Smashburger

Background

Smashburger, a renowned fast-casual burger chain, asked me to help revolutionizing their digital presence. At the time I was leading Digital for Jollibee North America. After the success I had with Jollibee, our parent company asked me to switch to the Shared Services team to oversee eCommerce for all North America Brands (Jollibee, Smashburger and eventually Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf). Smashburger needed a website that not only captured the essence of their brand but also enhanced user experience, streamlined online ordering, and boosted customer engagement.

Previous Setup

At the time, Smashburger had a basic WordPress marketing website that they linked out to a white label (templated) Olo ordering website.

Although this solution was functional, it was not ideal due to a lack of cohesive branding, a disjointed user experience and a less than ideal SEO setup.

Solution

I hired Golden Communications to help me redesign and rebuild the Smashburger website with specific requirements to meet Smashburger’s business needs:

  • Mobile First Design
  • Custom business layer connecting all eCommerce systems via API
    • eCommerce Platform
    • Loyalty Platform
    • Location Data Management
  • Complete CMS control
  • Ability to create new landing pages with no developer support
  • Optimized for SEO and page load speed
  • Performance tuned to scale with the business

GoldenComm knocked it out of the park with a custom website that met the business needs and continues to evolve with the brand.
