Restaurant website design that keeps the order — and the customer.
Your food earns the order. Then a delivery app takes 15–30% of it and keeps the customer's name and number for itself. I build restaurant websites you own — menu, photos, fast on a phone, found on Google — with commission-free online ordering set up right on your own site, so the order and the customer both stay yours.
What a restaurant website designer actually owes you
A restaurant website has one job before anything else: when somebody hungry looks you up, it shows the menu, the hours, and the phone number fast, on the phone in their hand. I build restaurant websites custom-coded — no page-builder bloat, no monthly plugin bills, no template that looks like ten other places in town. Fast, clean, and readable one-handed at a red light.
It's the same way I built my own auto shop's site, dasgas.com, which scores 100/100 on Google's SEO and best-practices audits. A site built right is how an owner-run place gets found — "restaurant near me," your town, your dish — across Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Culpeper, Orange, and the rest of the I-95 and Route 3 corridor.
Commission-free online ordering, set up on your own site
Here's the math nobody at the delivery apps wants on a whiteboard: a third-party app takes 15–30% of every order, and a full-service kitchen keeps 3–9% of revenue. On a lot of delivery tickets the app makes more than you do — on food you cooked, for a customer you'll never hear from again, because the app keeps their name and number.
So I set up ordering right on your own site: order-ahead, pickup, your menu, your prices. You keep the ticket minus normal card fees, and you keep the customer's contact info — the part that lets you win them back. This isn't a piece of software I'm reselling you; it's the done-for-you local setup, wired into your site and tested before it goes live. Keep the apps for people discovering you if you want — the point is to stop paying a third of the ticket on the regulars you'd have kept anyway.
The website is one piece of the bigger picture. The whole restaurant operation is on my <a href="/restaurants">restaurants page</a>, and getting found in local search is its own job — that's <a href="/get-found-online">get found online</a>.

What you get
Common questions
Do I actually own the website, or am I renting it from you?
You own it — the site, the domain, and the customer and order data that runs through it. Anything ongoing, like a care plan, is month-to-month with no annual contract, so you can cancel anytime and keep what's yours. I build it; it belongs to you.
How is ordering on my own site different from being on a delivery app?
The app owns the customer, keeps their contact info, and takes 15–30% of every order. Ordering on your own site keeps the customer list, the relationship, and the whole ticket minus normal card fees. Most restaurants run both — the apps for people discovering you, direct ordering for the regulars — so you stop paying a third of the ticket on orders you'd have gotten anyway.
