Tender Gourmet Butchery: an online butcher built to grow

Tender Gourmet Butchery is one of Australia’s most awarded butchers, based in Sydney. We rebuilt their store on WooCommerce, added click and collect, SMS and email, and keep working with them on marketing, analytics and optimisation.

The problem

For a premium butcher, listing products online is the easy part.
The store has to show the quality of the meat, build trust, make ordering easy and bring customers back.

  • A basic online store

    The old store didn’t reflect the quality of the product or make ordering easy on a phone.

  • Orders the shop can run

    Pickup and delivery had to fit how the shop actually works, with clear days and times.

  • Repeat customers

    They needed a way to keep customers informed and bring them back, not one-off sales.

What we built

A WooCommerce store with click and collect, SMS, email automation and analytics, backed by ongoing growth work.

A premium store, designed mobile first

We designed and built a custom WooCommerce store that presents the range the way the shop does.

Browsing, product pages and checkout are designed for phones first.

Categories, best sellers, specials and meat packs are easy to find.

Built and tuned for speed.

Products and checkout

Product pages and secure checkout

Customers choose how their meat is prepared and the weight they want, then pay the way they like.

Products like eye fillet can be ordered whole or sliced, in different weights.

Stripe, PayPal and Afterpay at checkout.

Click and collect

Click and collect and local delivery

Customers choose a pickup day and time before checkout, so the shop gets orders it can actually run.

Customers pick a day and a 30 minute collection window at Hornsby.

Delivery across Sydney, the Central Coast and Wollongong, with delivery days set by area.

Less back and forth for the counter team.

SMS

SMS updates with TopSMS

Customers get texts from WooCommerce as their order moves along, sent through TopSMS, our SMS plugin.

A text when the order is confirmed and as its status changes.

Click and collect and delivery messages, so customers know when to come in or expect their order.

The same channel can carry promotional SMS campaigns.

Customers are grouped by what and when they buy.

A welcome series and abandoned cart emails.

Seasonal and promotional campaigns, timed with SMS.
