What we do
Everything the storefront needs, under one roof.
Two core services every restaurant gets, plus two optional ones for those who want the full look.
Care & Hosting
Hosting, maintenance, and a flat yearly fee. Edit it yourself or ask the Host. Either way, it gets done.
Brand & Identity
Identity, menu, and visual system for restaurants that need a look, not just a site.
Photo & Video
On-site photo and video of the space, the plates, and the people. Shot, edited, delivered.
Why Front of House
Your restaurant. Your website.
Your code to keep.
You own your website
Real custom code you keep for good. Leave whenever you want and we hand you the whole site, no hostage situation.
Pay once, not every month
Buy your custom site once, then a flat yearly Care fee keeps it hosted and current.
Edit it yourself, or just ask the Host
Change a price, swap a photo, ask a question. The Host drafts it, we check it, it goes live.
Built for AI search
We optimize so customers find you through AI answers (AEO), not Google alone.
Spec templates
See your restaurant's site in sixty seconds.
Four live spec sites, one for every kind of place. Type your restaurant's name, pick a vibe, and watch it become yours. No email, nothing saved or sent.
Built for AI search
Can AI find your restaurant?
When someone asks where to eat, your menu, location, hours, and reservation options should be easy to find and understand. We build that information into your site so search engines and AI assistants can read it.
Every Front of House build includes crawlable pages, clear restaurant information, and structured data that matches what guests see. These foundations support discovery. Search results vary, and no website company can guarantee a place in an AI answer.
Readable menus Menu information in page text, ready for guests and search.
Clear details Your hours, location, ordering, and reservation options.
Connected pages Useful links and a sitemap that help crawlers find your content.
Built for the phone in their hand
Make the first visit work on a phone.
A guest checking your menu on a phone should find the same clear information as someone on a laptop. We put menus, reservations, ordering, and directions within easy reach on a small screen.
- Thumb-ready menu, hours, and "order now"
- Loads fast on any connection
- Tap to call and tap for directions, built in
Menu to table Ordering, reservations, and directions within reach.
