A renowned restaurant celebrated for satisfying taste buds with authentic Indian flavours, started its culinary journey on March 27, 2003, in Brampton, Ontario. It has since expanded its reach, now also catering to the prime locations of Mississauga and Markham.
When Snappy began its partnership with India’s Taste, the restaurant group was managing three busy locations in the Greater Toronto Area. Known for its authentic all-day Indian buffet, the brand had a loyal customer base but was missing opportunities to capture a growing online audience. The online ordering process relied on outdated tools that were not fully integrated with the restaurant’s operations. This caused friction in the customer journey, with occasional missed orders, slower processing, and increased manual effort from staff to reconcile and fulfill incoming requests.
The restaurant’s website presented another challenge. While functional, it lacked the design impact and mobile optimization required to compete in an increasingly digital-first market. Customers searching for buffet options or Indian cuisine in the GTA were not always given a compelling visual or navigational experience that reflected the quality and vibrancy of the in-person dining experience. This disconnect between the restaurant’s offline reputation and online presence meant that potential guests were less likely to order or visit.
On the marketing side, social media efforts were inconsistent and largely reactive. Posts were irregular, there was no clear content strategy, and promotional campaigns lacked targeting. In a competitive market with dozens of local and national food brands vying for attention, India’s Taste risked losing digital visibility and customer engagement. The lack of a cohesive online marketing plan limited the brand’s reach, reduced opportunities to attract new diners, and left untapped revenue potential from delivery and takeout customers.
Snappy’s approach began with a complete overhaul of India’s Taste’s digital ordering experience. A fully integrated online ordering platform was implemented, seamlessly connecting with the restaurant’s website. This eliminated the need for manual order entry, reduced the risk of errors, and sped up fulfillment times. The improved interface made it easier for customers to place orders for takeout and delivery, while backend automation freed up staff to focus on service and operations.
The next step was a full website redesign. Snappy created a visually rich, mobile-optimized site that reflected the energy and authenticity of India’s Taste’s buffet experience. The site included high-quality food photography, intuitive navigation, and fast-loading pages to cater to on-the-go customers. Search engine optimization best practices were also incorporated, ensuring the restaurant ranked higher for relevant keywords in the Greater Toronto Area, increasing organic traffic and online visibility.
On the marketing front, Snappy developed a structured social media strategy designed to maintain consistent visibility and engagement. This included a posting calendar, professional food photography, targeted ad campaigns, and seasonal promotions to keep customers engaged year-round. Campaigns were optimized for both reach and conversion, ensuring that content not only generated interest but also drove measurable increases in online orders and in-person visits. The marketing strategy also included community engagement, responding promptly to customer comments, reviews, and messages to foster stronger loyalty.
