Ember & Vine is an upscale restaurant in Spring, Texas with an indoor cigar lounge, a wine room, a patio bar and a humidor, serving brunch, lunch and dinner.

The menu changes with the season. Without a link to Toast, every change would have to be made twice: once in Toast, then again on the website and the printed menus.

A website for each part of the venue, with a menu page that reads food, wine, cocktails and liquor straight from Toast through its API. Dishes, descriptions and prices show exactly what’s in Toast.

When the kitchen updates the menu in Toast, staff sign in to the site and print a fresh copy. Guests can book through OpenTable or Yelp and join the Toast loyalty program from any page.

  • Website design and build
  • A menu page that reads food, wine, cocktails and liquor from Toast
  • A printable menu for staff, signed in, whenever the menu changes
  • Pages for the restaurant, the cigar lounge, events and history
  • Reservations through OpenTable and Yelp, and Toast loyalty sign-up
  • Local SEO and restaurant schema

The menu is entered once, in Toast. The website and the printed menus follow on their own.
