Project Details

Hackd transforms ideas, brands, and unfinished builds into fully realised digital ecosystems.

365 Coffee & Food

Project Overview

365 Coffee & Food came to Hackd Growth as a new Melbourne café brand with huge potential but zero digital foundation. They had a strong vision, a new store fit-out, and a competitive menu — but no brand presence, no website, no content, and no marketing engine.

Hackd stepped in from day one to build everything:
branding, website, imagery, UX, content creation, menu presentation, visual identity, and the entire online footprint.

What started as a blank slate became a clean, modern, conversion-driven café brand designed to drive foot traffic, repeat visits, online orders, and long-term customer loyalty.

This wasn’t just a website.
It was the creation of a brand from scratch.

The Challenge

When 365 Coffee & Food engaged Hackd Growth, the business had:

  • No brand identity

  • No logo direction

  • No colour system

  • No photography

  • No website

  • No menu presentation

  • No digital presence

  • No story, messaging, or positioning

  • No digital assets

  • No online ordering pipeline

  • No Google profile optimisation

  • No content for launch

The café was brand new, but digitally, it didn’t exist.

Hackd’s role:


Create a complete digital identity and launch the café into the market with a modern, polished, premium brand presence.

The Hackd Strategy

We approached the project as a full-stack brand creation and launch plan:

1. Build a premium brand identity

Logo, colours, fonts, photography, tone of voice, story — everything designed from scratch.

2. Design and build a clean, modern website

A conversion-focused landing experience showcasing menu, food, coffee, hours, location, catering, and the brand story.

3. Create a full content suite

Food photography, café imagery, team photos, interior shots, menu assets, banner designs, and social media-ready visuals.

4. Optimise local SEO for maximum discovery

Maps optimisation, SEO metadata, structured content, and keyword targeting for local food traffic.

5. Build digital workflows for ordering and engagement

Linking delivery platforms, online ordering, bookings, Google Maps, and social channels.

Every moving piece was engineered to give 365 Coffee & Food a strong opening and long-term digital foundation.
