Web design and build for cafes and restaurants.
The version of web design and build that cafes and restaurants still use a year after launch.
Rosters that account for 11 public holidays, including Matariki, plus your anniversary day, without a spreadsheet.
What we keep hearing from NZ cafes and restaurants.
Hospitality runs on thin margins where a missed booking, a bad review left unanswered, or a slow roster costs real money.
Reservations, reviews, and rostering are the recurring admin that pulls owners off the floor.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Fast sites in New Zealand English, written for your towns and services, with enquiry forms that actually reach a person.
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
- Holidays Act until August 2028
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing cafes and restaurants the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

The shape of the result for cafes and restaurants: The repository is yours, and hosting stays in your account.

- Build on a stack you can host cheaply and edit safely
- Analytics and lead routing wired in from day one
- Performance budget enforced at launch and after
- No annual contracts
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
Straight answers
Anyone else in this space using web design and build?
Plenty. The repository is yours, and hosting stays in your account. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
What's a typical engagement length for cafes and restaurants?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
