A fast, accessible website, a Google profile that answers every question, and reservations and orders that come straight to you, without a delivery app’s commission. For independent restaurants, cafés, bars and inns, at fixed prices in dollars.

The food and the rooms are rarely the problem. For most guests, your Google listing is the first impression, and often the only one before they decide.
Missing or wrong hours, old photos, no reservation or order link, and reviews nobody has answered.
Hard to read on a phone, invisible to search, and unreadable for guests who use a screen reader.
Reservations depend on someone picking up. Orders go through delivery apps that take a commission on every order, even from regulars who already know your name.

Demo sites
Working demos for invented venues, one for each kind of place we build for. Book the table, order the coffee.
Each one is done once and handed over. Prices cover our work only; anything paid to others is listed under “You provide”.
For most restaurants, cafés and bars

The tools we set up and run for you
We work with these services on your behalf. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
Office parties, family dinners and New Year’s Eve are planned weeks ahead, mostly on a phone, mostly on Google Maps. A website that launches in January misses all of it.
Founding venue offer
15% off15% off any package for the first 2 venues that book by November 13.
Plus your holiday hours and a holiday-menu page added to Google and your site, free.
Booking means paying the 50% deposit by November 13. Build times count business days from the deposit, with Thanksgiving off. Google + Menu Setup goes live before Thanksgiving and websites by December 4. Website + Reservations & Ordering launches by mid-December, and Inn & Hotel Booking Website in late December. Book earlier and you launch earlier. We take a limited number of projects so each one launches on time.
Our founder grew up in his family’s restaurant, opened in 2009, and worked every role in it. Years in restaurant software followed, then places of his own. We build what we wanted when we were the ones running service.
More about us →Optional, after any package. Three months minimum, then month to month.
Start with the free audit. We’ll tell you which one fits, or if none does.
No. We are a remote studio, and we work with venues by email, text and video call. We schedule calls in your morning or after your service, in your time zone, and reply within one business day. Everything in these packages can be delivered remotely; photography is done by a local photographer we coordinate.
Usually not. Most POS systems come with their own online ordering page. We link to it from your website, Google profile and Instagram, and make sure it looks right on a phone. We do not build custom integrations into your POS.
Through your POS’s own ordering page or a low-cost ordering tool, linked from your site and your Google profile. You still pay card processing and any monthly fee the tool charges, but no marketplace commission on each order. Delivery apps typically take 15% to 30% of each delivery order, depending on the plan you are on.
No, and it should not. Those platforms bring guests you would not otherwise reach. The aim is that guests who already know your name, and your regulars, book and order with you directly.
Yes. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard most often used to judge website accessibility, and test with a keyboard and a screen reader before launch. Restaurants are often the target of website accessibility lawsuits, so it is worth doing properly. It is a standard we build to, not a legal guarantee, and we do not give legal advice.
You do. The domain is registered in your name and paid by you, usually under $25 a year. If you leave, you keep the domain, the site files, your Google profile and every account we set up.
By card or bank transfer, in US dollars, against a written invoice. One-off packages are paid half at the start and half at launch; monthly plans are paid in advance. Sales tax rules for web services differ by state, so we confirm what applies on your quote before you pay anything.
Send the form and we do the looking. Or book a 15-minute call, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s worth doing, and what isn’t.
