Brand Tone

Sophisticated & Elegant, Approachable & Welcoming, Quality-Conscious & Fresh, Modern American with a Classic Nod

Brand Values

• •Quality & Freshness: Prioritizing high-quality, locally sourced, seasonal ingredients is a core message.
• •Culinary Excellence: Focus on 'unique culinary creations' and the expertise of the Executive Chef.
• •Ambiance & Experience: Creating a 'beautifully designed,' 'charming,' and 'relaxing space' for diners is important.
• •Community Connection: Implied through sourcing from local markets like Union Square Green Market.
• •Understated Sophistication: The branding leans towards an elegant but not overly pretentious feel.

Best Practices

• •Emphasize Freshness and Quality: Consistently use words like 'fresh,' 'seasonal,' 'locally sourced,' 'market-to-table,' and 'quality ingredients' to reinforce this core value.
• •Maintain an Elegant yet Approachable Voice: Balance sophisticated language with warm, inviting phrases. Avoid overly casual slang or, conversely, overly stiff or academic language. Think 'refined but friendly.'
• •Highlight the Culinary Craft: Mention the chef, the care in preparation, and the artistry of the dishes. Use descriptive language that appeals to the senses (taste, sight, smell).
• •Connect to the Location & Vibe: Reference Greenwich Village, the unique ambiance, and the experience of dining at Cafe Society (e.g., 'charming,' 'vibrant,' 'relaxing').
• •Be Visually Cohesive: Ensure that the tone of the copy is matched by the quality and style of photography and visual branding across all platforms. The elegance conveyed in words should be mirrored in images.
