Punjab Palace Villepinte

About the Project

Punjab Palace, an Indian buffet restaurant in Villepinte (93420), needed a professional online presence to attract customers, handle table reservations and manage their Google reviews. The solution had to be built on a solid, scalable foundation to support future features such as online ordering, Stripe payments and additional languages.

Challenges

• No existing digital presence for the restaurant
• Bilingual website (French / English) required from scratch
• Non-technical staff needed to manage messages and reviews independently
• Strong local SEO requirements for restaurant discovery
• GDPR-compliant analytics without relying on third-party trackers
• Architecture must support future features without full rebuild

Solution

• Full Symfony 8 application built for long-term scalability (online ordering, Stripe, new languages)
• Bilingual FR/EN routing using Symfony Translator and hreflang
• Back-office: contact message management with read/replied status tracking
• Back-office: Google Reviews management (import, visibility, moderation)
• Contact and booking form with rate-limiting and email notifications
• Complete SEO setup: JSON-LD schema, OpenGraph, canonical, meta tags
• Self-hosted Matomo analytics — GDPR compliant, fully configured, opt-out widget included
• Performance-optimised assets: minified CSS/JS, LCP preload, forced reflow fixes

Results

• Live bilingual restaurant website at punjabpalace.fr
• Restaurant owner manages messages and reviews without developer help
• Strong local SEO foundation with structured data and hreflang
• GDPR-compliant analytics with full visitor privacy control
• Optimised Lighthouse performance score
• Codebase ready for online ordering and Stripe payment integration
