Restaurant websites, done for you
A website as good as your food.
Built from your menu, your photos, your reviews. You see the real thing free, before you pay a cent.
01 · The work
No two alike. Yours included.
Every site is one idea, carried through every page. Open them and click around: menus, galleries, ordering, all of it works.
Fictional sample brands, built end to end by Ahead Kitchen. Every page works. Yours is built from your real restaurant.
02 · Before / after
The walk-in, then the plate.
Each frame starts as the template site every builder hands out — a stock hero, a PDF menu, nothing to tap. Keep scrolling and watch ours slide in over it. The befores are illustrative mocks; the afters are live on this page.
-
Same restaurant. The template buries the menu in a PDF; ours puts tacos on the screen and an order button in reach. Open the live site ↗
-
"Call for current offerings" becomes seasonal menus on the page, photos that load, and a reserve link that works. Open the live site ↗
Before sides are illustrative mocks for the same fictional brands, not real businesses. The gap is the point: that is the site your customers meet today vs. the one we hand you.
03 · Your dashboard
You run it from your phone.
Every site comes with this: reservations and catering requests land in your inbox, menu edits go live in minutes, and you pick the look. Try the real thing, right here.

08 · Straight answers
Ask anything.
What does it cost?
One simple plan: $89 a month at the founder rate ($149 regular), with no setup fee and no contract. Cancel anytime. We show you a free demo of your real site before you decide, so you only pay if you love it.
Do I have to do anything?
Almost nothing. We build your site from what's already public about your restaurant: your menu, photos, hours, and reviews. There's nothing to upload, design, or build. You just look at the demo and tell us what to tweak.
Can I edit my menu?
Yes. You get a simple self-serve editor to change prices, add or remove dishes, and pull a sold-out special right from your phone, and changes go live in minutes. For anything bigger, email us and a real person handles it.
Do you keep it updated?
We do. Beyond your own edits, we refresh your site every quarter, re-scanning your presence for new photos, seasonal dishes, hours, and reviews so it never goes stale. It's included in hosting.
Do I own my site and domain?
Yes. We set it up on your own domain with HTTPS, and you keep the rights to your content. If you ever cancel, ask us and we'll provide an export of your site's static files that you can host anywhere. We never hold your site hostage.
How fast can I be live?
We can show you a real demo of your own site within a day or two. Once you approve it, going live is fast, usually the same week.
What if I don't like the demo?
Then you owe nothing. The demo is a real, custom site built for your restaurant and it's completely free to see. You only become a customer if you love it, and even then there's no contract, so you can cancel anytime.
What if I change my mind after paying?
Your first month is charged upfront when you start. Still, if you change your mind within your first 30 days, email us and we'll refund your most recent monthly payment. The full policy is in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
I signed up in person. Can I cancel?
Yes. If you start a plan during an in-person visit from us, you have a 3-business-day right to cancel, no questions asked. Email support@aheadkitchen.com within three business days and we'll cancel the order and refund any payment in full.
Is the demo really free?
Yes. Requesting and viewing a demo costs nothing and creates no obligation. No card is required to see it. You only start a plan if you decide to go ahead.
