How new restaurants and cafés launch a live site with a real menu, online orders, and reservations from one AI-powered platform — generated free, published from $19/mo.

Restaurant AI Website Builder for Menus and Orders

Quick answer: InMinutes is an AI website builder for restaurants that generates the menu, ordering, and reservation pages together rather than leaving you to bolt them on. Describe your restaurant and it produces a live multi-page site with a text-based menu Google can read, native online ordering on your own domain, and a booking page built from your service hours. Generate free with no card, publish from $19/mo, and run the store with 0% platform fee on Pro at $49/mo.

Opening a restaurant leaves very little time for a website, which is exactly why so many new places launch with a PDF menu on a free page. Here is what a generated restaurant site includes instead.

InMinutes restaurant websites

The menu is text, not a picture of text

This is the difference that decides whether you show up in local search. A menu uploaded as a PDF or a photo is invisible to Google, unreadable on a phone without zooming, and impossible to update quickly.

InMinutes generates the menu as structured content: sections, dishes, descriptions, prices, and dietary tags, each editable on its own. Change a price and it changes — no layout to repair, no image to re-export. And because it is real text, a search for a dish you actually serve can find you.

Online ordering runs on your domain

Restaurant website design often puts a big "Order Now" button on a page that opens a marketplace. The customer is theirs after that, and so is a commission that commonly runs 15–30% per order on the large aggregators.

InMinutes ordering happens on your site. Payments go to your own Stripe or PayPal account, the customer's details are yours, and the platform fee is 0% on Pro at $49/mo. To be precise about what that means: you still pay payment processing of roughly 2.9% + 30¢, which is unavoidable everywhere, and 0% platform fee is not unique to us — Wix, Squarespace Core and above, and Shopify with Shopify Payments also reach 0%. The expensive path is the aggregator, not the website builder.

Reservations come from your real hours

The booking page is generated from the service hours you describe, not from a generic template. Party size, time slots, and confirmations work from day one, and appointments are included on every InMinutes plan — the Free plan included. Taking a card deposit at booking time is the Pro feature, which is the right tool if no-shows are costing you covers on a Friday night.

The pages a restaurant needs, generated together

  • Home — what you are, where you are, and when you are open, above the fold on mobile

  • Menu — text-based, sectioned, priced, with dietary tags

  • Order — native checkout to your own payment account

  • Reservations — real availability from your hours

  • About — the story, the chef, the room

  • Contact — tappable phone, one-tap map, hours that match Google

  • Plus private events or catering where they apply, which are the highest-margin enquiries most restaurants never build a page for

Local SEO is written at publish

Restaurant search is local search, and most of it happens on a phone within a few miles of you. InMinutes writes the groundwork automatically: unique titles and meta descriptions per page, LocalBusiness structured data with your address, hours, phone, and price range, Open Graph tags so shared links look right, and a sitemap.

The one thing to do by hand is worth the five minutes: make your name, address, and phone match your Google Business Profile exactly. "Suite 3" on the site and "Unit 3" on Google splits your own local signals.

Where we are honest about the fit: if you are running a multi-site group with a POS integration and a loyalty programme, a specialist restaurant platform will serve you better. InMinutes is built for the independent restaurant or café that needs a real site live this week.

Updating it during service

Sold out of the special, closing early, kitchen closed but the bar is open. These changes have to happen from a phone in a minute, by whoever is on shift.

InMinutes edits are conversational — describe the change and it applies — which is the only editing model that survives contact with a busy service.
