Corridor, as built, is a fully designed front end: every page, every word, every image, styled and finished. What it doesn't have yet is a back end. Here's what that would look like, and what each piece is actually for.
The two systems that turn a beautiful site into a working front door for the business.
Swaps the mock confirmation on the Reservations page for a real booking engine, live table availability, waitlists, and automatic confirmation emails and texts.
A connected system like Toast, Square, or Owner.com so the menu page can take real orders, sync with the kitchen, and route pickup or delivery without a third-party app's commission.
Stripe or Square underneath ordering, gift cards, and membership billing, so money actually moves, not just intentions.
Connects the in-store point of sale to the website menu, so a sold-out pastry or a seasonal swap updates in both places at once.
Right now, every word on this site lives in the code. That's fine for a launch. It's not fine a year in.
A headless CMS or a platform like Webflow so staff can update the menu, add journal entries, and post events without calling a developer.
Eventbrite or a custom booking flow for the Community page, so ticketed workshops and dinners can actually sell seats.
Klaviyo or Mailchimp tied to the Journal and event calendar, so a new essay or an open workshop seat reaches people who already said they wanted to hear about it.
Real tracking on what pages people actually spend time on, plus the technical groundwork so the site shows up when someone searches for what Corridor offers.
Built for a single room. Here's what changes if there's ever more than one.
Real logins behind the Membership page, so tiers, guest passes, and after-hours invitations are tracked automatically instead of by memory.
A QR-code companion to the physical token, useful for online orders or reservations, without ever replacing the object itself in-store.
Sold directly through the site, redeemable in-store and online, a small but steady revenue line most cafés leave on the table.
A location switcher, separate hours and menus per address, if Corridor ever opens a second door.
Everything here is additive. None of it requires rebuilding what already exists, only building onto it.The Corridor Creative
