System Requirements Document

1. Introduction

This System Requirements Document (SRD) defines the requirements for the design and development of a restaurant website. The website will be an elegant, modern, visually engaging, and fully responsive digital presence that reflects the restaurant's brand identity, atmosphere, cuisine, and overall dining experience.

The website will be available in English and Spanish, built on Next.js as the primary frontend technology, with content managed through a headless CMS and delivered via CDN-based content delivery. The site will provide visitors with clear pathways to learn about the restaurant, explore the menu, discover Paella and Tapas offerings, view visual content, and make reservations.

The architecture will be structured to support future functionality such as online ordering without requiring a complete redesign.

2. System Overview

The system is a content-driven, multilingual restaurant website. Its core purpose is to establish a strong online presence, deliver a premium and visually engaging experience, showcase the restaurant's atmosphere and cuisine (with dedicated emphasis on Paella and Tapas), provide easy access to restaurant information, and encourage and enable reservations.

The standard implementation consists of a Next.js frontend, a headless CMS/content platform for editable content, and CDN-based content delivery. A custom application backend/database is not required for the standard website scope; it becomes necessary only if the client selects a custom reservation system or another backend-dependent feature (e.g., customer accounts, online ordering, custom payments).

A key open decision is the reservation approach: either a Custom Reservation System (requiring backend, database, and admin functionality) or a Third-Party Reservation Integration (e.g., OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, Tock). The client must select one before final development estimation and implementation.

6. Visuals, Colors and Theme

The visual direction is Warm modernism for a table worth gathering around: hospitable, crafted, Mediterranean, richly human, and gallery-like rather than a generic reservation platform. The generic indigo/blue-on-white SaaS template is forbidden.

Palette and surfaces: Use warm cream #F4EBDD as the dominant page ground (approximately 60%), paper-white #FFF9F0 for menu and reservation surfaces (approximately 25%), dark ink #29251F for readable body text, tomato red #9E3928 for primary reservation controls and section anchors, mustard #D39A27 for culinary highlights and editorial dividers, muted green #6E7666 for secondary detail, and deep teal #245A58 sparingly in photography frames, location details, and navigation states.
Typography: Use DM Serif Display in regular weight for large, close-set, sentence-case editorial headings and Jost for body copy, navigation, labels, and UI. Navigation and labels use medium-weight, widely tracked all-caps. Apply the 1.25 editorial scale: desktop 88/64/48/34/24/18/16 px; mobile 56/44/34/28/22/18/16 px.
Shape language: Use softly rounded rectangular panels with restrained 12px radii, oval food labels, circular crop windows, walnut-toned rules, and small mid-century sunburst or tile motifs as section markers. Avoid pill-heavy UI; buttons must feel like printed menu tabs.
Layout: Use a modular, asymmetrical 12-column desktop editorial grid with alternating image-led and text-led panels, broad cream gutters, horizontal menu-like rules, large food photography crops, and distinct colour-block chapters for Paella, Tapas, Menu, Gallery, and Visit. Collapse to a clear single-column mobile sequence while preserving persistent reservation access.
Imagery: Use warm natural-light imagery of overhead paella pans, hands sharing tapas, textured ceramic plates, wine pours, glowing evening interiors, exterior signage, and chef process moments. Crop generously and pair with restrained archival-style ingredient illustrations or tile-pattern accents. Do not use stock corporate diners, generic food cutouts, glossy app-device mockups, or diners looking at the camera.

7. Signature Design Concept

The signature design concept is a Warm Modernist dining invitation: a modular, story-driven restaurant experience that pairs practical menu, location, and reservation information with the joyful material warmth of paella, tapas, and shared dining. The homepage leads through restaurant introduction, featured cuisine, Paella and Tapas highlights, menu, atmosphere, location, opening hours, and social media, while clipped-corner reservation access remains persistent. Dedicated Paella and Tapas chapters, the printed-menu accordion, and the “Pass the Table” gallery ribbon make cuisine and hospitality the defining visual moments.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

Motion tempo: restrained.
Thesis: Input: a diner arrives seeking atmosphere, cuisine, and an easy booking path. Transformation: an editorial dining invitation assembles from bilingual type, tactile colour blocks, and a paella-pan crop. Outcome: the diner understands the restaurant’s character and can reserve immediately.
Focal subject and composed first frame: A full-viewport split composition on warm cream: the left seven columns hold an oversized two-line DM Serif Display restaurant statement, with its final word inside a tomato-red rectangular block; the right five columns show a close overhead saffron paella pan cropped as a graphic circle entering from the viewport edge. A narrow mustard vertical strip contains the EN / ES selector and current service note. A dark-ink reservation tab is visibly notched into the lower edge of the red headline block.
Visible layers: Cream editorial ground; headline and tomato-red word block; mustard language/service rail; paella photograph in a deep-teal frame treatment where needed; clipped-corner reservation tab; restrained walnut rules and tile/sunburst markers.
Opening and loop: On load, editorial rules and labels reveal once, the headline settles into place, and the paella image performs a slow, subtle pan. The contained loop uses only a gentle image pan and occasional near-imperceptible crossfade of approved hero photography; it must not autoplay video or distract from reading and booking.
Interaction: EN / ES markers switch language with immediate active-state feedback; the reservation tab responds immediately with tactile pressed, hover, focus, and loading states.
Responsive behavior: Preserve hierarchy in a single-column mobile stack; retain the language selector near the header and replace the desktop reservation tab with a full-width dark-ink bottom bar showing date, guests, and “Reserve a Table.”
Implementation and reduced motion: Implement as a 2D DOM/SVG/CSS composition using Motion for React (motion/react) or GSAP. With reduced-motion preference, show all hero content immediately and disable automatic pans, crossfades, and reveal animation.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The interaction model is editorial, tactile, and performance-conscious. Motion must feel like gentle film: slow image pans, subtle gallery crossfades, restrained reveals of rules and labels on section entry, and immediate tactile reservation-control responses. Motion must support food storytelling, Paella/Tapas presentation, gallery exploration, and page continuity without becoming distracting.

