San Francisco charges you by the square foot and by the hour, and then a platform charges you again for the page that tells people where you are. The guest on Valencia is holding a phone that shows a 2021 menu with a taco two dollars cheaper than the one in front of them. We build the one page that answers where you are, what you have and what it costs — once, for $49 to $199.
Three things come up in almost every conversation we have with San Francisco shop owners. None of them is a design problem.
At San Francisco wages, $219 a month is close to two days of a line cook, paid to a company that hosts a page. $199 once, and nothing renewing behind it, is the cheapest line on the sheet.
Someone walking the Mission, North Beach or Hayes Valley searches, taps the first result and decides in ten seconds. A page that opens in a second with today's hours, prices and a map is what turns a walk-by into a walk-in.
Bakeries sell out by noon and kitchens reprint the board when the market changes. Your edit key changes a price or a sold-out item in a minute, on the same link the QR codes already point to.
Not a template you fill in. We take your hours, prices and photos, build each piece, and hand back a live link that works for a guest standing on the sidewalk with one hand on a phone.
One form, five minutes. Delivery target is one business day from the moment we have your details, hours, menu and photos.
The fastest way to judge this is to open one. This is a sample built from a public listing, so the phone, address and hours are the shop's own.
Not a customer site. See the standard layout we deliver →
Taquerias, bakeries, coffee bars and the small counters that make a block worth walking — in every part of the city, and across the bridge.
Not on the list? It does not matter — everything is built remotely and delivered as a link and files, so the neighbourhood changes the words, not the price.
Software and hardware only, before card processing and tax. Every figure is the vendor's own published 2026 price, read 11 November 2026. Run your own volume through the calculator if the per-order fees matter more than the subscription.

Toast: Traditional list on its Starter Kit checkout, single location, first terminal (read 7 November 2026). BentoBox: no published price since the Clover fold-in, so the last list it printed is used. Owner.com: published pricing at $5,000/mo of online orders. Slice: 600 orders a month, a busy pizzeria's volume, because that is what decides the per-order fee. Card processing is on top of every line here, including ours is not — we take no orders and process nothing.
Nothing here is a subscription, and nothing renews. Pick the link if that is all you need; pick the Local Pack if customers keep asking for the menu.
One page, one business day.
The one most shops order.
Everything, plus 30 days of us on call.
Prices are in US dollars. Pay by card on Polar's checkout page; any tax is calculated and shown there before you pay.
Payment is taken by Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, on their checkout page — we never see your card. By ordering you agree to our terms and refund policy. One round of edits is included; the files are yours to keep and reprint.
Each of the eleven has its own page, with its own price ladder, contract terms and three-year arithmetic.
Yes — Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, San Jose and anywhere else the phone reaches. Everything is built remotely, so distance changes nothing and the price is the same.
Yes. Hours and menus can be split by day of the week, and the page can carry a dated note at the top — a holiday closure, a sold-out item, a weekend queue.
The apps are where people order delivery; the page is where they decide to walk in. It carries the dine-in menu with your own prices, so the guest is not reading a markup that was never yours.
The Local Pack: a mobile website on its own link, a digital menu with one QR code per table, three print-ready posters, five Instagram posts with captions, and one round of edits. The files are yours and there is no subscription.
No. $49, $199 or $499 is the whole price, charged once. Domain registration, printing and advertising are yours to pay if you want them, and we do not take a cut of anything you sell.
Yes. You get an edit key for the page, so a price, a closing time or a sold-out dish is a change you make in a minute. The QR codes already on the tables keep working because the address never changes.
Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, on their checkout page. Your card details are entered there and never on this site; they issue the receipt and handle any refund.
The packages, what is delivered, and the three-year maths — on one A4 page you can hand over or pin up.
Local pages for the shops that make each city worth walking through.
Send your hours, your menu and a few photos. We build the page, the QR menu, the posters and the posts, and hand it back the next business day. If you already pay a platform for a page like this, this is the line you can take off the bill.
