Street-food website + Hub · Chorley Meld

Street food from two kitchens near Chorley: Cuckoo, at The Nest food yard, and Rivington, at Rivington Brewing Co. One website for both, and a Hub that Meld’s team run from their phones.

The Meld Hub.

Meld’s own people sign in to the Hub on their phones and change the website themselves. One sign-in covers both kitchens.

  1. Menus, kitchen by kitchen

    Choose Cuckoo or Rivington, then change a dish’s name, description or price, add or remove dishes, put them in order, or switch one off when it sells out.

    The Meld Hub’s Menus screen on a phone: the Cuckoo and Rivington buttons, the Cuckoo menu with a cheeseburger switched off, and Publish

  2. Specials

    A special is set once, shown at one kitchen or both, and switched off when it has gone.

    The Meld Hub’s Specials board on a phone: Add special, and an empty board

  3. What’s on

    Each month’s poster goes up from a photo or a PDF, up to three months ahead, and comes off when its month is over. Rivington’s events are listed with their date and times.

    The Meld Hub’s What’s on screen on a phone: Cuckoo’s monthly line-ups, with the October poster, Replace and its description

  4. Photos

    The photographs on the front page and each kitchen’s page: add new ones from the phone, describe them, put them in order, or switch one off without losing it.

  5. Serving times

    Each kitchen’s week, day by day. A change reaches the front page’s tiles and the kitchen’s own page together.

    The Meld Hub’s Serving times screen on a phone: Cuckoo’s week, serving Friday, Saturday and Sunday

  6. Printed menus

    Each kitchen’s A4 menu in its own style, made from the current menu, with or without the specials, to print or save as a PDF.

    The Meld Hub’s Printed menus screen on a phone: Include the specials, and the top of Cuckoo’s A4 menu

  7. One tap to publish

    Changes are saved as they are made and stay off the website until someone taps Publish. One tap puts them live, and the Hub says so once they are.

    The Meld Hub on a phone after a tap on Publish: Published. Your changes are live on the website.

What the site does.

  1. Two kitchens, one front page

    The front page is Meld’s logo and a tile for each kitchen, saying when it next serves food and leading to its menu.

  2. A page for each kitchen

    Cuckoo and Rivington each have a page of their own: photograph, menu, what’s on, serving times and directions. A switch at the top moves between the two.

  3. One list per menu

    Each kitchen’s menu is one plain list. Veggie, Vegan and Gluten free buttons show only those dishes, and one button sends the menu to the group chat.

  4. What’s on, month by month

    Cuckoo’s What’s on is the venue’s monthly posters in a row you can swipe, each one opening full size, with the listings as text too. A month comes off by itself when it is over.

    Cuckoo’s What’s on on a phone: the October and November line-up posters in a row, with October line-up, full size and The line-ups as text

  5. Serving times, a day to a line

    Each kitchen’s card gives its address, when it next serves, its times a day to a line, the extra days that come round every few weeks, and directions. They are Meld’s food times, never the venue’s opening hours.

    Rivington’s visit card on a phone: the address, the next serving time, Friday to Sunday’s times, the extra days every third week, and Directions

  6. Food photographs that glide

    Rows of Meld’s own food photographs glide slowly along the front page and each kitchen’s page. A press stops them, and they can be swiped.
