Guido's Premium Pizza website

The Challenge

With a dozen locations across Michigan, Guido's needed each store to promote its own offers, hours and events without the brand fragmenting into twelve different-looking websites.

The Solution

PISTn gives Guido's a multi-location system with a customizable local site per store, sitting under a rebuilt brand landing page designed around the menu — crust styles, a location finder and online ordering above the fold — rather than a generic restaurant template. Corporate holds the brand; each store controls its own local content.

The Results

All twelve locations publish under one consistent brand while each store runs its own specials and events, and online ordering and customer engagement have grown across the group.

How the system is put together

  • A menu-first brand page. Crust styles, a location finder and online ordering above the fold, instead of a generic restaurant template.
  • A local site for every store. Each kitchen runs its own specials, hours and events.
  • Brand control at corporate. The look and the menu presentation stay consistent across all twelve.

Why build around the menu

People visiting a pizza brand's website want three things: what is on the menu, where the nearest store is, and how to order. Putting all three above the fold means a hungry visitor is never more than a tap from an order. A generic template that opens with an about-us story makes them scroll for it.

More than the website

In Guido's own words, PISTn is responsible for basically their entire online presence, and handles their print and online marketing as well.

What another group can take from this

For a multi-location restaurant, consistency is the brand and the local store is the reason to visit. Let corporate own the look and the menu, and let each store promote its own nights, specials and events.
