Creating an online store for the "Katpėdėlė" Lithuanian cuisine restaurant

About Katpėdėlė

Katpėdėlė is a restaurant that honours rich Lithuanian traditions. It is part of Amber Food Group, one of the largest restaurant chains in Lithuania, managing over 65 locations across the country. The group operates well-known brands such as Katpėdėlė, Charlie Pizza, Manami, La Crepe, and many others. With a strong presence in shopping centres, old towns, airports, and other key locations, Amber Food Group is a leader in the hospitality industry.

The Challenge

Before working with Caesar7, Katpėdėlė did not have an online store, limiting its ability to serve customers digitally. This lack of an e-commerce platform meant:

1. Customers could not browse the menu or order meals online.
2. There was no way to offer special pricing for loyalty cardholders.
3. The restaurant's promotions and special offers had limited visibility.
4. Job applications had to be managed manually without an easy online submission process.
5. Invoice requests had to be handled offline, making the process time-consuming.

Our Solution

Caesar7 developed a fully customised e-commerce platform tailored to Katpėdėlė's business needs. The project was built using the CZAR7® e-commerce system, known for its versatility, speed, and high level of customisation. The platform was designed to align with the restaurant's branding and provide a seamless user experience on all devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Key Features

1. Daily lunch menu: Customers can view the updated lunch menu for each day.
2. Full restaurant menu: The complete menu includes prices and special rates for Noriu Kortele loyalty cardholders.
3. Restaurant contacts & maps: Every Katpėdėlė location is listed with contact details and an interactive map.
4. Invoice request integration: Customers can request invoices directly through the platform.
5. Career application form: A dedicated section for job seekers to submit applications online.
6. Special offers section: A separate tab showcasing promotions and exclusive deals.
7. Feedback form: Customers can quickly provide feedback via an integrated contact form.

Implementation

The project included standard and custom integrations with external business management, courier, and accounting systems. This ensured smooth order processing, efficient financial management, and a better customer experience. In addition to technical development, Caesar7 provided consulting services to optimise Katpėdėlė’s digital strategy.

Results

With the new e-commerce platform, Katpėdėlė now has a strong online presence, making it easier for customers to engage with the brand, explore the menu, and take advantage of exclusive offers. The platform enhances operational efficiency, improves customer convenience, and supports the restaurant’s long-term digital growth.
