Worldwide Wall Menus
This case is all about breaking incalculable projects down, and be well prepared. While I was an in-house design developer for JOE & THE JUICE, they needed me to be the supervisor of their first worldwide menu change.
It's a brand with +300 stores, 15 markets, 10 languages and 5 different product outputs. This means be needed a very lean structure on how to handle all information. Therefore I started the assignment by breaking it down, and define the creatively executional journey I was about to find a solution for.
The design needed to be able to contain so many different menu sizes, different products and different languages, but still fit for the store universe.
From the start, I knew that I was going to build an agile system, to automate the process, after we've determined the design of the new menu. I started the project by allying myself with an expert back-end'er in JOE & THE JUICE's supply chain department. Then I guided him in the direction of which I needed, as an output.
From a designers point-of-view, it can be a pain in the ass to have made one design, and then copy paste all 92 text boxes, 10 times to make print files ready for all markets. So I build this system where everything in InDesign is linked to an Excell cell-range. This made me able to make menus for a new market in a minute.
The back-end system is build so each department can control each value of the menu. Product Development (product recipes), Supply Chain (products in each market), Business Intelligence (prices), Market Managers (languages).
