JD Wetherspoon Simplifies Menu Management with Automated Day-Based Displays

By introducing PersonalizeWP, Filter empowered JD Wetherspoon to automate their menu displays, save time, and focus on delivering value to their customers.

Personalisation

Managing a diverse menu offering is no small feat for a company with the scale and reach of JD Wetherspoon. As their long-term digital partner, our team at Filter recognised the opportunity to streamline their menu management process by leveraging PersonalizeWP, a WordPress personalisation plugin. This case study explores how automating day-based menu displays transformed their website, saving time, enhancing the user experience and driving higher engagement through efficient, tailored content delivery.

The Challenge

Our team understood the importance of showcasing the wide variety of special Club menus, such as “Steak Club” on Tuesdays and “Curry Club” on Thursdays. These menus are a staple part of the JD Wetherspoon brand identity, offering exclusive deals and curated meal selections that draw in customers.

The main challenge was ensuring that visitors to the Food and Drink page saw the correct menu for the day, without requiring manual updates.

Previously, their team had to invest time rearranging content or creating new templates weekly, a process that was both time-consuming and prone to errors. JD Wetherspoon needed a reliable, automated solution to improve efficiency, enhance the user experience, and optimise conversion rates.

The Solution

Our team introduced JD Wetherspoon to PersonalizeWP, an innovative WordPress personalisation plugin, and implemented the Day of the Week display condition. This feature allowed the Club menus to be displayed prominently on the correct days.

Usually, these menus were located lower on the Food and Drink page. Now, with the automation provided by PersonalizeWP, the menus dynamically shift to a prime position on the designated days (e.g., “Steak Club” shows on Tuesdays).

This automation not only improved the site’s usability but also improved their conversion rate optimisation (CRO) by ensuring visitors were immediately presented with the most relevant and appealing offers.
