1. Information We Collect

Business information: publicly available details about your restaurant — such as your menu, photos, hours, location, reviews, and links — that we gather to build your site.
Contact information: the name, email, phone number, and business details you give us when you request a demo, accept a quote, or communicate with us.
Account credentials you choose to provide: if you ask us to deploy to your own hosting or domain, any access tokens you provide are stored encrypted and used only to perform that deployment.
Payment information: payments are handled by Stripe. We receive confirmation and limited transaction details, but we do not collect or store your full card number.
Usage data: basic, standard server and analytics information (such as IP address and pages viewed) used to operate and improve our site and services.

2. How We Use Information

To communicate with you about demos, quotes, billing, and support.

We use Stripe to process payments. Your card details are submitted directly to Stripe and handled under Stripe's privacy policy and security standards. We never see or store your full card number.

4. Service Providers & Hosting

We rely on trusted third-party providers to operate — for example, Stripe for payments and cloud infrastructure providers (such as Cloudflare) for hosting and delivery. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to us.

5. We Don't Sell Your Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
