Introduction

Introduction

DAO is a new Asian bistro in Warsaw. The founders came to us with a request to build the brand from the ground up — from naming and positioning to identity, packaging, and visual communication. The goal was to create a place that stands out from the typical “Asian food spots” but still feels local and approachable.

The main challenge was to rethink how an Asian food brand can look and feel without falling into clichés. We stayed away from obvious cultural references and focused on freshness, simplicity, and trust.

The brand had to speak to three very different audiences: young people, IT workers, and families with kids. It needed to be universal — and still recognizable.

DAO is about flavor, comfort, and food you come back to. At its core, the brand is simple and honest: no fluff, just good food, good people, and a good vibe.

The visual system adapts easily across menus, packaging, merch, and social — creating a consistent, living identity that people want to be part of. For us at Boltshift, this project was an opportunity to push the boundaries of what a modern logistics website can achieve.
