The company
Copper runs eight rooms across London. The brand is a stack of freelancers' files. They want one system: menus, signage, hiring, and the site, made by someone in the room.
The team
You work with the creative director and a junior. Kitchens will have opinions. That is part of the brief.
First months
Audit what exists, lock a type and colour system, and reprint one room's menu before the contract feels theoretical.
