Built for independent restaurants by someone who ran one for 30 years — no agency prices, no AI slop. $149 a month, live in a day, and a real human who answers when you text.
- 30 years behind the counter
- $149/mo flat — 60–70% under the big platforms
- Nashua, NH — one human you can text
You opened a restaurant, not a web design shop.
Your website is five years old — or it’s just a Facebook page.
The big platforms want $249–499 a month, minimum, forever.
DIY builders are “easy” the way a Saturday double is easy.
Here’s the fix.
We build you a modern site and then we run it. New menu? Text it over — it’s live within 24 hours. New photos? Same. Google Business profile? Handled. You cook; we keep the internet looking like you deserve it.
Flat $149 a month. No AI-generated anything. And when you reach out, a person answers — the same person, every time.

How it worksThe math, out in the open.
Owner.com and Popmenu are fine products built for bigger operations. If you’re running one great room, you shouldn’t pay enterprise rent for a website.
