Le Furibard
A monthly menu, a 214-bottle wine list, in season.
A Philly wine bar that needed a real reservation system, a real monthly menu workflow, and a wine list the sommelier could update without calling me. Built in two weeks. Shipped at 58 kilobytes.

Real reservations, real wine list, no templates.
The previous site was a Squarespace template with an OpenTable iframe glued on top. The menu was a PDF the chef updated monthly and the front-of-house remembered to upload. The wine list was a Google Doc shared by link. None of it loaded fast, and none of it survived contact with a busy Saturday.
The brief: a hand-built reservation flow that respects how the maître d' actually books a Friday service, a monthly menu workflow that doesn't require my involvement, and a wine list the sommelier can edit from a single file over morning coffee. Two weeks to ship. Under sixty kilobytes per page.
