Reaching Customers

Sarpino’s has excellent food and is striving to deliver exceptional experience to their customers every time.  So we knew that all we had to do was utilize the digital medium to bring the masses to the table:

  1. Strategic Seo

    By targeting a specific combination of keywords we were able to position Sarpino’s as one of the top results in Google search.

  2. Find a Sarpino’s Near You

    A Google Maps integration has been implemented on GoSarpinos.com to help visitors find the closest pizzeria.

  3. Mailing Campaign

    A customized mailing campaign reaches out to Sarpino’s customers and sends them discount codes, promotions, and other incentives. Each location has it’s own list, specials, and is managed separately.

  4. Customer Feedback

    A no-censorship Customer Feedback section drives complaint resolution. All feedback is visible to visitors of the store page.

Converting Sales

Once we had the visitors on the newly built website we were able to funnel them into an online ordering process with conversion rates exceeding industry averages many times.

  1. Clean, Elegant UI

    We designed the website to be simple to use. We also built wireframes and mockups to help design the online ordering process.

  2. Google analytics integration

    From tracking e-commerce conversion rates, to understanding the efficiency of MailChimp campaigns, GA is an integrated tool in the Sarpino’s solution.

  3. A/B Testing

    We are constantly fine-tuning the layout of pages and performing A and B testing to guarantee that all changes we make are to the benefit of the customer.

  4. Integrated Online Ordering

    A closely integrated online ordering module allows customers to order directly from the store they’ve located on the website.

Managing Growth

The franchise is only as strong as the underlying systems and processes. To facilitate the management of a growing number of franchisees, DevBridge built a custom Franchise Management Intranet for Sarpino’s Pizza.

It
helps:
 

Train People

An online employee manual driven by our CMS, company training portal, and a recipe database have all been integrated into the Solution to help spread knowledge through the franchise.

 

Manage Inventory

From menu configuration, to marketing material design and printing, a franchisee is empowered to manage their own supply of printable marketing materials and has a variety of tools at their disposal.

 

Track Quality

The best indicator of quality in a restaurant is customer feedback. Feedback section on the website displays negative feedback until it is resolved and customer has been made happy.

 

Manage Vendors

We have integrated price comparison algorithms that help franchisees determine where to purchase their products. We also run monthly reports to verify accuracy of invoices from vendors.

Expanding to Mobile

The next natural step was for us to develop a mobile solution for Sarpino’s Pizza. We recommended a mobile website as opposed to an app to avoid unnecessary cost and overhead.

We used 1/3 of the budget that would have been needed for platform-specific applications and developed a jQuery Mobile based solution.

We are experiencing an even higher conversion rate for online ordering through the mobile website.
