Fully custom-coded pages
No page-builder plugins, no accumulated script weight.
Fast casual restaurant website development built for speed and combo pricing
Fast casual restaurant website development means every page is custom coded rather than assembled from a page-builder plugin, which is what makes a 90 or higher PageSpeed score possible on the day the site launches.

Who this is for
Is this page describing your kitchen?
This page is for a fast casual operator with a build-your-own menu and more than one fulfilment type. The counter can configure any order; the website usually cannot, so online tickets default to the plainest version of everything and the combo prices disagree with the board.
The signs
Four things that mean it is time
- Online orders never include the upsells your counter sells all day.
- Combo prices on the site and on the board are different, and nobody knows which is right.
- Dine-in, pickup and delivery are treated identically even though the timings are not.
- Adding a seasonal item means asking someone technical for a favour.
Why custom code instead of a page builder
A page-builder site accumulates plugin weight and script bloat as it grows, which is exactly what slows down the sites of businesses that have been online for years. Building each page in code from the start avoids that accumulation entirely: pages ship with only the script they actually need, which for most pages on this site is none at all.
Build-your-own ordering logic that actually calculates combo pricing
A fast casual order is rarely a single fixed product; it is a base item plus toppings, sides and a combo upgrade, each affecting the price. Development work includes building that pricing logic correctly so the total shown at checkout always matches what your kitchen would charge at the counter.
Routing orders into your systems
Development work includes connecting your ordering flow to whatever point-of-sale, kitchen display or CRM your team already uses, by API, Zapier or Make. An in-store combo builder and an online order can route to the same ticketing system so nothing gets missed during a rush.
What is included
What you actually get, line by line
All of it inside the monthly plan. Nothing below is quoted separately or billed by the hour.
- A configurable order builder: proteins, toppings, sides and drinks, with combo pricing that updates as choices are made
- Separate handling for dine-in, pickup and delivery, each with its own timing and instructions
- Per-location menus where kitchens differ, so nothing is offered that cannot be made
- A catering tray path with its own lead time and request form
- Seasonal and limited-run items added and removed as ordinary revisions
- Routing into the system you already use to fire and track tickets

Ongoing development as you grow

What is not included
The things we will not pretend to do
- Loyalty programme software. We can explain and link yours; we do not operate it.
- Point-of-sale hardware or in-store kiosks.
- Inventory or stock management.
If one of these is the thing you actually need, say so on the call. We would rather point you somewhere else than sell you a plan that does not fit.
What drives the work
The price is fixed. This is what changes the effort
You pay the plan price whatever your kitchen looks like. These are the things that decide how much of the first two weeks we spend on structure, and they are worth thinking about before the onboarding call.
- How deep the modifier tree goes before an order is complete
- How many locations diverge in menu, hours or fulfilment
- Whether combo pricing follows rules or a long list of exceptions
Plans start at $117 a month with a $647 one-time build fee invoiced only after launch. See all three plans.
How the work is done
Four steps, and what you do at each one
- 1
Onboarding form and one call
About fifteen minutes of form, then a call where we fill the gaps and agree the launch date. The launch clock starts at the call, not at purchase.
- 2
Structure before decoration
Menu sections, modifiers, zones, locations and the ordering path are agreed first, because that is what the design has to serve.
- 3
Build and review
Every page custom coded and checked against the 90+ PageSpeed target on mobile and desktop. You see it and say what is wrong before anyone else does.
- 4
Launch, then the weekly work
Live in 7 days on Order Starter. After that: articles, revisions and technical checks every week, and the build fee invoiced only once you have approved the site.
From a kitchen like yours
One operator, one specific change
The starting point was our own sent mail, not a template, and it shows. Nothing went live until the person responsible for that subject had signed off the answer. New starters read it too; it has become our reference, not just the customers'.

Guarantees
The promises that are actually in the contract
Every line below is in the terms and conditions, not just on this page. If a claim only exists in marketing copy, it is not a guarantee.
90+ PageSpeed, in writing
We guarantee a Google PageSpeed score of 90+ on mobile and desktop for pages we build and host. If a page falls below it because of our work, we fix it at no charge.
Local rankings inside 3 to 5 months
The terms commit to your site starting to rank for local searches in your area within 3 to 5 months of launch. If it has not, we continue the search work at no additional charge until it does.
The build fee is invoiced after you approve the site
The $647 one-time build fee is not taken at signup. It is invoiced once your site is live and you have said you are happy with it, which is why it is not refundable afterwards.
No hourly billing, ever
5 revisions a month are included and a revision has no size limit. After the fifth, each is a flat $20. Everything is completed within 2 to 5 working days.
The domain and your content stay yours
Your domain is registered in your name, and if you leave you tell us where to send it and we transfer it at no charge. On cancellation we provide an export of your content and articles within 14 days.
Cancel with 2 business days notice
By email, before your next invoice date. No lock-in period, no exit fee, no clause that keeps billing you for a site you asked us to stop.
The limits are stated too: neither guarantee covers changes you or a third party make, content published against our advice, or rankings for terms outside your area. Neither entitles you to a refund. The remedy is the corrective work, done at our cost.
Be fair about it
Doing this another way
There are cheaper ways to have a website and better ways to spend money than on us, depending on your kitchen. We wrote ten comparisons that say so out loud, including the cases where you should stay exactly where you are.
- WordPressPowerful and open, but you own the maintenance, the plugins and the 8pm emergency.
- WixQuick and cheap to start. Everything after launch day is still your job.
- GoHighLevel builderSame outcome possible, different question: who maintains it after launch week?
- A freelancerOften a better build than a template. The question is who answers in month six.
- A marketing agencyAgencies create demand. The site converts it. Fix the destination first.
- SquarespaceThe prettiest builder. Still leaves the ordering, the structure and the weekly work to you.

Questions about fast casual restaurant website development
Do you build on a page builder or from scratch?
From scratch. Every page is custom coded rather than assembled from a page-builder plugin, which is a large part of how the speed guarantee is met.
Can the ordering flow handle build-your-own items with combo pricing?
Yes. The checkout logic is built to calculate a real total based on base item, modifiers and combo upgrades, not a flat product price.
Can you integrate with the point-of-sale or kitchen display system we already use?
Yes, in most cases, by API, Zapier or Make. Tell us what you run during onboarding and we scope the integration as part of the build.
What happens to speed as we add more menu items or locations?
It stays consistent, because new pages use the same custom-coded architecture as the original build rather than an added plugin that slows the whole site down.
Can the online builder match the counter exactly?
That is the target, and we scope it against your real modifier list during onboarding. Where the counter allows something the online flow genuinely cannot price, we tell you rather than quietly dropping it.
How do we stop the site and the menu board disagreeing?
One source and one process: you send the change once, and it is applied everywhere it appears on the site within 2 to 5 working days. Most disagreements come from two people editing two places.
Do you support scheduled pickup for lunch rushes?
Yes, where your kitchen can hold to a window. The site should only offer a time you can actually hit, which is a conversation we have during the build.
What if we open a fourth location mid-plan?
It is a revision inside your existing allowance in most cases, scoped up front if it is larger. A new location page follows the same structure as the first three so nothing reads like an afterthought.
