Maison Noir
A menu led restaurant site with table reservations and deposits, allergen tagging, order ahead pickup, and an automatic waitlist. Walk through the whole thing as a customer would.

Restaurant websites
The menu they find should be tonight's menu.
For restaurants, cafes, bakeries and caterers. Hungry people decide in under a minute, usually on a phone, often standing outside.
The problem
Hungry people do not hunt.
Every extra tap between someone and your menu is a chance for them to pick the place next door.
The menu is a photo from two years ago
Prices changed, dishes changed, and the picture someone posted is still the first thing that comes up.
Nobody can read a PDF on a phone
A PDF menu opens in a viewer, loads slowly, and needs pinching. Half the people give up before the mains.
Your hours are wrong somewhere
Google says one thing, the door says another, and the customer who drove over will remember it.
Reservations live in a phone that nobody can answer
During service, the phone is the worst way to take a booking, and the caller knows it.
What we build
Menu first, everything else close behind.
The page is ordered the way a hungry person reads it, not the way a brochure is written.
A real menu, not a picture of one
Text you can read at any size, organised by course, easy for you to update when a price or a dish changes.
Hours and location above the fold
Open or closed, where you are, and a tap to open directions in their maps app.
A clear path to a table
Buttons that go straight to your reservation or ordering service, or a request form if you take bookings yourself.
The room, in photos
A few good pictures of the food and the space do more than any amount of description.
What is included
Every restaurant build includes these.
Ordering and reservation platforms are connected, not replaced. See the note under the price.

How it works
Five steps, start to launch.
The same five steps, with the menu as the piece we need earliest.
01
Tell us about your business
You fill in six quick questions, or we talk it through. No long questionnaire.
02
Get a free quote
Within one business day: what we would build, which features matter for you, and the starting price.
03
Review the plan and price
You see the full price in writing before any work starts. Nothing begins until you say so.
04
We design and build it
You see the real thing partway through and tell us what to change.
05
Review, launch, and grow
We publish it, then walk you through your own site on a call so you know how it works.
Questions
The ones we get asked.
Do you build the online ordering itself?
No. We connect the service you already use, or help you pick one. Those platforms charge their own fees, which are separate from the website price.
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes, and we show you how on the walkthrough call. If you would rather text us the change, that is what a care plan is for.
What about reservations?
Same answer as ordering. We link to your reservation platform, or build a request form if you take bookings by hand.
Can the menu be in Spanish and English?
Yes. That is one of the add-ons, and it is the one restaurants in New York ask for most.
How long does it take?
About two weeks once we have your menu and photos. The menu is usually the slow part, so send it first.
Do you take photos?
Not currently. We tell you exactly what to shoot on a phone, and the results are usually fine for a menu site.
