A restaurant site built for you, not by you
Sociavore is a Canadian restaurant builder from C$49/month that bundles ordering, reservations, and gift cards — but you still assemble and manage the site yourself. Dinehere is C$54/month (or C$540/year — 2 months free), with the website done for you — AI menu parsing from photos, a finished site in about 10 minutes, and no features to wire up that you don't need.
