## What a restaurant website from Summit Echo includes

Restaurant websites are checked on phones, in the car, by someone deciding in the next ninety seconds. The pages below put the menu, the hours, and the way to book or order first, and give Google clean text to work with.

- **Menu.** Your full menu as real text with prices, descriptions, and dietary notes. Readable on a phone, readable by Google, and updated as a basic content change.
- **Hours, location, and parking.** Current hours, holiday changes, address, map, and where to park. Matched to your Google Business Profile so the two never disagree.
- **Reservations and online ordering.** Links into the reservation and ordering systems you already use, placed on every page. We do not replace those systems; we make them easy to reach.
- **Catering and private events.** Packages, minimums, and room details, with an inquiry form that captures date, headcount, and budget.
- **About and story.** Who runs the kitchen, what the place is about, and the photos that make someone want to come in.
- **Specials, events, and seasonal pages.** Brunch, happy hour, live music, holiday menus. Short pages we add and retire as the calendar moves.

## How guests look for a restaurant

Most restaurant searches are "near me" and answered by the Google map results, which pull from your Google Business Profile and from your website. When the two disagree on hours or the menu, Google trusts neither. A website with current, text-based hours and menu items backs up the profile and gives Google something to quote.

The second kind of search is specific: "brunch [town]," "private dining room [town]," "catering [town]." Those need their own pages. A restaurant site that is one long homepage cannot match them; a site with a brunch page, an events page, and a catering page can.

We write those pages from your kickoff answers and your menu. The site links into your reservation and ordering tools rather than replacing them, so nothing about how you take bookings has to change.

## What we build for restaurants

- A menu page built as text, not a PDF, so guests and Google can read it
- Hours, location, parking, and contact at the top of every page
- Reservation and online ordering links to the systems you already use
- Catering and private event pages with inquiry forms
- Photos of the room and the food, placed for a first-time guest
- Hosting and basic content updates while you are on the plan

## How your restaurant website goes live

1. Complete kickoff: the restaurant services you want more of, your towns or neighborhoods, credentials, photos, and reviews.
2. We plan the pages, write the copy, design the site, and build the forms. You review before anything goes live.
3. Live within 10 business days after completed kickoff materials, with hosting and basic content updates included.

## A PDF menu and a phone number versus a site that seats people

A guest deciding between two places picks the one that answers "what do they serve, are they open, can I get in" fastest.

**Vendor template or no site**
- A PDF menu that cannot be read on a phone or by Google
- Hours that are wrong on the site, wrong on Google, or missing
- No clear path to reserve, order, or ask about catering

**With an Express Website**
- A real menu page with current items, prices, and dietary notes
- Hours and location that match your Google Business Profile
- Reservation, ordering, catering, and event pages, each with its own path

## Reservation and catering calls, answered during the rush

The phone rings hardest when the floor is fullest. The AI Voice Agent answers the calls you route to it, takes reservation requests and catering inquiries, answers hours and menu questions, and passes anything unusual to a person. $400/month on its own, month to month, or $550/month with the website as The Front Door.

- Answers hours, location, and menu questions without pulling staff off the floor
- Captures reservation and catering requests with date, party size, and contact
- Escalates to a person by rules you set at kickoff

The AI Voice Agent is optional and sold separately at $400/month, month to month.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you build the menu so I can change prices myself?

Menu changes are a basic content update, included on the plan: send the change through your client portal and we make it. If you would rather edit directly, tell us at kickoff and we can plan for that.

### We use Toast / Resy / OpenTable. Does the site replace that?

No. The site links into the ordering and reservation systems you already use and puts those links where guests look. Nothing about how you take orders or bookings changes.

### Do you handle our Google Business Profile too?

The website is built to match it: same hours, same address, same menu items. Keeping the profile itself updated is your team's job, and we will tell you at kickoff which fields matter most.

### How fast will the site be live?

Within 10 business days after we receive your completed kickoff materials. Checkout comes first and does not start the clock; the kickoff form does. Most owners finish kickoff in an evening.

### What if my services or towns change?

Basic content updates are included while you are on the plan. Send the change through your client portal and we make it. Adding a new service page or a new town page is a normal request, not a change order.

### Do I own the website?

Express is a managed website subscription, not a one-time website purchase. You own your domain, trademarks, logo, customer data, and the original materials you give us. Summit Echo owns the assembled website, design, copy we write, code, templates, hosting setup, and search and AI optimization work, and licenses it to you while your subscription is active.

### What happens if I cancel?

Cancellation takes 30 days’ written notice, given in your client portal, and becomes effective on the later of the end of the initial 6-month term or 30 days after notice. Your site stays live and billing continues through that date; after it, the site is unpublished. We do not export, package, or migrate the site, its design files, or code. Your domain is released or transferred to you, and you can download available customer data through your existing tools before service ends. We keep a backup for 60 days in case you want to reactivate, then delete it permanently.
