Who we build for

Websites for restaurants

The menu is the website. Everything else is decoration around it.

Almost every restaurant site we look at has the menu as a photograph or a PDF, because that is what the printer sent back. Neither Google nor an assistant can read a single word inside either one.

What this site has to do

Put the menu on the page as text, with prices, so it can be read, quoted and searched.
Say your hours in a way that survives a holiday weekend and a season change.
Answer the three questions every caller asks: do you take reservations, is there parking, and can you feed a kid or a vegetarian.
Be right on a phone, because the person reading is standing on a sidewalk deciding between you and the place across the street.

What a customer asks an assistant, and what it needs from you

These are the questions people put to ChatGPT and Gemini about a business like yours. The right-hand column is the part that has to exist in text on a page before your name can come back as the answer.

What they ask	What the assistant needs
Who has the best reuben near Grand Haven?	Your menu as text, with the word reuben in it
Somewhere in Holland open late on a Sunday	Your Sunday hours, current
Gluten free dinner in Saugatuck	Your menu marked up, in words
Restaurant in Spring Lake that can seat twelve	A page saying you take large parties
Where can I eat outside on the water in Muskegon?	The patio, described in text

The pages you actually need

The menu: As text, with prices. This single page is most of your findability.
Hours: Including the seasonal ones, and including the days you are closed.
Drinks: A wine and beer list is its own set of searches and almost nobody publishes one as text.
Private events: The highest value enquiry a small restaurant gets, and usually the page that does not exist.
Finding you: Parking, the entrance, and whether the patio is open.

You do not have to work any of this out. We research the business and build the whole thing before you pay anything, then you say what is wrong with it.

Questions people ask

Do I have to type my whole menu out again?

No. Send the photo, the PDF, or point us at the one on your Facebook page and we read it. Prices and descriptions come across as written. If your menu already lives on an online ordering page we can read it from there.

My prices change. Is that a problem?

It is the normal case, which is why changes are included. Say what moved and it moves, and you see it before it goes live. Nobody bills you for a price change.

We also build for charter captains, marinas, on-water tow operators, shops and boutiques and trades and home services, on the Michigan lakeshore only.

See yours before you decide.

We build it first. If it is not right you say so, and if you do not want it you owe nothing.
