Brandcore.io × Partner Web & Growth Proposal

Prepared for Little Mexico · Van Nuys, Montebello, East Los Angeles

Your menu is the story. Your website should tell it.

Little Mexico's food is already why people come back. This proposal reads the public website the way a diner does, shows where it loses them, and offers a clickable concept built from the restaurant's own photos and dish names.

4 locations on /contact/ 10 public pages reviewed 18 reviews shown on the homepage 34.19° N · 118.45° W

Prepared by Luis Guzman, Client Success, Brandcore.io. A zero-obligation preview. Nothing is sent, booked or published from this page.

02 / Site audit · what the public site says

Six things the site says before the food does.

Every finding below comes from pages captured on the restaurant's public website. Nothing is inferred from a stranger's review.

High

Three different years of history.

The hero says "Authentic Mexican Food Since 2002". The homepage says "For over 20 years". The About page says "20+ Years of Experience" and "Serving Our Community for Over 7 Years". A diner cannot tell which is true.

SOURCE · / and /about-us/
High

Four addresses, one hours block.

The contact page lists Van Nuys, Montebello (two sites) and East Los Angeles, each with its own phone. The homepage shows one lunch block (Mon–Fri 10am–3pm, last order) and one dinner block (4pm–9:30pm, last order), and neither names a location.

SOURCE · /contact/ · HOMEPAGE HOURS
Medium

Ordering leaves the site.

"ORDER NOW" sits beside Grubhub and Doordash links. One homepage tracking link redirects to grubhub.com. The capture stopped at that domain, so the first-party path ends at another company's checkout.

SOURCE · HOMEPAGE NAV · ORDER LINK (not followed)
Medium

Three reservation paths, no explanation.

The homepage offers "Make a booking" and "Reserve Your Event". The contact page repeats "Reserve Your Event" beside "Email" and "Submit Form". Nothing captured says which path a table request uses.

SOURCE · / · /contact/
Medium

Big numbers with no source.

The About page shows "12.3K Customers Served" and "96% Happy Customers" with no survey, period or source. Unsourced figures are the first thing a careful buyer discounts.

SOURCE · /about-us/
Low

Housekeeping that shows.

The public author archive is titled with a Gmail address. A post at /14-clever-cooking-hacks-you-need-to-try/ carries the title "Super Bowl at Little Mexico". The About page pairs "Inicio" with English navigation labels.

03 / The gap

A Friday, 6:40 pm, one phone, four addresses.

An illustrative path, not measured traffic. No analytics were supplied, so no conversion figures appear here.

Storefront with the Little Mexico sign, from the site's Community page. Unedited; neighbouring businesses are in frame.

Observed on the site: 4 addresses · 1 shared hours block · 3 reservation paths · 2 third-party ordering apps.

Today, as the captured pages present it
  1. Homepage. "Welcome!", "Go to Menu" and "ORDER NOW" compete on the first screen.
  2. Order. The order button leaves for Grubhub or Doordash.
  3. Location. Pick one of four addresses with no hours beside each.
  4. Reserve. Choose between three paths with no explanation.
  5. Send. Guess which form reaches the right location.
Proposed, as shown in the concept
  1. One front door. Location, hours and direct phone on the first screen.
  2. One menu. Dishes filtered by category, with the restaurant's own photos.
  3. One request per location. Date, party size and time, sent as an unsent draft.

Concept only. Not connected to any ordering, booking or CRM system.

07 / Roadmap

3 days, 7 days, 60 days.

3 days

Confirm the facts.

  • The owner confirms which tenure claim is correct.
  • Each location names its own hours and direct phone.
  • The owner says what the 12.3K and 96% figures measure, or removes them.
  • One reservation path is chosen per use: table, event, catering.

Owner: Little Mexico · Brandcore: Luis Guzman

7 days

Build the front door.

  • Concept rebuilt on confirmed facts: four locations, per-location hours and menu groups.
  • The owner checks the dish list and every photo for accuracy.
  • The owner decides which third-party ordering links stay.

Launch day: day 7 is a staging review. Live changes wait for written approval.

60 days

Measure what the site can show.

  • Review replies, listing consistency and reservation requests by location.
  • Choose the next page: a location page, an event page or a catering page.
  • No revenue, ranking or review targets are promised.

Owner: Little Mexico · Brandcore: Luis Guzman

What we need from you

Confirmed hours for each location · a current menu or dish list with prices · approval for every photo, including the owner portrait · the order and reservation links that should stay.
