Why are we here?
We love great restaurants and fabulous food! Many of our favorite restaurant owners obsess over the entire dining experience, starting from the moment you enter their restaurant.
The problem was that our dining experience always started by pulling out our phone trying to look up the restaurant's website. Unfortunately most restaurant websites just don't work on a phone - they often miss key information, have outdated PDF menus, and sometimes don't even load. We wanted to change all that and give restaurants a website that shows off their beautiful food.
We're building Appetas to target restaurant owners' needs by making it incredibly simple to create a beautiful restaurant website that looks amazing on all devices. The whole process is designed to take only minutes from start to finish. Afterwards, the owner themselves can keep the site up-to-date and drive traffic. In short, restaurants will attract more customers by having a fantastic site that starts a great dining experience from the time you pull out your phone.
