For cafés & coffee shops · Midlands

They check you're open before they leave the house.

I build café sites around the three things every customer wants to know: are you open, what's on, can I order. Then I take the admin behind those answers off your plate.

01 · the site

What good looks like for a café.

This is Beck & Beans, a village café concept I built to show the standard. Hover it and it browses itself.

  • 01Hours on the homepage and the footer. The first thing people check, and the fastest way to lose them when it's wrong.
  • 02The menu as a real page. PDFs are miserable on a phone, and Google can't read a word of your dishes.
  • 03Order ahead on your own site. Click and collect that keeps the app's cut in your till.
  • 04Reviews with names and words. Star counts wash past; a named regular saying the flat white's worth the detour doesn't.

Beck & Beans is a concept, not a real business. Yours gets built on your coffee, your room, your prices.

03 · the other half

The jobs you still do by hand.

A site gets you found. These five eat your afternoons, and every one of them is a small build. Ask any café owner which they did after close last night.

1

Hours and menu, typed five times

Today

New summer hours? You change the door, the site, Google, Instagram and the chalkboard. Miss one, and someone drives over to find you shut. Wrong info online quietly costs custom.

What I'd build

One place to edit. The site renders hours and menu from a single source, and Google gets pushed the same answer, so nothing drifts out of date.

The PDF menu

Today

It's a download, it's sideways on a phone, and search engines can't read a word of it. Nobody searching for lunch near them is finding your focaccia.

What I'd build

A real menu page, generated from the same source as job one, with dietary flags built in and a print stylesheet for the counter copy.

Order-ahead, minus the commission

Today

The apps charge for demand you already own. Uber Eats' published UK rate is 30% on app delivery orders, 13% on pick-up.* For regulars ordering the same flat white every morning, that's rent.

What I'd build

Commission-free ordering wired into your own site through an engine like Storekit or Slerp, plus a proper catering enquiry form: date, headcount, deposit link.

The paper stamp card

Today

Nine stamps, free coffee, and zero idea who your regulars are. When someone drifts away you never find out, so you can't win them back.

What I'd build

A digital stamp card that lives in their phone wallet, no app to download, with a friendly nudge to leave a Google review a few stamps in.

Natasha's Law labels

Today

Anything packed before order needs a full ingredients label with allergens flagged. In most cafés that lives in someone's head, or a folder nobody quite trusts.

What I'd build

A small recipe app that prints compliant labels and feeds the menu's allergen info from the same data. Change the pesto, both update.

04 · what it costs

Priced like a bill you can plan.

Most cafés take the subscription: nothing upfront, one monthly amount, and the website stops being your problem.

Starter
£149/mo
Nothing upfront · 12-month term

The café site done properly. Hours, menu, reviews, find-us, hosting, changes and care, bundled.

Start with Starter
Rather pay once? Builds start at £595 with care plans from £49 a month. The full ladder is on the pricing page, and I'll always tell you if the smaller option fits.

Your best regulars walked past once. The next ones will check first.

Fifteen minutes on the phone and I'll tell you what I'd build, what it costs, and whether it's worth doing at all. If your current site just needs its hours fixing, I'll say so.
