keep it hosted and current. No $200 to $500 monthly rental, ever. Make
changes yourself or ask Maitre.

Run every location's site from a single login, and the more you bring
on, the less the yearly care costs on each. The build stays priced to
each site; the discount applies to care.

The build
Priced to your restaurant.
Every restaurant is different, so the build is scoped, not boxed.
Three things move the price:
01
Menu & pages
How much there is to build: menu size, number of pages, online ordering or reservations.
02
Photo & video
Whether we shoot on site, or build from photos you already have.
03
Brand & design
A full identity (logo, type, menu design), or a site on your existing brand.
The Essentials
$2,000–$3,000
A focused single-location site: your menu, your story, your photos, built fast and built to be found.
The Full Build
$3,000–$5,000
A bigger menu and more to show. We help with content and light brand work, and shoot if you need it.
The Works
$5,000+
On-site photo and video, a full brand and menu identity, multiple locations: the whole front of house.
Bigger restaurants (extensive menus, on-site capture, full brand
identity, multiple locations) run higher. We'll always scope it with
you first.
Own it, don't rent it
The math the rental crowd won't show you.

*Illustrative: a typical $2,000–$4,000 build plus $450/yr Care over three years, vs. a $200–$500/mo rental. Your build is priced to scope.
Your AI assistant, Maître, is included with Care. It runs on our own
local models, so there's no metered per-message billing and no
surprise overages. Changes you or Maître submit are reviewed and built
by our team before they go live, so nothing breaks. And every Care
plan includes your exit kit: leave whenever you want and we hand you
your full code.
Questions about pricing
How much does a restaurant website from Front of House cost?
The website is a one-time custom build from $2,000, priced to the size of your restaurant, and you own the code outright. After launch there is no monthly fee: a flat $450/year Care plan covers hosting, maintenance, and support.
Is there a monthly subscription for a Front of House website?
No. Unlike subscription website rentals that charge $200 to $500 a month, Front of House charges a one-time build fee plus a flat yearly Care fee of $450. You buy and own your site instead of renting it.
Do I own my restaurant website?
Yes. Front of House builds a real, custom website that you own outright. If you ever leave, we hand you your full code. Every Care plan includes an exit kit so you can take your site with you.
What is the difference between Care and Care+ plans?
Care ($450/year) covers hosting, security, backups, the Maitre AI assistant, team-handled changes, and an AEO foundation. Care+ ($900/year) adds ongoing AI-search content and articles, analytics and email capture, competitor insights, seasonal refreshes, and scheduled strategy time with our team.
How much does a restaurant website subscription cost compared to Front of House?
Subscription rental sites like Owner.com charge $200 to $500 per month, totaling $7,200 to $18,000 over three years. Front of House costs $3,350 to $5,350 over the same period (a one-time $2,000 to $4,000 build plus $450/year Care), and you own the code.
