Washington's small kitchens sell to the most comparison-shopping customer in the country: staff who lunch on a schedule, neighbours who brunch on a plan, and visitors who see the Mall and then look for dinner within walking distance of a Metro stop. Most rooms answer that phone with a page inside their point-of-sale subscription — a website that exists only while the terminal contract does. We build the independent page that outlives any terminal: the menu with prices, the brunch hours, the deli's order line and the map pin, on its own link, $49 to $199 once.
Three things come up in almost every conversation we have with Washington owners. None of them is a design problem.
A page that lives inside a POS subscription disappears the day you change registers — and it takes your search ranking with it. Ours is a link you own: print it on a receipt, put it in the Instagram bio, and the QR codes on the tables keep working through every till you will ever switch.
Weekend brunch is its own economy with its own hours, its own menu and its own queue. The page carries both sets of hours and switches between them, so the Friday lunch order and the Sunday 10 a.m. queue both find what is actually on — changed by you in a minute when the schedule moves.
The specialty deli's customer types what they want to eat, and the room whose page answers with the menu, the prices and the order phone wins the lunch. One screen — hours, menu, pin — written for the block you trade on, from Capitol Hill to Columbia Heights.
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 an office lunch order on a deadline and a queue outside a brunch room at ten.
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 →
Capitol Hill and Eastern Market delis, Dupont and Logan Circle bistros, U Street and Columbia Heights kitchens, the Navy Yard lunch trade, Georgetown counters and the brunch houses of Shaw and H Street.
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; 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.
That is exactly what it is for. The page and the menu live on their own link, paid for once — not inside a terminal subscription — so the register can change as often as it needs to and the QR codes on the tables keep opening the same menu.
Yes, two sets of hours with a switch, plus a dated line at the top for a holiday closure or a sold-out brunch. You change it from your phone in about a minute; the link never moves.
None. The page shows the menu and the prices and carries the tap-to-call button; the order is taken the way you take it today. We do not process orders or payments, and there is no commission on anything you sell.
No. Everything is built and delivered remotely, so the address and the map pin change and $49 to $199 does not. The page is written for whichever block you trade on.
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. All 28, grouped by country, with a PDF for each →
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.
