Food has a natural power to make anyone happy, and Cum Laude, run by the Factory Club team of chefs, is best known for its delightful, gastronomical cuisine. Based in Belgium, where a constant tourist rush drives high demand for reservations, the restaurant often struggled with a disorganised guest list that was hard to manage. The goal of this restaurant website development project was to solve that with an online platform that lets guests reserve their seats in just a few minutes.

Acquaint Softtech delivered a creative, attention-to-detail website on WordPress, packed with practical features. The site offers a menu, table reservation, and place selection so guests can plan their visit quickly, along with an availability calendar, multi-language support, map integration, and an image gallery, all wrapped in a minimalist, easy-to-navigate design.

Cum Laude wanted a website that matched the style of a well-known Belgian restaurant while making reservations effortless. Their requirements focused on a minimalist design, online booking, and a multilingual, feature-rich experience.

• Responsive, minimalist design
• Table reservation with different options
• Online booking with availability calendar
• Multi-menu options
• Multi-language support (up to 3 languages)
• Integrated map and image gallery
• Easy contact-us details
• Social media integration
• Scroll-to-top for easy navigation

Cum Laude is a well-known and popular cuisine star from Belgium, so we had to design a website that matched their style while carrying some genuinely complex features. Between the image gallery, online booking with an availability calendar, map integration, and more, our biggest task was choosing a technology that could deliver both beauty and functionality at the same time, without slowing the site down.

Multi-language support added another layer of difficulty. Supporting up to three languages meant carefully handling issues like text expansion and contraction, where the same content takes up different space in different languages. This required a well-structured layout that would not break no matter which language a visitor chose.

As always, we began by deeply analysing the project and designing the website layout in Photoshop. Because the site carried complex features, we needed a technology that could keep the design beautiful and minimalist without compromising on functionality. Our developers chose Bootstrap and JavaScript, which let us incorporate many heavy features while keeping the website fast.

Integrating the online booking system was straightforward for our team, as we have delivered similar projects many times, so the effortless reservation flow came together smoothly. For the multi-language requirement, our developer took on the challenge of supporting up to three languages and built a well-structured layout that stays intact regardless of the content, carefully accounting for text expansion and contraction.

With the core tasks complete, we added all the extra features that enhance the user experience, including an easy contact-us page, social media integration, map integration, an image gallery, and small but helpful touches like scroll-to-top navigation. By partnering with Acquaint Softtech, Cum Laude took its business online, reached more customers, and turned a disorganised reservation process into a smooth, modern experience.
