Starting point

A website for a diner that runs on its menu board

A diner sells the same eleven things every day and needs them legible at a glance. What a diner owner gets from the website builder is a working photo-forward menu page, with a banner strip across the top for whatever changed this morning — so the first edit is a price, not a layout.

Built for a menu that does not change, and a special that does

The whole argument of a diner site is repetition: the same counter classics, priced, photographed, and easy to scan at 7am on a phone. So the menu is three plain sections — all-day breakfast, burgers and melts, shakes and pie — and the announcement bar above it is the one thing you edit daily. Four sample reviews sit under it — in the dining set only the Chinese restaurant, with six, ships more.

What the sample site comes with

Three menu sections holding eleven priced plates, an announcement bar, four written sample reviews, one discount code, and four pages.

Anything on that list that takes something from a visitor or reads from a live schedule — a form, a booking, a coupon code, a subscribe box, a class timetable, a listing fed by a collection — goes online with Storefront Pro. Storefront publishes the rest of the page exactly as you built it; where this template gives one of those a page of its own, that page is the one that waits for the upgrade.

What the site covers

4 pages included

What is in scope, and what stays in your own systems

There is no table plan and no waitlist in this one — it assumes people walk in and sit down. Prices and photos are sample content, and the announcement bar is a text field you keep up to date by hand.

Every count and price on this page was read out of the template itself rather than written by hand, which is why the numbers match the site you actually get.

What you get when you publish it

Questions people actually ask

The description calls this a reviews wall. What ships in it?

Four sample reviews, each with an author, a star rating and the text — more than any other dining start point except the Chinese Restaurant, which ships six. They render on the homepage under "The regulars will tell you", sitting between the menu section and the day-and-night diptych. Reviews are structured content rather than page text, so you edit them in one place and every design style shows them; switching styles rebuilds the layout and brings the reviews across unchanged.
