What Was Happening Before the Project?
AURA Mayfair possessed world-class Michelin-calibre culinary mastery, but their static booking site suffered from a 78% bounce rate and failed to convey the sensory drama of their multi-course tasting experience. High-net-worth guests and international travellers were abandoning the reservation journey before selecting a date.
Actions Taken & Strategic Services Delivered
- 1Architected an immersive digital experience featuring an interactive Three.js 3D golden culinary sculpture that reacts dynamically to guest cursor movements.
- 2Designed intuitive interactive menu curation with real-time pairing notes across Tasting, Mains, and Cellar collections.
- 3Engineered a frictionless 2-step VIP table reservation flow with party-size selector and calendar slot locking, reducing booking time from 3.2 minutes to 38 seconds.
- 4Implemented local SEO and structured schema markup targeting high-intent London fine dining queries.
