Stop losing diners to the place down the road with a website
Most Kiwis check a restaurant online before walking in. If all you've got is a Facebook page with last month's hours, you're turning away covers every single day.

Your best dish can't sell itself if nobody finds you
In New Zealand, over 80% of diners look up a restaurant, cafe, or bar online before deciding where to eat. They're checking your menu, your hours, your location — and if they can't find that in five seconds, they move on to the next option on Google Maps.
Too many Kiwi food and beverage businesses rely on a Facebook page, an outdated Zomato listing, or word of mouth. The problem is that Facebook buries your posts unless you pay, third-party platforms take a cut of every order, and word of mouth doesn't work on tourists or new locals who just moved to the neighbourhood.
Meanwhile, your competitors — even the ones with worse food — are showing up first on Google because they have a proper website. They're capturing reservations directly, building their own customer list, and not paying 30% commission to UberEats or Menulog for every delivery order. Every week without your own web presence is revenue you're handing to aggregators and competitors.
Food & Beverage × Build in a DayWhat you get in a day
Mobile-first website
Designed for how people actually browse — on their phones, usually hungry and in a hurry. Fast loading, beautiful food photography front and centre, clear calls to action.
Digital menu
An always-up-to-date menu that's easy to read on any device. No more PDFs that won't load on mobile. Seasonal changes? Update it in minutes.
Reservation or booking system
Direct table bookings without paying per-cover fees to third parties. Confirmation emails, reminders, and a simple backend you can manage from your phone.
Google Business integration
Connected to your Google Business profile so your hours, menu, and photos show up correctly in search and Maps — where most diners start their search.
Location & contact details
Embedded map, click-to-call, and clear directions. Includes parking info and public transport options — the small things that get people through the door.
Hosting & domain setup
We sort the technical side — domain, hosting, SSL, and email. You walk away at 5pm with a live website ready to take bookings tonight.
How the day works
Morning brief
A 30-minute call before service. Tell us about your food, your vibe, your regulars, and what makes your place worth visiting. Send us your best photos — phone shots are fine.
Design & build
We build your site while you prep for service. Your menu, your photos, your personality — we make it look as good as your food tastes.
Review between services
We send a preview link around midday. Check it on your phone during the gap between lunch and dinner. Tell us what to tweak — we turn it around in the afternoon.
Live by 5pm
By the time dinner service starts, your website is live. Bookings are flowing in, your Google listing is updated, and you own your online presence.
What changes after launch
Direct bookings
Customers book straight through your website — no more losing covers to third-party platforms or phone tag during busy service.
Found on Google
Your restaurant appears in local search results and Google Maps when people search for dining options in your area. More foot traffic, more covers.
Reduced platform fees
Every direct order or booking through your own site is money you keep instead of paying 15-30% commission to delivery aggregators.
Professional first impression
A polished website builds trust before a customer walks in. They arrive expecting quality — and they're more likely to leave a review after.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We set it up so updating your menu is as easy as editing a document. Add daily specials, swap seasonal dishes, or update prices in minutes — no technical skills needed.
Keep them — they still bring in orders. But your own website lets you build a direct relationship with customers, avoid per-order commissions, and collect email addresses for your own marketing. Many operators find that once they have a direct channel, they can gradually reduce their reliance on aggregators.
Especially for small cafes. You don't need a huge budget to show up on Google. A simple, well-built site with your menu, hours, and location is often the difference between a passing tourist walking past or walking in.
The Build in a Day service uses your existing photos — and phone photos are absolutely fine. If you want professional food photography, we can recommend NZ-based photographers and add those images later.
Absolutely. The site is built to grow with you. When you're ready for online ordering, catering forms, or loyalty programs, we can add those through our Grow or Scale services.
Domain and hosting run around $25-40/month. No lock-in contracts. We also offer Sant Cloud plans if you want ongoing support, seasonal updates, and menu management handled for you.
