Menu, reservations, and local SEO —
live before opening night
A restaurant launch has a hundred moving parts. The website should not be one of them. InMinutes is the AI website builder that turns your menu and Google listing into a restaurant-ready site — menu pages, table reservations, ordering, and local SEO — in under 2 minutes. No code, no designer's timeline.
Free to build and preview · reservations on every plan · 0% platform fees on ordering
Opening week, honestly
Where new restaurant websites go wrong
None of these are design problems. They are launch-sequence problems — and a nicer template does not fix a single one.
The menu is on Instagram, not on Google
Diners search “[cuisine] near me” and land on a listing with no menu link. A photo carousel does not answer “do they have a vegetarian option” or “what does the tasting menu cost.”
Reservations live on someone else's domain
A third-party booking widget means a second brand, a second login, and often a per-cover fee — before you have served a single cover.
Local SEO is “later”
The listing, the site, and the structured data have to agree on name, address, hours, and cuisine. Most new restaurants never finish this layer, and it is the layer that decides who shows up.
The website is the last thing on the checklist
Between the fit-out, the permits, and hiring, a designer's six-week timeline means opening without a site — or with a placeholder page that says “coming soon.”
Restaurant-ready
What your site does on day one
The parts a restaurant website builder usually sells as add-ons — menus, reservations, ordering, local SEO — are generated with the site here.
Menu pages diners can actually read
Attach your menu — PDF, photo, or text — and it becomes structured pages with sections, prices, and dietary notes. Update a dish by chat when the season changes.
Table reservations, generated
Service hours and seating slots become a working reservation flow with confirmations and reminders — included on every plan. Take a deposit for large parties on Pro.
Local SEO from your Google listing
Name, address, hours, and cuisine are imported from your Google Business Profile, so the site and the listing agree. LocalBusiness structured data, meta tags, and AI-search signals ship at publish.
Online ordering without commission
Add pickup ordering or delivery through your own Stripe or PayPal on Pro, with 0% InMinutes platform fees — you pay standard card processing only, not a marketplace cut.
Gift cards, events, and catering enquiries
Sell gift cards, take private-event and catering requests through forms that land in your dashboard inbox, and add a merch shelf when you are ready.
Edited by chat, between services
“Add Sunday brunch 10–2.” “Sold out of the lamb.” “New tasting menu, six courses, $85.” Changes are sentences you type from your phone.
The opening-night website check
Before the first service, a diner outside the door should be able to do four things from their phone. InMinutes generates all four; you confirm them in a coffee break.
- Menu with prices visible without downloading a PDF
- Reservations that confirm by email in your own brand
- Hours, address, and phone identical to your Google listing
- A mobile page that loads fast on a diner's phone outside the door
How the launch goes
Menu to first reservation
Type the restaurant's name
InMinutes pulls your Google Business Profile — or, if you have not listed yet, takes a short description plus your menu. Photos and a logo help; nothing is required.
Review menu, reservations, and pages
In under 2 minutes you have a homepage, menu, reservations, about, and contact — one design, mobile-first, with hours and directions already correct.
Publish before opening night
Connect your domain, go live with hosting and SSL included, then add the URL to your Google listing so the first “near me” searches land on a real menu.
Questions from restaurant owners
How fast can a new restaurant get a website with a menu and reservations?
Under 2 minutes for a complete draft, and the same day to publish. InMinutes generates the menu pages, a reservation flow from your service hours, and the about and contact pages together, so opening week is spent reviewing rather than building.
Can I upload my menu as a PDF or photo?
Yes. Attach the menu in any format — PDF, photo, spreadsheet, or plain text — and it becomes structured menu pages with sections, prices, and notes. When a dish changes, tell the site by chat and the page updates.
Are reservations included, or is it a third-party widget?
Reservations are generated with the site and included on every plan, including the free preview. Confirmations and reminders go out in your brand. Taking a card deposit for large parties or tasting menus runs on Pro at $49/month.
Does online ordering charge commission per order?
No. Pickup and delivery ordering runs through your own Stripe or PayPal on Pro with 0% InMinutes platform fees — you pay only the processor's standard card rate, not a marketplace percentage. Other platforms also reach 0% under their own conditions; the difference here is no processor lock-in.
How does this handle local SEO for a restaurant that has not opened yet?
Create your Google Business Profile first, even before opening. InMinutes imports name, address, hours, and category from it, generates LocalBusiness structured data and per-page meta tags at publish, and adds AI-search signals so assistants can cite you. Add the site URL to the listing and the two reinforce each other.
I am not technical and I am opening in three weeks. Is this realistic?
Yes — this page exists for exactly that situation. There is no editor to learn: you describe changes in plain language. Building and previewing is free; publishing on your own domain starts at $19/month, and ordering with 0% platform fees is on Pro at $49/month.
Open with a menu on Google, not a coming-soon page
Generate your restaurant site free, check the menu and reservation flow on your phone, and publish when it is right — from $19/month.
