This is yours already. Prove it.

Fadario is a dark room with a cobalt blue that belongs to a tile rather than a logo. Yours might be white tile and morning light, or brass and candles, or something nobody has built yet.

This is the product, not a picture of it. Left, the live site. Right, the builder’s own Theme panel. Everything you press takes effect immediately, nothing persists, and there is no sign-in wall in front of it. Go on.

Every page, as it publishes

6 pages, and every one of them is here. What follows is the site itself rather than pictures of it. The same engine that publishes a live restaurant is drawing it here, links and all. The Phone toggle shows the small-screen version.

What kind of restaurant this is

A Portuguese dining room has one of the clearest visual vocabularies in Europe available to it and almost always overuses it. This design takes a single element — a tile blue — and leaves the rest alone, which lets the reference land without the page turning into a souvenir.

The opening leads with what is open by the glass, which for a wine-led room is both the most useful and the most inviting first screen. A guest deciding on a Tuesday evening wants to know what is being poured, not what the room looks like.

Pulling the home page apart

Eight blocks, arranged around the cellar:

• Hero — Big opening image, name & buttons, in the By the Glass treatment: Three open bottles ruled above the cellar band.
• Announcement — Slim notice bar at the top.
• Signature dish — One dish, full screen — name, story, price.
• Menu preview — A few dishes on a sliding rail.
• Values — Three guiding values.
• Text + image — A paragraph beside a photo.
• Reviews — Guest quotes with stars.
• Call to action — Headline + button band.

The menu page, and why it is text

This template uses the Rails layout — each section becomes a horizontal strip that swipes on a phone, so twenty dishes take the room of four. The rail layout gives each section a swipeable strip, which suits a menu of many small plates designed to be shared alongside wine.

The drinks list has its own structure — producers, regions, by the glass or bottle — rather than being appended to the food. Both are structured text, so a search for a producer or a dish can land on the right page.

Any of the layouts leaves the substance intact: real text for every dish, description and price, marked up as Restaurant data rather than published as an image.

Ordering that works like the apps — without the commission

This is the part worth pressing. Fadario uses the Roomy rows ordering layout — the basket sits beside the menu rather than beneath it, so a table watches the bill build as they choose. The split layout keeps the basket beside the list, which suits an order that fills with several plates and a bottle and needs a visible total.

Options are inline, the basket becomes a pinned bar on a phone, and Payment goes into your own Stripe account at 0% commission from us. Stripe’s standard card-processing fees apply to online payments.

The form adapts to the mode. Eating in? A table number. Collecting? A phone number. Delivery? An address. Nothing more is demanded.

Story, visit, and the practical pages

The story page carries the room, the cellar and the chef, with a timeline, an interview and a gallery. The events page handles the wine dinners and tastings a cellar-led room runs monthly.

Send a photograph, get a structured menu

This is the part that saves an afternoon. Take a picture of the menu you already have: the pressed card, the board behind the pass, a PDF from the printer. Back comes the whole menu as data: ordered sections, named dishes, their descriptions and prices, plus dietary and spice marks wherever the card showed them. Check it over — a smudged price or an ambitious accent is a two-second fix — and save.

What arrives is not a picture of a menu — it is real data. One menu then feeds the menu page, the ordering page, the highlights on the home page and the Restaurant structured data a search engine reads. Change a price once afterwards and all of them follow.

The search copy gets the same treatment: a Write with AI button reads the page and drafts its title and description, so those fields are never blank. Nothing is published on your behalf; the draft waits for you.

Ten minutes to live — and taking bookings

There is no build phase to wait through. Structure, styling and behaviour are done. Names, dishes and pictures are yours. Reckon on ten minutes to a published site, and reservations working from that same moment. Bookings land in your TableSpark inbox, and the guest gets a confirmation email straight away.

Taking money is a single connection: link Stripe and deposits on tables and payment on orders go straight to your own account. There is no cut for us — 0% commission on every plan. Stripe’s standard card-processing fees apply to online payments. Nobody else charges anything.

Run it on your own domain

A domain is signage, and signage matters. Nothing about going live depends on owning a domain first; connect yours later and the site simply answers to it.

The plumbing is ours: certificate, secure connection, redirect, and keeping canonical URLs, sitemap and robots pointing at the live address as the domain changes. Own it already? Good. The instruction is a single record, spelled out.

Every booking sends an email — in your colours

A confirmed booking is not the end of the conversation; it is the start of one. A confirmation is sent the second the booking lands, carrying the time, the covers, your address and contact details, and a self-service cancellation link. The same system sends the reminder before service, the deposit receipt and the cancellation notice.

The whole thing is yours to set, down to the sign-off. Six looks, one accent colour, your logo and cover photograph, the header layout, the sign-off line, and whichever links and social accounts you want on it. Add your domain and the from-line is yours too — the last detail that separates a real restaurant email from a system notification.

The email below is being generated live by the same code that sends it for real. Try the templates and the accent colours.

What you control

• Yours from the first minute: names, headings, body copy, pictures, dishes, prices, opening times, the address, and every colour and typeface.
• Kept for you: everything that has to keep working at 200 dishes, at 390 pixels wide, and after you have changed every colour in the theme.
• Never locked: change the order of anything, remove whatever you do not want, add modules from the full library, and add or delete pages at will.

Findable, not merely online

Putting a page online is not the same as delivering a restaurant site that search engines can reliably discover and understand. A misconfigured robots file, a noindex left in place, canonical tags in conflict, pages with no internal links, a PDF menu, missing Restaurant schema or incomplete verification — any one is enough to keep a live site invisible. You feel it in the margin — guests reach commission-charging platforms first, and demand you should own outright becomes demand you rent.

This template ships with that work done. No one can promise rankings or guaranteed indexing — but nothing here is left for you to hire a technician to assemble.
