About GetCafeWebsite
GetCafeWebsite is a managed website service for independent cafes, coffee shops and bakeries in the United States. We design, build, host and keep your site current every week on one monthly plan, and the build fee is only charged after you have approved the live site.
What we actually believe about cafe websites
The daypart is the design brief
We start every build from how your day actually shifts, not from a generic restaurant template.
Speed is not optional
Every page is custom coded and measured against a 90+ PageSpeed target before it ships.
Managed means managed
A weekly check and a real revision process, not a one-time build handed off and forgotten.
How we work
One onboarding call, a build measured in days rather than months, weekly updates after launch, and revisions turned around in working days. Nobody at your business needs to log in and fix anything themselves; that stays with us.
What we are not
We are not a cafe, coffee shop, bakery or food business, and nothing on this site is food safety, allergen, licensing or nutrition advice. We build and run the website. Everything your customers rely on you for, the coffee, the bake, the counter itself, stays entirely with you.
What you can expect from us
The service standards every client gets, written down so you can hold us to them.
A person replies to email within one working day. Business hours are 9:00 to 17:00 Central Time, Monday to Friday.
A launch date agreed on your onboarding call: 7 days on Morning Shift, longer on plans with the AI or Content Engine.
5 revisions a month, each of any size, completed within 2 to 5 working days.
A weekly check of your site, so problems are found by us, not by your customers.
No build fee until you approve the site. The $647 build fee is invoiced after launch.
A client portal for every request, ticket and file, so nothing is lost in a text thread.
No food safety, allergen, licensing or nutrition advice from us or from any AI we set up for you.
Which policy and compliance pages come with your site?
Privacy policy, terms, a cookie policy with consent that really holds scripts back, and an accessibility statement. They help you meet common expectations for a US small business website. They are not legal advice, and no website provider can guarantee compliance for you.
Privacy policy
What your site collects through forms, chat and analytics, and how customers can ask about it, written with state privacy laws in mind.
Terms of use
The basic rules for your site, including how online order links and third-party platforms fit in.
Cookie policy with real consent
A consent banner that holds analytics and marketing scripts back until a visitor agrees, not one that just says it does.
Accessibility statement
How the site is built with the ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA in mind, and how someone can reach you if something does not work for them.
Text sign-up consent wording
Where you collect numbers for texts, consent wording written with the TCPA in mind, alongside the A2P 10DLC registration we file on AI plans.
Allergen-safe forms
Forms and AI answers never ask for or give allergy or health details; those questions go to a person at your shop.
Where do you build? Anywhere in the US
We build for independent cafes, coffee shops and bakeries in every state, working entirely online. Onboarding, the call and every revision happen online, so where your counter is never changes the timeline or the price. What changes is the local trade the site is written for.
- California from specialty roasters in Los Angeles and the Bay Area to Central Valley bakeries
- Texas kolache and breakfast-taco counters, Austin coffee bars, Houston boba shops
- Florida Cuban cafecito windows, beach-town cafes and year-round tourist trade
- New York bagel shops, bodega-sized espresso bars and neighborhood bakeries
- Illinois Chicago cafes and bakeries that live through a real winter season
- Washington drive-thru espresso stands and the roaster scene around Seattle
Your own neighborhoods, towns and delivery areas get their own pages on your site, written for the searches people there actually make. This site has no state pages of its own, on purpose: a page is only worth publishing when it says something real.
Who writes and edits here
Two editorial personas, not licensed food service professionals, cover the blog and the guidance written across this site.
Ines Calloway
Cafe Website Strategist, Portland, OR
Ines spent seven years building ordering and menu systems for independent coffee shops before moving into web strategy, and still opens with the morning crew at a roastery two mornings a week. She writes about the parts of a cafe website that change by the hour: the menu, the queue, and what a phone shows someone standing on the sidewalk. She is a fictional persona and holds no food service license.
Desmond Okri
Bakery Operations Editor, Austin, TX
Desmond worked the front counter and the books at a family bakery for a decade before writing full time, and edits every piece here for whether it would actually survive a 5am proof list and a rush at 8. He covers the operational side of a bakery or cafe website: what has to be true before launch, what a revision actually costs in time, and how a small team keeps a site current without adding a job to the schedule. He is a fictional persona and holds no food service or health license.
Why the plans are priced the way they are
Plans start at $117 a month because a managed website is an ongoing job, not a one-time purchase. Morning Shift covers a fully managed site. Full Shift adds a tool for answering routine visitor questions. Open to Close adds a heavier content schedule for shops that want the most published every week. The build fee is separate and comes only after you have approved the finished site.
Questions about GetCafeWebsite
Who is GetCafeWebsite?
GetCafeWebsite is a managed website service that builds and runs websites for independent cafes, coffee shops and bakeries in the United States. You pay one monthly plan; we handle the design, hosting, domain, weekly updates and the optional AI and Content Engines.
Are you a cafe or a food business?
No. We are not a cafe, coffee shop, bakery or food business, and nothing on this site is food safety, allergen, licensing or nutrition advice. We build and run the website; the coffee, the bake and the counter stay entirely yours.
Where are you based, and do you work with shops in my state?
We work entirely online and build for independent shops in every state. Our business hours run on Central Time, and our terms are governed by the laws of Texas. Where your counter is does not change the timeline or the price.
Who will I actually deal with?
The team that builds your site also maintains it. Requests go through your client portal or email and are handled by a person, not an automated queue. The AI features you can add answer your customers, never your support requests.
Who writes the articles on your blog and on client sites?
Articles are researched and written by our editorial team. On this site they are bylined to two editorial personas, which the author pages state openly are fictional and hold no food service licence.
Why do you charge the build fee after launch?
Because the risk of a build that does not deliver should sit with us. You approve the live site first; then the one-time build fee is invoiced.
Are the reviews on your site real?
Yes. Every review and case study comes from a real client who agreed to be quoted. Client businesses are described by type and city rather than named, and we never show star ratings or review counts we cannot back up.
What happens to my site if you stop working with me?
Your domain is registered in your name and is transferred to you at no charge, and your content and articles are exported to you within 14 days. The design and code we built stay ours, which the terms state plainly.
Talk to a person before you decide
A live demo or a direct email, whichever you prefer.
