A gastronomic experience

Following the success of wagamama’s main website launch, which makes the food the hero, Codehouse has helped wagamama breathe new life into its ecommerce website.

Take-out, wagamama’s updated ecommerce Sitecore website, retains the impactful and tantalising look and feel of its sister site. Like the main site, the user journey has been refined to achieve more customers moving through to make bigger orders.

Streamlining the journey

Using the guest login reduces the transaction time, which has dramatically reduced the drop off rate by 13%. To manage cart abandonment email addresses are collected. When a shopping cart is abandoned, a triggered email reminds the customer of this with a prompt for them to continue shopping.

Registered/logged in users can also view their favourite food, last orders and most commonly selected products, with the added option of re-ordering previous take-outs. Responsiveness too is supported on mobile devices ensuring that the visitor experience isn’t compromised.

Under the bonnet

There are many clever features that make take-out perform as well as it does. Google Maps integrates with wagamama’s ecommerce site. This allows visitors to see the nearest wagamama restaurants based on their location. Maps, directions and distance calculators to other wagamama restaurants further afield also feature.

take-out has extensive product catalogues. Complex integration between Sitecore and wagamama’s external retail system, Micros, ensures product catalogues are coordinated and reflected on the site. There are also other integration points to WorldPay and Authorize.net, which handle payments from UK and USA customers respectively.

Sitecore champions

Ensuring the smooth transition from the outgoing CMS, TeamSite, to Sitecore 8.1 was vital. We not only held a series of in-depth tailored Sitecore training sessions, we also provided a Sitecore User Guide and valuable content support in the build up to go-live and beyond. At Codehouse, we value the importance of Sitecore champions. As more training and content support was delivered, it became evident that The AA’s content teams began to fully embrace Sitecore. This was a huge plus, and a relief - because content teams are integral to all website projects. It was refreshing to see not one, but many Sitecore champions who supported, and continue to support other team members. Of course, our team is always available to provide support.

It's a fantastic looking site that is already showing promising results, with an increase in average order value over the old site, and a decrease in telephone orders/shift to online orders.
