A real website, not a free placeholder
Google Sites is free, but it's a barebones page builder with no menu parsing, weak SEO and limited custom-domain support — it looks like a placeholder, not a real restaurant website. Dinehere is €37/month (or €370/year — 2 months free), a proper business site: your menu AI-parsed from a photo, mobile-ready, SEO-structured, on your own subdomain, live in about 10 minutes. You pay for it, but diners get a real website instead of a basic page.
