and the website or QR menu — production-ready, multilingual, documented.
Roll out & scale
Launch assets, a social kit and guidelines so outlet two, three and the franchise all open on-brand — without a redesign.
The identity and the interfaces it lives on — one team.
Most agencies hand the logo to a separate web shop that reinterprets it. We don't. The people who design your brand also build your website, QR menu and ordering flow, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
Design and engineering at one table
Brand, menu, packaging, website and ordering — built by the same studio, so your digital looks exactly like your storefront.
Multilingual, not translated
All 15+ languages are designed together (Arabic and English included) from the first sketch — right for a Dubai, GCC and regional guest base.
Built to scale to a group
Master brand plus sub-brand rules and rollout guidelines, so a second outlet or a franchise stays consistent as you grow.
Before you reach out.
Let's build a restaurant brand that travels.
From the sign over the door to the box on the doorstep — one identity, multilingual, built in-house in Dubai.
