Zajazd Leśniczówka — restaurant and accommodation

Context

Zajazd Leśniczówka is a roadside restaurant and guesthouse located on the Kraków-Kielce route in Domiarki near Iwanowice. Running since 2009, a solid, well-tested place that's known in the area and has its regular group of travellers coming back for lunch or dinner.

Traditional Polish home cooking: sour rye soup, borscht, Hungarian-style potato pancakes, schnitzels, pierogi, fish fillets. Prices 10-42 PLN per dish. For drivers on the road, families on a weekend trip, tourists looking for authentic Polish food.

Scope of work

• Website redesign, a modern layout, high-quality photos of the meals
• Menu structure, a detailed menu with prices, readable for visitors
• Location information, Domiarki Parking, how to get there, opening hours

What makes the project stand out

In roadside dining, competition is fierce, every small town has a few restaurants by the road, each advertising "home cooking". What wins? Photos and specifics.

On the Zajazd Leśniczówka site, I focused on:

• High-quality meal photos, not stock, real photos from the kitchen
• Full menu with prices, the driver sees what and for how much, decides whether to stop
• Opening hours, specifically, no searching
• Phone and email in a visible place, table reservations, questions

Why photos matter

A hungry person on the road decides in 10 seconds whether to stop. See the soup in the photo, feel hungry, stop. See text without photos, drive on. Photos are the most underrated element of a restaurant website.

15+ years on the market

Zajazd has been running since 2009, has positive reviews, and is locally known. The site has to communicate that stability and experience, giving a new visitor the confidence that they're landing at a place that knows what it's doing.
