Pick the plan, then order

Every plan carries the same site, the same speed and the same 5 revisions. What changes is how much of the writing and the answering we take on for you.

Not sure which one? Book a 30 minute demo and we will read your current menu together first, or compare every line on the pricing page.

Each plan button opens a secure Stripe checkout for the monthly plan only. Paying a build fee we have invoiced you for? That has its own page.

What the fee actually buys

  1. 01Typeset menu pagesTasting menus, wine lists and a la carte set as structured text, not an image and not a download.
  2. 02The whole site, custom codedHome, menus, about, reservations, sub-niche pages and the article archive, written for your kitchen rather than filled into a template.
  3. 03Managed hosting and a domainSSL, a global delivery network, unmetered bandwidth and one domain registered in your name, all inside the monthly fee.
  4. 04Reservation and enquiry routingEnquiries land where you already work, connected to your reservation platform or CRM by API, Zapier or Make.
  5. 055 revisions every monthA full seasonal changeover counts as one, not one per dish. Returned in 2 to 5 working days.
  6. 06Researched articles, every week2 to 3 a week at 2,500 to 3,200 words, published to your own archive.
  7. 07A client portal from day oneSend a menu change, raise a ticket, see what is in the queue and talk to the team in one place.

What happens after you order

  1. Day 0

    You place the order

    Your first month of the plan is charged by card through Stripe, and the plan renews monthly from that date. The $647 build fee is not taken at checkout and, on an order placed before Thursday December 31 2026, is not taken later either.

  2. Day 0

    The onboarding form arrives

    About 15 minutes of answers. Anything you do not have to hand can follow by email without holding the build.

  3. Day 1

    One call, about 30 minutes

    We read your current menu together, agree the pages and fix the launch date. No slides.

  4. Day 7

    The site goes live

    7 days from onboarding on The Folio. You approve it before it points at your domain, and the weekly rhythm of revisions and articles starts the same week.

What we need from you

  • Your current menus, in whatever form they exist. A photograph of a printed card is enough to start.
  • Opening hours, the address, and how you take reservations today.
  • Any photography you own the rights to. If you have none, we set the pages so type carries them.
  • Access to your current domain, or nothing at all if you want us to register one.
  • The inbox enquiries should reach, and the reservation platform they should connect to.

And what you do not

You do not need finished photography, a brand guide, a written menu description for every dish, or an afternoon in a page builder. If a piece is missing on the day we start, the build runs without it and the piece slots in as a revision later.

You also do not need to move anything yourself. If a site already exists, we migrate the pages worth keeping and redirect the rest, so a search result that worked last week still works the day after launch.

The terms, before you order rather than after

What you pay today
The first month of your plan, from $117, paid by card through Stripe when you order. The plan is a monthly subscription and renews on the same date each month. Nothing else is charged.
The build fee
$647, waived on orders placed before Thursday December 31 2026. Outside that window it is invoiced only after the site is live and you have approved it, never up front.
Revisions
5 a month, no size limit on a single request, returned in 2 to 5 working days. Each additional one is a flat $20.
Cancellation
By email, at least 2 business days before your next invoice date, during business hours of 9:00 to 17:00 Central, Monday to Friday.
Refunds
All sales are final, except a duplicate or incorrect charge reported within 30 days. The refund policy says so in full.
The domain
Registered in your name and free for as long as the plan runs. If you leave, we transfer it to you at no charge.

In full: the refund and cancellation policy, the terms and conditions and the privacy policy.

Honestly, the redesign was nice, but the inquiry form is what changed our day-to-day. It asks for visit date, party size and menu interest before anything is sent, which is the information we used to chase by email. We answer properly on the first reply far more often than we used to.

Before you order

What exactly is waived, and until when?

The $647 one-time build fee. It is the charge for designing and building the site itself, and it is waived on any plan ordered before Thursday December 31 2026. The monthly plan fee is unchanged: the waiver is a discount on the build, not on the service.

Is anything charged before the site is live?

Yes, the first month of your plan. It is charged by card through Stripe when you order, because that is what starts the build, and the plan then renews monthly as a subscription. Nothing else is taken at checkout. Outside the waiver window the build fee is invoiced only after your site is live and you have approved it.

Which plan should I order?

The Folio if you want the site itself, fully managed, and that is all. The Broadside if you also want the AI Engine answering guest questions from your real menu. The Standing Order if you want the heaviest article and search program on top. You can move between plans by request through the client portal between billing periods.

How long until my site is live?

7 days from onboarding on The Folio, 10 on The Broadside and 15 on The Standing Order. The clock starts when the onboarding form is back with us, not when you order.

What if I do not like what you build?

You approve the site before it points at your domain. Changes before launch are part of the build, not revisions, so nothing about the launch version is final until you say it is. After launch, 5 revisions a month cover any change you want, returned in 2 to 5 working days.

Can I cancel later?

Yes. Email us at least 2 business days before your next invoice date, during business hours, and the plan stops at the end of the paid month. All sales are final, so the months already paid are not refunded, and the domain transfers to you at no charge.

Do I need to have my menu finished first?

No. Send what exists today, including a photograph of a printed card, and we set it. Menus change constantly in a chef-led kitchen, which is exactly why changing one is a revision rather than a project.

Who owns the site and the words on it?

You do. The domain is registered in your name, the menu text is yours, and the articles published to your archive are yours. MenuWebStudio LLC builds and runs the site; we are not a restaurant, a chef for hire, or a food safety, health or licensing authority.

No. 09 · The last line

The build fee comes off until Thursday December 31 2026

After that it returns to $647, invoiced after launch as it always has been. Plans start at $117 a month and the first site of the week goes live in 7 days.