Use restrained scroll-based section reveals, subtle image transitions, and limited parallax only where it improves visual storytelling.
Use the menu accordion as the primary menu interaction; expanded rows reveal photography and details without hover-lift card-grid patterns.
Use interactive Paella, Tapas, and gallery treatments only with client-provided media and only where they preserve clear navigation, menu reading, and booking access.
Do not use autoplay video, distracting video transitions, excessive page-transition effects, or automatic motion that competes with reservation controls.
Reservation controls must provide immediate, clear pressed, hover, focus, validation, loading, and confirmation states.
Respect reduced-motion preferences with instant visibility, no automatic image motion, no parallax, and no animated transitions.
Implement all effects with lazy loading, responsive images, image compression, media optimization, deferred loading, efficient animation techniques, code splitting, CDN delivery, and optimized assets.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

Responsiveness: The website must be fully responsive and optimized for desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, adapting to different screen sizes while maintaining usability, visual quality, navigation, and accessibility.
Performance: The website must be optimized for fast loading and a smooth user experience, including image compression, responsive image delivery, lazy loading, code optimization, asset optimization, browser caching, CDN delivery, appropriate media formats, reduction of unnecessary third-party scripts, mobile performance optimization, Core Web Vitals-oriented improvements, and optimized animations. Actual performance scores may vary depending on third-party services, media assets, video content, hosting infrastructure, user device, network conditions, and browser.
SEO: The project must include basic technical SEO setup (SEO-friendly page structure, semantic HTML, page titles, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image alt text, search-engine-friendly URLs, mobile-friendly implementation, XML sitemap, robots.txt, basic structured data/schema, search engine indexing configuration, and basic performance optimization). Advanced SEO campaigns, ongoing content marketing, backlink building, keyword campaigns, and SEO consulting are outside the initial scope unless separately agreed.
Multilingual consistency: Both English and Spanish versions must maintain consistent layouts and functionality.
Accessibility and usability: Accessibility and usability considerations must be applied throughout design and development.
Security: SSL/HTTPS must be configured. If the Custom Reservation System is selected, security and data handling requirements apply to the backend services.
Scalability: The architecture must provide a scalable technical foundation for future digital growth, including future online ordering.
Content manageability: Supported content must be editable through the CMS without requiring a developer for every content change.

Page 28 of 30

10. Tech Stack

Frontend: Next.js, providing high-performance page rendering, SEO-friendly architecture, responsive website implementation, optimized image handling, flexible content integration, scalable frontend architecture, and support for advanced animations and interactive experiences.
Motion: Motion for React (motion/react) or GSAP for restrained 2D DOM/SVG/CSS hero, editorial reveal, gallery, and tactile interaction animation; motion must honor reduced-motion preferences.
Content Management: Headless CMS/content platform (no custom backend/database required for the standard website implementation). Candidate options:
- Option A – Sanity: Headless CMS with hosted content management and CDN-based content delivery. Free: $0/month; Growth: starting at approximately $15 per seat/month with additional usage-based charges. Includes content types and locales without separate per-locale charges, subject to plan/resource limits. Estimated ongoing third-party cost: $0–$15+/month.
- Option B – Storyblok: Headless CMS with visual editing capabilities and content delivery functionality. Starter: Free (basic CMS functionality, one included user, two locales, API requests, and traffic allowance); Growth: approximately $99/month. Estimated ongoing third-party cost: $0–$99+/month.
- Option C – Contentful: Headless CMS suitable for structured content management and content delivery. Free plan includes limited usage and is intended for learning/testing rather than commercial use; Lite plan listed at $300/month. Estimated ongoing third-party cost: from approximately $300/month for the currently listed Lite commercial plan.
CDN & Content Delivery: CDN-based content delivery for images, media assets, CMS content, static website assets, and optimized resources. The final CDN/content management solution will be selected based on expected traffic, number and size of media assets, content editing requirements, number of CMS users, language requirements, performance requirements, cost, and future scalability. The implementation may use a headless CMS with built-in or integrated CDN/content delivery capabilities.
Reservation Integration: Either a Custom Reservation System (requiring backend/API, database, reservation management logic, authentication/admin functionality where required, email/notification service, hosting/infrastructure for backend services, and security and data handling) or a Third-Party Reservation Integration (e.g., OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, Tock, or another suitable provider).
Google Maps Integration: Google Maps/location integration (interactive map, location marker, address display, directions functionality, mobile navigation integration).
Social Media Integration: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and other social platforms supplied by the client.
Hosting: Production hosting selected based on expected traffic, performance requirements, media usage, scalability, security, cost, technical requirements, and CMS/CDN requirements.
Domain & SSL: Domain registration/connection, DNS configuration, and SSL/HTTPS configuration.
Analytics: Google Analytics and Google Search Console, where applicable.
