Le Jacana Restaurant Lounge

About the client

Le Jacana Restaurant Lounge, on Avenue Foé in Yaoundé (on the new Omnisport road, on the way down to SODEPA), combines a restaurant and a night-time lounge under the motto “Manger – Boire – Partager”. It offers catering and events (weddings, birthdays, seminars, business lunches and dinners), live music, comedy shows and karaoke, with room for more than 250 guests and delivery available.

What I designed

• A presentation flyer listing the services, the capacity, the opening hours and the contacts
• Weekly specials posters: Sunday beignets-haricot-bouillie plus a beer, and Sunday hot bouillon plus a beer at 3,500 FCFA
• The Friday and Saturday grill special plus a beer at 5,000 FCFA
• Square social media versions

The design choices

For a restaurant, the dish sells the post. Each poster gives most of its space to a large, close-up photo of the food, shot from above or very close, with a cold beer standing at the edge of the frame. The offer is a short, bold headline (“Dimanche”, “Spéciale grillade”) and the price sits in a solid red or orange block that can be read at a glance in a feed.

Each special has its own colour (warm orange for the beignets, deep red for the bouillon, black with fire for the grill), but the venue’s logo, the music line (Bikutsi, Makossa, Mangambeu, Bend-Skin) and the contact footer stay in the same place on every poster, so a regular recognises Le Jacana before reading the name.

Where it works

The weekly posters are made for the lounge’s social media pages and WhatsApp, and the presentation flyer answers the questions of clients who want to book an event.
