Café Noel Roastery

Café Noel has roasted coffee for the Lebanese market since 1990 and operates three branches, in Aley, Bkhechtay and Bakaata. The website brings its full range online, from coffee and nuts to spices, oils and traditional products, so customers anywhere in Lebanon can browse, order for delivery and follow the status of every order. Behind the storefront, an admin back office runs the catalogue, merchandising, orders and monthly income. Delivered as a freelance project, independent of the IT role at Center Café Noel.

The roastery needed an online channel where customers across Lebanon could browse its complete range, place delivery orders and track them, and where staff could run products and orders without a developer.

• A server-rendered PHP storefront with customer accounts, cart and checkout
