You're running a food business.
Your online presence shouldn't look like a hobby.

Customers Can't Find You

You're relying on word-of-mouth and Instagram DMs. Meanwhile, people are Googling 'home cooked meals near me' and finding nothing.

You Need to Look Legit

You passed your health inspection and got your permit. Your online presence should reflect that same professionalism.

You're Leaving Money on the Table

The 90-meal-per-week cap means every customer matters. A website converts browsers into buyers 24/7.

Your Customers Are on Their Phones

They're searching for food nearby, checking menus, looking at photos. If you're not online, you don't exist.

Simple, transparent pricing.

We build it. You own it. Cancel the monthly plan anytime and keep your website forever.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a website if I already have Instagram?

Instagram is great for discovery, but it's not built for running a food business. You can't display a structured menu, show your permit status, or rank on Google. A website is your home base — Instagram drives traffic to it.

I just got my MEHKO permit. How fast can I get a site?

Most home food business websites are delivered in 7 days or less. We move fast so you can start reaching customers as soon as your permit is active.

What about Cottage Food Operations? Is this just for MEHKO?

We build for both MEHKO operators and Cottage Food producers (Class A & B). Whether you're selling meals or baked goods, jams, and granola — we've got you covered.

Do I own the website?

100%. You get full ownership of your site, your domain, and all your content. The optional $50/month covers hosting, updates, and support — but you can also self-host and handle costs yourself. Either way, the website is yours forever. No lock-in.

Can I update my menu after the site is built?

Yes. You'll have a simple way to update your menu items, photos, prices, and availability whenever you need to.

What do I need to get started?

Just your menu (what you sell and prices), some photos of your food, and a bit about your story. We handle everything else — design, development, domain setup, and launch.
