Founder experience

Building on Sherwood.

Shani opened Rikshaw in Sherwood in 2018. His work covered the concept, recipes, menu, design and marketing. The teams on site ran service.

For the Derby launch in July 2020, the team drew on what customers had ordered in Nottingham. They reworked dishes and removed slow sellers to keep the menu focused. They refreshed the branding and shopfront, expanded social media activity and launched with a campaign built on Sherwood’s reputation.
