How a Free Website Can Save You Thousands in Year One

Running a restaurant is tough—razor-thin margins, rising costs, and customers who expect more every day. You’ve probably thought about going digital, but the price tag on a custom website and ordering system might’ve stopped you cold. What if I told you that you could get all that for free for an entire year—and save thousands in the process? Here’s how a free website from Savvy Order Systems can transform your bottom line in just 12 months.

The Hidden Costs You’re Already Paying

Let’s start with the elephant in the room: third-party delivery apps. They’re convenient, sure, but they’re bleeding you dry. On average, platforms like Uber Eats or DoorDash charge 15-30% per order. If you’re pulling in $3,000 a month from delivery, that’s $450-$900 handed over to someone else. Over a year? You’re losing $5,400-$10,800—money that could’ve stayed in your pocket.

Then there’s the paper problem. Printing menus isn’t cheap—think $100-$300 every time you update prices or specials. Toss in a few reprints a year, and you’re out another $500-$1,000. And what about the customers you’re missing because your menu isn’t online? Studies show 20% of diners won’t order from a place they can’t browse digitally. For a small restaurant with $10,000 monthly sales, that’s $2,000 in lost revenue every month—$24,000 annually.

How a Free Website Flips the Script

Imagine this: a custom-built website, tailored to your restaurant, with online ordering and reservations baked in—all yours, free for a year. No catch, no commissions, just savings. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Slash Commission Fees: With your own ordering system, you keep 100% of every sale. That $5,400-$10,800 from delivery apps? It’s yours again.
2. Ditch Printing Costs: A digital menu updates instantly—no reprinting, no waste. Say goodbye to that $500-$1,000 hit.
3. Capture Lost Sales: Online visibility brings back that 20% of customers you’re missing. For our $10,000/month example, that’s $2,000 monthly—or $24,000 yearly—back in play.
4. Tap New Markets: A mobile-friendly site grabs on-the-go diners, like the 40,000 daily travelers on Interstate 70 near Terre Haute. Even 5 extra $25 orders a day adds $3,750/month—$45,000/year.

Add it up: a free website could save you $5,000-$10,000 in fees and unlock $24,000-$45,000 in new revenue. That’s a potential swing of $29,000-$55,000 in year one—without spending a dime upfront.

Why Free Makes Sense

You might be wondering, “What’s the catch?” There isn’t one. At Savvy Order Systems, we believe small restaurants deserve the same tech edge as the big chains. That’s why we’re offering this to just 5 Terre Haute restaurants—hand-picked partners we’re honored to work with. After year one, affordable plans kick in (starting at $99/month), but there’s no obligation to stick around. It’s your chance to test the waters and see the savings stack up.

The Bottom Line

A free website isn’t just a perk—it’s a profit machine. It cuts costs, boosts sales, and puts you in control. Why bleed money to third parties when you can keep it local and grow your business?
