For the final review, I found a restaurant and website named Metro Diner. They have a very similar layout to the website our group and I are making, and we have the diner theme going on as well. We may not have the exact same food, but it could definitely be considered competition. To begin, the layout of the website when clicking on is organized with a slideshow, displaying photos talking about hiring, catering options, and upcoming events. As you scroll down, delicious pictures of food are shown, specifically specials, and a few customer reviews are placed. They all have five stars, and a thoughtful paragraph of their experience there. On to color, their theme seems to be dark grey, white, yellow, and green. I feel like it could work for their brand, but I think that’s kind of ugly. But if it’s their thing, it’s their thing. There is a lot of texture on site almost everywhere. At the top of the page, the grey appears to be a concrete type of background. The letters in the ads are neat, but have a scribbled look to them. Moving down, it shows a white wooden background, with paint strokes in a bright yellow, with green text on top. All of the food appears to be crispy, juicy, and fresh when examining the pictures. When looking at navigation, Metro Diner has a navi bar at the top of the page containing Home, Menus, Locations, Catering, About Us, and Careers. I feel like this is normal for a restaurant to have those. When in mobile, there is a little tab that can be pressed where all of that information is shown. When comparing this diner to our website, a lot of similarities can be found. But, ours I feel like will stand out more because of a few things. Our colors are brighter and cuter, we have delicious, unusual fusion foods that other places never would have. Our prices are cheap, too. I think we have a pretty strong competition with Metro Diner, but I feel like we have a stronger eatery.
