Kabab Cafe Market
The in-store Persian market, now a Shopify store.
Kabab Cafe’s shelves of Persian groceries used to be a Wayne walk-in only. I digitized the entire in-store inventory into Shopify, branded to match the restaurant, so customers can order for pickup or delivery — well beyond the people who live nearby.

Take the market off the shelf.
Kabab Cafe runs a small Persian market inside the restaurant in Wayne, Pennsylvania — rice, spices, teas, sweets, and the pantry staples regulars kept coming back for. The catch: you had to be in Wayne to buy any of it. The market only reached walk-ins.
So I digitized the entire in-store inventory into a Shopify store, Kabab Cafe Market, styled to match the restaurant’s brand and built mobile-first. Customers can now order for pickup or delivery, with free shipping over $100 — and there’s a clear path from kababcafe.com straight to the store. The market finally reaches people well beyond Wayne.
