Rum & Jam – Wix Restaurant Website Case Study – Cyprus
Rum & Jam is a restaurant and cocktail bar in Cyprus offering a curated dining experience centred around food, cocktails and atmosphere. The project focused on creating a website that encourages guests to explore the venue, browse the menu digitally and make reservations more efficiently. Built on Wix, the website combines responsive design, information architecture, online menu management, SEO foundations and AI-ready content to improve the customer experience both before and during a visit.
Objective
Rum & Jam required a website that reflected the restaurant's atmosphere while making it easier for customers to browse the menu, discover the venue and make reservations. A key objective was to replace static menu PDFs with a dynamic digital menu that staff could update easily and customers could access instantly while dining.

Strategic Approach
Website UX Strategy
The website was designed around the way restaurant customers typically interact with hospitality businesses. Whether visitors are discovering Rum & Jam for the first time or are already seated at the restaurant, the experience prioritises quick access to the menu, reservations and essential venue information.
Information Architecture Strategy
Content was organised into clear sections including the restaurant, menus, reservations, gallery and contact information. This structure allows visitors to navigate quickly while helping search engines understand the relationship between the venue, its offerings and customer services.
Digital Menu Strategy
Instead of relying on static PDF menus, the website integrates the Wix Restaurants Menus app. This allows the restaurant team to update dishes, drinks, prices and seasonal specials from a single management interface without requiring website edits.
For customers, the menu becomes significantly easier to browse on mobile devices while dining, creating a more convenient and interactive experience than downloading or zooming into PDF files.
Conversion Strategy
Reservations remain accessible throughout the website, while menu browsing naturally encourages visitors to continue towards booking a table. The menu itself becomes part of the conversion journey rather than simply an informational page.
Mobile Optimization Strategy
The majority of visitors access restaurant websites from mobile devices, particularly while searching for places to eat or while already at the venue. Responsive layouts and the integrated digital menu ensure fast browsing, simplified navigation and an improved dining experience.

The redesigned website provides Rum & Jam with a significantly more efficient way to manage its food and beverage offerings while improving the customer experience.
Replacing static menu documents with the Wix Restaurants Menus application allows staff to maintain menus without redesigning website pages, making seasonal changes and price updates considerably easier.
For guests, particularly those already dining at the restaurant, the responsive digital menu offers a faster and more intuitive browsing experience that integrates naturally with the overall website journey.
Key Takeaway
Restaurant websites perform more effectively when menus function as a dynamic operational system rather than downloadable documents. Integrating live menu management improves both internal efficiency and the customer experience while creating a scalable foundation for future updates.
