Oporto New Menu Experience
Accelerated menu and experience transformation.
Problem

Problem
The decline of traditional food service channels has harmed both Oporto’s sales and brand, as more rushed, less engaged consumers defaulted to simpler sandwich options rather than the flame-grilled chicken that sits at the heart of Oporto’s DNA.
Oporto saw decreasing sales across the menu whilst feeling the cost of maintaining that fuller menu increasing. Therefore, they needed to adapt quickly to an increasingly mobile customer who spends less time engaged in the restaurant.

In a food service landscape dominated by the drive for convenience, efficiency and automation, Oporto had a unique opportunity to not just 'catch-up' to CX expectations, but stand apart with a menu experience that reflected their real, fresh and vibrant food offer.

Solution
Solution
Oporto needed to find a multi-channel menu system that was proven to increase sales of the fuller range of products beyond their signature ‘Bondi’ burger.
3 design sprints were held in working stores with customers and staff, trialling changes to digital menu boards, point-of-sale, online UX, environmental design and advertising.
