They look you up first. Give them something worth finding.
We build the website. One page that opens fast on a phone, shows your menu without a download, and puts call and directions where a hungry person can hit them with a thumb. The chat that takes pickup orders comes with it.
Usually ready in about a week. You own the domain and the files.
That is not a picture. It is the browser drawing a page, the same way yours will be.
These are real pages. Open them.
Every link below is something already built and working. Nothing here is a mockup, and there is nothing to sign up for.
Menu, hours, directions, and the chat on the corner. Tap the chat, add a pizza, and watch it build the order. It never asks for a card.
Open it → Before and after, on a phone Your Google listingThe same listing with and without us: replies under the reviews, something posted this month, and your own name in the ordering list above the apps.
Open it → A working tool The QR code makerPaste a link, get a code you can print. The whole encoder runs in your browser, so your link never leaves your phone.
Open it → For owners with no website The one-link versionYour menu, your chat and your ordering on a page of ours. Put the link in your Instagram bio or on a table sticker and you are done.

On the left, what a lot of restaurant sites still do. On the right, what we build instead. Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys.
- Menu is a PDF that downloads, opens sideways, and needs pinching to read a price Menu is on the page as real text, readable in one hand
- The phone number is part of a picture, so nothing happens when you tap it Call and Directions are buttons, at the top, and they work on the first tap
- "Welcome to our website", which says nothing about the food or the street The heading says what you sell and where you are
- Hours are near the bottom, and they still show the old Sunday times Tonight's hours sit under your name, changed the day you tell us
Both sides are drawn by the browser on this page. Not a single image was loaded, which is rather the point.
On every one we build
Not a list of settings. These are the six things that decide whether somebody walks in.
People look you up standing on the sidewalk, deciding between you and the place across the road. It has to work in one hand, in daylight.
Real text on the page, with prices. Change a price and tell us. It is live the same day, and you never open a PDF editor.
Two buttons, above everything else. Tap one and the phone dials. Tap the other and Maps opens. That is what most visitors came for.
The same one you can try on this page. It answers the questions you get asked all day and takes a pickup order. Included while you subscribe.
Your site and your Google listing say the same thing. Nobody drives over on a Monday to find the door locked.
We use pictures of your plates. A stock photo of a salad reads as a place that closed two years ago, and people can tell. Yours from a phone are fine. If you would rather they were shot properly, we can book that for you, $750 once.
Before you ask
It does not take card payments. People order and pay when they pick up, or on the phone. That means no card fees, no refunds to process, and no chargebacks landing on you six weeks later.
It is one good page, not ten. A restaurant needs the food, the hours, the address and a way to reach you. Ten pages is somewhere for information to go stale.
It does not replace DoorDash or Uber Eats. Those apps have people on them who have never heard of you. Keep them. This is for the people who already searched your name, where you keep the whole ticket.
You own it. The domain goes in your name, not mine, and the files are yours. If you leave, the site keeps working and you can hand it to anyone.
Already have a site? Often the cheaper answer is fixing that one. Send me the link and I will tell you straight which of the two is the better spend, including when it is neither.
It takes about a week. Most of that is waiting on your photos and your menu. The building is the fast part.
What it costs
One price to build it. No monthly fee for the website itself, and nothing that renews without you noticing.
- The page, written and built around your food
- Your menu entered, with prices
- Call, directions and hours set up
- The chat and pickup ordering on it
- Hosting, which costs you nothing to keep running
- Small changes are free while you subscribe to ReplyPlate at $199 a month
Not a subscriber? You still own it, and I quote any change before I start. The domain is about $15 a year, paid by you, to you.
Send me your restaurant's name.
I will look you up, then tell you what I would change and what it would cost. No call needed, and no pitch if the answer is that you do not need one.
