01 The vision

One brand. One connected experience. Built step by step.

Today

Your customers already find you in many places. Each one works, but none of them is fully yours.

  • Website
  • Square
  • Bite
  • Uber Eats
  • DoorDash
  • QR menus

Step by step

A stronger presence first. Then your own app, direct orders, rewards for regulars and a kitchen that sees everything in one place.

  • Website & menu
  • Your own app
  • Direct orders
  • Rewards
  • Connected kitchen
  • Insights

Nothing here is built yet, and nothing beyond step one is committed today. Each stage is planned, priced and approved on its own.

02 Step one

Start with the website.

This is where we'd like to begin. A website and digital menu for both restaurants, designed for the phone in your customer's hand and working alongside the systems you already run.

Option A

Website & Digital Menu

A$1,290one-off

A$80/month from launch

  • A custom website for both restaurants
  • Responsive on every phone, tablet and laptop
  • Your digital menu, redesigned
  • Your current QR codes reused, where technically possible
  • Rosebery and North Curl Curl pages
  • Opening hours, contact details and maps
  • Basic local SEO
  • Access to your current ordering flow through Bite and Square, as their integration allows

Option B

Website, Digital Menu & Google Reviews

A$1,369.90one-off

A$80/month from launch

  • Everything in Option A, plus:
  • Two NFC / QR review stands, one for each restaurant
  • Google review links set up for both locations

The difference is the estimated cost of the two stands (A$39.95 each), with no MACAN margin. If the supplier's price or shipping changes, we'll confirm with you before ordering.

At this stage the website sits alongside Bite and Square. It doesn't replace them.

03 The path

Every black belt started as a white belt.

Your menu already runs from White Belt to Black Belt. Your platform can grow the same way: five stages, each with its own scope, price and approval. You decide when, or whether, to take the next one.

  1. White belt · Stage 01

    Website & Digital Presence

    Website, digital menu, both locations and access to your current ordering flow. Detailed in step one above.

    • Order panel, managed per location
    • Menu and availability control
    • Operational statuses and kitchen integration
    • Square or your chosen gateway, subject to feasibility
    • Groundwork to rely less on Bite. Any replacement happens only after it's proven in your operation.

Prices are a preliminary proposal. Each stage's final scope is agreed in writing before it starts, and nothing after step one is a package you're signing up for today.

Connections with Uber Eats, DoorDash and other systems can be explored separately, depending on permissions, APIs and feasibility.

04 Stage 02, up close

Your own app. On the App Store and Google Play.

A real ordering app with Sensei Sushi on the icon. The same idea as the McDonald's, Domino's or Burger King apps, designed around your menu and your two restaurants.

  • Not a website in a wrapper.
  • Not a catalogue with a link out.
  • A native app with its own ordering journey, from choosing a store to collecting the order.
Prototype home screen: Japanese technique, Brazilian soul, with a Start your order button Prototype menu screen listing the Belt Combos Prototype product screen for the White Belt combo with an Add to order button Prototype cart screen with subtotal and total Prototype checkout screen choosing pickup from Rosebery or North Curl Curl

Early prototype screens. Illustrative photos and demo prices.

What the app is planned to include

  • Store selection
  • Full menu
  • Product customisation
  • Cart
  • Real orders in the app
  • Payment through your chosen gateway
  • Order tracking
  • Notifications
  • Order history
  • One-tap reorder
  • Customer accounts
  • Basic promo codes
  • Ready for rewards and loyalty

Includes the backend for orders and a basic operations panel to receive them and update their status, planned around how both restaurants actually run.

Publishing depends on Apple and Google approval. The store accounts should ideally be in Sensei Sushi's name, and the platforms' own fees are paid to them directly.

05 A possibility

Your own ordering channel. Your own possibilities.

When orders come through your own app, you set the rules. The platform can be built to support a configurable order or service fee that you can switch on, change or switch off.

Any fee would depend on a feasibility review, clear display to customers, the applicable law and the payment gateway's terms. It's an order fee, not a card surcharge.

potential gross service fees for the period

20 orders × A$2.00 × 30 days

An illustration only, not a forecast of orders or profit. Gross amounts, before payment processing and other costs. How any fee is applied and who receives it would be set out in the commercial terms you approve.

Built with your busiest hours in mind.

You told us the site saw around 6,000 visits in seven days, and that it struggles at peak times, especially around 7 pm on Fridays. That's exactly the moment we design for.

  • Fast on every phone

    Lean pages and optimised images, so the menu opens quickly on mobile data.

  • Steady at peak

    The production setup is sized and load-tested against your real volume before launch.

  • Monitored

    Uptime checks, error tracking and alerts, so problems are noticed early, not reported by customers.

  • Room to grow

    Infrastructure that scales with each stage, as orders move into your own channels.

We'll look into what's behind the current slowdowns rather than guess, and size everything to how your restaurants actually operate.

What the monthly fee covers.

Included

  • Hosting sized to the stage you're on
  • Technical monitoring
  • SSL certificates and security
  • Backups
  • Fixes when something isn't working
  • Necessary technical updates
  • Support during business hours, on agreed terms

Not included automatically

  • New features or redesigns
  • Equipment
  • Third-party subscriptions
  • Payment gateway fees
  • App store fees
  • Advertising spend
  • Integrations outside the agreed scope

Infrastructure costs for the later stages will be confirmed as each stage is scoped. The monthly fee covers a defined level of hosting, not unlimited infrastructure.

Optional · separate from the stages

Local Ads Advisory

A$150/month

  • Review of your current campaigns
  • Budget guidance
  • Local targeting recommendations
  • A check-in every two weeks
  • Monthly results summary
  • Focused on both restaurants

Ad spend is paid separately by Sensei Sushi. It doesn't include full day-to-day campaign management, recurring video production or guaranteed results.
