Foundation Who we build for Cafés & restaurants

Websites and booking
for cafés and restaurants.

A booking platform takes a cut of every cover and keeps the customer's details. We build you the site that takes the booking directly, keeps the data, and costs the same whether you do twenty covers or two hundred.

The bit that hurts

Somebody else owns
your customers.

Most independents end up renting their own front door. The booking platform has the diary, the customer list and a percentage of every cover.

01

Commission on your own regulars

Paying per cover for a customer who has been coming for six years, and who found you by walking past.

02

A menu you cannot change

The PDF from 2023 is still on the site because changing it means emailing whoever built it. Meanwhile the specials board is three dishes ahead.

03

Bookings scattered

Phone, Instagram DMs, a platform and a paper book. Nobody can say with confidence how many are coming on Saturday.

04

No way to reach the people who came

You served four thousand people last year and cannot email a single one of them about the new opening hours.

An example site

A site that makes
people hungry.

Food sites live or die on warmth and on whether the menu is current. This example is warm retro, changes its own “out of the oven today” ticker, and puts opening hours where people look.

Fenwick & Crumb is a fictional bakery. This is a working example site.

What we build for you

Covers, orders
and your own list.

Everything here is yours — the bookings, the customers and the money. No per-cover cut, no platform sitting between you and the person eating.

01

Table booking without commission

Covers, sittings, table sizes and turn times, booked on your own site. You pay for the software once, not per head, forever.

02

A menu you edit yourself

Change a price, sell out of a dish, add a special. Takes thirty seconds on a phone and it is live, including in the structured data Google reads.

03

Click and collect

Pre-orders for the counter, paid up front, with a pick-up time the kitchen can actually hit.

04

Deposits on big tables

A party of twelve on a Saturday can hold with a card. It is the cheapest insurance against an empty room there is.

05

Your customer list, yours

Every booking builds a list you own and can email — the new menu, the Christmas dates, the Tuesday that is quiet.

06

Opening hours everywhere at once

Change them in one place and the site, Google and the booking rules all follow. No more “but Google said you were open”.

The system behind it

The booking flow,
working, right now.

Party size, sitting, time, details, confirmed. Try to book a full sitting — it will not let you. The same engine handles deposits on the big tables.

Ashcroft Physio · a fictional business, but the booking flow is genuinely working.

How it goes

First working build
in 72 hours.

Menus and hours go in before launch, and you get shown how to change them yourself in about five minutes. That is the bit that decides whether a food site stays current.

01

A twenty-minute call

Menus, sittings, table plan, turn times and how far ahead you take bookings.

02

A working site in 72 hours

Live, with the menu on it and booking working.

03

Your diary set up

Sittings, covers, table sizes and deposit rules configured with you.

04

Shown how to change it

Five minutes, on your phone, so tomorrow's specials do not need us.

Quick answers

Restaurant questions,
answered straight.

How much does a restaurant website with booking cost?

The website starts at £250, or £220 up front plus £19 a month hosted and looked after. Table booking and ordering are quoted free and priced on what they do — never per cover.

Do you charge per booking?

No. That is the entire point. You pay for the software once, and a busy Saturday costs you exactly the same as a quiet Tuesday.

Can I change the menu myself?

Yes, in about thirty seconds on your phone, and the change reaches the page and the structured data Google reads at the same time.

Can we take deposits on big tables?

Yes, through Stripe, on whichever bookings you choose — usually parties above a size you set, and December.

What happens to our existing bookings?

They come across. We will not switch you over into an empty diary on a Friday afternoon.

Do we get to keep the customer details?

Yes. They are your bookings on your system, and the mailing list they build is yours to use.

Answered?
Two fields and a tap. You'll hear back from a real person, usually today.
