Most restaurants pay one company for their menu and a second for their local search, and own neither at the end of it. This is both, from one studiofor less than most restaurants pay for the local-search half on its own.
Menu platforms don't do your local search. Local-search agencies don't build your menu. So restaurants buy both.
A menu or website platform at $179 to 499, plus a local-search agency at $500 to 2,500. Two invoices, two points of contact, and the menu belongs to the platform, so leaving means starting over.
Both halves, one person accountable, and the menu is yours outrightbuilt to be exported and taken with you the day you decide to go. No contract to escape.
Platform and agency ranges are typical published and reported 2026 pricing for independent restaurants.
Fair question, and the answer matters. What's worth avoiding is renting software you never ownpaying a platform forever for a menu that stays theirs, so leaving costs you everything you built. That's still the thing we're against, and it hasn't softened.
A care plan is a different animal: you own the menu and the site outrightthat part is bought once and it's yours. What you'd pay monthly is for a person doing ongoing work: keeping the menu current, the listings clean, the reviews answered, the profile healthy. You're paying for labour, not for permission to use your own menu. Stop paying and you keep everything.
The building happens first, as a one-time project you buy and own. The plan is only for keeping it that way afterwards: which is why there's no minimum term on it.
A one-page look at how your spot shows up right now. Real findings, no obligation, yours either way.
The menu, the site, the listings cleanup: a defined project at a fixed price. You own the result outright, plan or no plan.
Only if there's genuinely something to keep on top of. Start it, skip it, or begin later: it never affects what you already own.
This is deliberate. Plenty of vendors bury the build inside the subscription, which is why they need to lock you into a year: you'd be paying the build off. We'd rather charge for the build once, and then earn the monthly every month.
Month to month, no minimum term, no cancellation fee. For venues whose menu and site are already built: by us or otherwise.
The flagship is still the one-time build: designed from your brand, built once, owned outright, with nothing to cancel ever. Plenty of restaurants should buy this instead of any plan on this page, and we'll tell you if you're one of them.
A plan should be something you keep paying for because it's worth it: not because leaving would cost you your menu.
The menu and site are built to be yours, not licensed to you: bought once, at the build, and yours from the day it’s paid for. The plan pays for the work of keeping them current, never for the right to use them.
Menu, photos and copy download in standard formats on request. Leaving is a Tuesday, not a hostage negotiation.
The domain is registered in your name, and we work inside your Google profile rather than taking it over. You keep the keys.
No initial term, no annual lock-in, no cancellation fee, no auto-renew trap. Stop the month it stops being worth it.
If your room goes quiet for part of the year, put the plan on hold for those months and pick it back up when the season turns. Your menu and site stay live the whole time: you're just not paying for upkeep you don't need yet.
The fastest way for a plan like this to go bad is billing for a quiet month. So here's the rhythm.
Menu changes, seasonal swaps, hours and events updated as they happen: not when you chase.
Listings, reviews and your Google profile checked on a set cadence, so drift gets caught early.
A quarterly plain-English summary: what changed, what it moved, and what's worth doing next.
A care plan earns its keep when there's genuinely something to keep on top of: a menu that moves with the seasons, reviews worth answering, a busy room whose details drift. If your menu is the same in December as it was in June, buy the one-time build and call us when something changes. We'd rather tell you that than bill you for a quiet month.
The build is yours either way. If you've got someone on staff who'll keep the menu current and answer the reviews, we'll hand it over set up properly and show them how it works. We'd rather you own it outright than pay us out of habit.
Every conversation starts the same way: a free visibility check of how your spot shows up right now. If a plan makes sense after that, we'll talk. If it doesn't, you keep the visibility check anyway.
