PRIMARY RESTAURANT RESEARCH

In order to get an idea of how local restaurants have been branded. I had a walk round leeds collecting menu's and taking photo's of the interior and exterior. This helped me to understand what kind of image the restaurants were going for. You could see how the theme ran through out with certain restaurants.
