The Short Order.

A five-minute weekly read for people who run restaurants. Three things, every issue, no filler — written by a human who spends all week looking at restaurant menus and websites.

Every issue, three courses

One tactic

Marketing you can run this week

A single, concrete move — not a strategy deck. The kind of thing you can try before Friday service and see whether it worked.

One insight

Menu & pricing, with math

Menu engineering in plain English: what to spotlight, what to reprice, what a 50-cent move actually does to your month.

One teardown

A real restaurant website, reviewed

Each week we walk through a real indie restaurant’s site — what’s working, what’s leaking customers, and how we’d fix it.
