Wepa Latin Cuisine

Wepa Latin Cuisine was undergoing a rebrand to highlight a refreshed culinary direction and needed a modern digital experience to match. While their Toast infrastructure was already in place for menu and ordering, their existing website no longer reflected the brand, nor did it support easy updates by the internal team. Chelo partnered with Wepa to redesign the website, modernize the user experience, and give the team full control over content and menu updates.

The Challenge

Wepa’s previous website was visually outdated and difficult to maintain, especially during an active rebrand.

Key challenges included:

  • A website experience that no longer matched the new brand direction
  • Limited flexibility for updating content and featured items
  • Difficulty showcasing menu highlights and signature dishes
  • Fragmented user flows for reservations, catering, gift cards, and online orders
  • No easy way for the team to manage updates without technical help

While Toast already handled core restaurant operations, the website needed to become a brand-forward, customer-friendly layer that tied everything together.

Our Approach

We focused on experience, flexibility, and operational ease.

UX Strategy & Website Redesign

We redesigned the website to feel:

  • Fresh, vibrant, and aligned with the new cuisine direction
  • Visually driven, highlighting food photography and video
  • Easy to navigate for both new and returning customers

The structure was simplified so users could quickly find what they need — whether that’s dining in, ordering online, or booking an event.

Toast Integration & Ordering Experience

Wepa’s Toast setup was already established, so instead of replacing it, we:

  • Integrated Toast seamlessly into the new website
  • Surfaced menu items and signature dishes clearly
  • Enabled gift card purchasing through Toast
  • Created clear pathways for dine-in, takeout, and catering

This ensured a smooth customer experience without disrupting existing operations.

Webflow Migration & CMS Control

To eliminate dependency on developers, we moved the site to Webflow and implemented a CMS-driven structure that allows Wepa to easily manage:

  • Menu highlights and featured dishes
  • Page content and announcements
  • Media, photos, and videos
  • Promotional sections tied to seasonal offerings

The team can now update content confidently without technical assistance.

Media, Reviews & Trust Signals

To strengthen credibility and engagement, we added:

  • Embedded food and space videos
  • Google Reviews to build trust with new customers
  • Visual storytelling that reflects the in-restaurant experience

These elements help bridge the gap between online discovery and in-person dining.

Before & After

Before

  • Outdated website design
  • Limited flexibility for content updates
  • Brand misalignment during rebrand
  • Fragmented user flows

After

  • A modern, brand-aligned website
  • Seamless Toast-powered ordering and gift cards
  • Clear paths for reservations, catering, rooftop bookings, and takeout
  • A CMS-enabled site the team can manage independently

The Outcome

  • A refreshed digital presence aligned with Wepa’s new brand direction
  • Improved customer experience across dining, ordering, and events
  • Easier content and menu updates for the internal team
  • Stronger trust signals through reviews and video
  • A flexible website that can evolve with seasonal offerings

Chelo helped Wepa turn their website into a functional extension of their restaurant — not just a static page.
