The problem

Your Restaurant Deserves Better Than an Outdated Website.

Most restaurant websites were built once and never touched again. Customers notice. They look up your hours, can’t find the menu, and pick the place down the street that made it easy.

  • Wrong menu, wrong hours

    Prices changed last spring. The holiday hours are from two years ago. Customers find out at the counter.

  • Social media doing all the work

    Your menu is buried in a post from March, and anyone who isn’t on Facebook can’t see much at all.

  • Hard to use on a phone

    Tiny text, a menu that downloads as a PDF, buttons you can’t hit with a thumb. And a phone is where people look you up.

  • No time to keep it updated

    You’re running a kitchen. Logging into a website builder after close isn’t happening, and that’s fair.

  • Customers can’t find what they need

    Menu, location, ordering link. If a hungry customer can’t find it in a few seconds, they move on.

Sound familiar? (An illustration, not a real restaurant.)

CravEngine takes the website off your plate.

We build it, host it, maintain it and make the small updates in your plan, so you can get back to the food.

Website packages

Two Packages. One Team Looking After It.

Both include the build and the monthly plan that keeps it running. The difference is how much we build, and how much we take care of every month.

Not sure which fits? That’s exactly what the free consultation is for.

Why there’s a monthly fee

Your Website Is Built Once. We Keep Taking Care of It.

The build fee covers creating your website. The monthly fee covers everything after launch: keeping it online, keeping it working, and making the small updates included in your plan.

Here’s exactly what you’re paying for.

Managed hosting

We handle the hosting that keeps your website online and reachable for customers.

Both plans

Technical maintenance

We take care of routine technical upkeep and address website issues when they come up.

Both plans

Content updates

New hours, menu prices, a small section of the site? Small changes are included, up to your plan's monthly allowance.

Essentials: 2 minor updatesSignature: 5 minor updates

Website monitoring

We periodically check that your site is up and that the important parts, like your menu, ordering links and contact details, still work.

Both plans

Technical support

If something on your website isn't working properly, you have someone to contact.

Both plans

Peace of mind

You don't have to become a website developer, or learn a website builder at midnight after close.

Both plans

Think of us as your website guy — without having to hire one.

How it works

Four Steps. Nothing to Figure Out.

You tell us about the restaurant and send us what you have. We do the rest, and we stay around after launch.

  1. 01

    Let's talk

    We learn about your restaurant, your goals and what kind of website you need. The consultation is free.

  2. 02

    Choose your package

    We recommend the package that fits your business, Essentials or Signature, and you decide.

  3. 03

    We build it

    We collect your details, branding, menu and photos, then design and build your website.

  4. 04

    We keep it running

    Once you're live, we handle the ongoing care in your monthly plan, so the website isn't one more thing on your list.

Questions

Straight Answers.

If yours isn’t here, ask us at your consultation, or call (720) 256-3690.

Why do I need a website if I already have Facebook or Instagram?

Social media is great for staying in touch, but you don't control it. The algorithm decides who sees your posts, your menu and hours get buried under last month's photos, and plenty of customers aren't on Facebook at all. When someone searches your name, a website gives them your menu, hours, location and ordering link in one place that you control. It works alongside your social pages, not instead of them.

Why is there a monthly fee?

The build fee covers creating your website. The monthly fee covers keeping it running after launch: hosting, technical maintenance, routine checks, basic technical support if something breaks, and the small content updates included in your plan. Instead of trying to manage the website yourself, you have someone to contact when something needs attention.

What's the difference between Essentials and Signature?

Essentials ($995 build, then $79/month) is a one-page website on a proven layout we customize for you, with your menu, hours, story and photos on one scroll. It's a great fit for small bakeries, cafés and food trucks. Signature ($3,000 build, then $150/month) is up to five pages with a more customized design, a dedicated menu page and an about page. Both plans keep your site online, checked and fixed if something breaks. Signature looks after a bigger site and includes five minor content updates per month, instead of two minor content updates per month.

Can I update my menu or business hours?

Yes. Let us know what changed and we'll make the update. Essentials includes two minor content updates per month, and Signature includes five minor content updates per month. That covers things like new hours, price changes or swapping a photo. Bigger changes are quoted before we start.

Can customers order food through my website?

Yes, through the online ordering you already use. We link your website to it (Toast, Square, DoorDash or another service), so customers are one tap from ordering. That's different from building a custom online ordering system into your website, which isn't part of either package. If you need one, we'll quote it separately.

What if I need additional pages or features?

Essentials is one page and Signature is up to five. Extra pages, custom features and anything beyond the package are quoted separately, so you'll know the cost before any work starts.

How long does it take to build a website?

Usually within a couple of days, and at most two weeks, depending on our workload. The clock starts once we have your menu, photos and logo.

Can I get my deposit back?

Yes, if you cancel before we start designing your site. Once design work has started, the deposit isn't refundable.

Do I need to provide my own photos and menu?

Yes. You'll send us your menu, your logo and photos of your food and your place. Whatever you have is a fine starting point, and we'll tell you if anything is missing. We won't put food on your website that isn't yours.

Is there a contract for the monthly plan?

No long-term contract. The monthly plan runs month to month. To stop it, just give us 30 days' notice.

What if I stop the monthly plan?

Your website comes with you. We send you its files so you, or anyone you hire, can put it online somewhere else. From then on, keeping it online, updated and fixed is on you, and things that run on our setup, like the contact form, won't work until whoever takes it over sets them up again. If we set up your web address, ask within 30 days and we'll hand it over. After that, it's released.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Once your build fee is paid, the website is yours. We host it and look after it while you're on a monthly plan. If you ever leave, getting it online somewhere else is up to you.

Who owns my web address?

If you already have one, it stays yours. We just point it to your new website. If you don't, we set one up for you, and it's included in your monthly plan. If you ever leave, we'll hand it over if you ask within 30 days. After that, it's released.
