The challenge

Capital Digital (Chilango, Travesías) wanted a guide unlike rankings: personal recommendations from people who know how to eat, useful for choosing by occasion. It needed a platform with its own identity, easy for the editorial team to feed and designed for mobile.

The solution

We designed the digital identity and built the platform: restaurant pages with reviews per Amigo RICO, lists by situation (a Wednesday, a Saturday, with your parents or on a date), exploration by neighborhood, search, an English version and an editorial panel to publish without depending on developers.
