Websites for independent restaurants
One maintained record of your hours, menu and how to book. A fast website for people. The same facts, readable by machines. Nothing guessed.
We don’t promise rankings. We promise that what’s out there about you is right, and that you are the source.
The leak
On one day in September 2026 we checked a real Korean restaurant in Allston, Boston. Google said 5:30 PM to 1 AM, every day. Its online-ordering page said closed on Friday and Saturday, with one item left on the menu. Two directories still linked a website that no longer exists. A person shrugs and calls. An AI assistant marks the place “cannot confirm” and moves on to the next one.
Three sources. Three answers.
Open daily 5:30 PM – 1 AM
Website: none
Fri: Closed · Sat: Closed
Menu: 1 item
5:00 PM – 1:00 AM
Website: doesn’t load
Fri 5:30 PM – 1 AM · Reservations by phone
Confirmed by the restaurant · date shown
Illustrative. Based on public listings we read on 2026-09-25. The restaurant is not a client and is not named.
How AI assistants choose
This is what an assistant actually does when someone hands it a dinner plan. We watched it happen.
How we fix it
You tell us a fact once. It appears on the page people read, on the facts page, in the data file assistants read and in the plain-text version — all at the same time, all carrying the date you confirmed it. Try it: change the Friday hours or a price.

Data updated: 2026-10-02
Two readers, one page
Assistants don’t see your photos or your typeface. They read structure: headings, lists, links, and the data behind them. We build pages that read well both ways.
Confirmed by the restaurant on 2026-10-02
Same fictional page, two readings. Nothing on the right was written twice — it is the page’s own structure.
What we tested
In September 2026, several agent clients — including Grok’s browsing tools and two script-driven bots — read our sample restaurant’s page and data file over the public web.
None of them invented a price, an opening time or a “vegetarian” label that had not been confirmed.
They correctly separated “listed publicly” from “confirmed by the restaurant”, and reported unknowns as unknown.
They re-checked the data file later using standard web version tags and detected a published change without being told about it.
Given a real dinner task, an agent could not complete it for any restaurant it found: every candidate lacked confirmed prices, dietary facts or a booking path.
Services
Both start with a 15-minute call where we write down only what you confirm.
A fast, accurate site for your restaurant, on your own domain.
Quoted on the call
Best if your details rarely change.
Everything in Website, plus we keep it true.
Quoted on the call
Best if hours or menu move with the season, or you have ever changed a price.
The domain, the words, the data file. If you ever stop working with us, you keep the site as files and the domain stays yours.
You get an invoice by email and pay by card or bank transfer — no account needed. Nothing is due until the site is live and you have checked it.
How it goes
We confirm your hours, menu, prices and how you take bookings. We write down only what you say. Unknown stays unknown.
You get a link and check it on your phone. Tell us what is off; we fix it the same day.
We connect your domain and put the site live. This is when payment is due — not before.
You add the link to your Google Business Profile. We walk you through it. From here on, every listing points at your record.
Questions
We work remotely with restaurants in the US and Canada. Everything happens by phone, text and a private preview link. Your domain and your Google profile stay in your name and under your control.
You get an invoice by email and pay by card or bank transfer. Nothing is due until the site is live and you have checked it.
We check it the same way we check listings: does it load, is it right, can a machine read it. Sometimes the answer is “keep it, fix three things.” We will tell you either way.
No. We publish what you confirm. If you have not confirmed a price or an ingredient, the site says so instead of guessing.
We link to whatever you already use — phone, Toast, OpenTable, Resy. We do not run a booking system, and we will not add one you did not ask for.
Nobody can promise that. What we can do is make sure that when an assistant checks you, it finds confirmed facts instead of contradictions — and that is the step where restaurants get dropped today.
Free
Tell us your restaurant and city. We look at what Google, Apple Maps, ordering pages and directories currently say about you, and send a short note in plain language: what is wrong, what is missing, what we would fix first. No obligation.
