# Your café’s menu and hours, always up to date

A site with your menu, your hours and how to find you. When the soup changes or you close early, you tell your AI and the site changes.

- Menu and hours on one site
- Changes in one sentence
- Free at yourcafe.pagelemon.dev

## This is for you if you say

- "I run a café, and the menu changes with the season or the day."
- "People message to ask if we’re open, or what’s on today."
- "I want a simple site I can change from my phone between orders."

## The problem

Your menu lives on a chalkboard and your hours on a door sign. Online, an old menu or wrong hours sends people elsewhere, and updating a website feels like a job for later.

Tell your AI what changed, in the words you’d use with a colleague. Your menu is a list, so only those items change, and the site shows them in seconds without touching your design. Any change can be undone.

## How it goes

The example on the page: the Oat template (https://pagelemon.com/templates/#oat; live example https://pagelemon.com/tp/Oat).

1. You paste one line into your AI chat: `Build with PageLemon.com: a site for my café, with the menu, today’s specials and opening hours`. Your AI asks for your details.
2. Your AI builds these pages:
   - **Menu**: Drinks, food and prices as text, with dietary tags, readable on a phone.
   - **Today**: A short line for today’s special or the cake of the day.
   - **Visit**: Opening hours, address, a map link and step-free access.
   - **About**: Who you are, where the beans or the bread come from.
3. It's live at oat-cafe.pagelemon.dev/menu, and you run it from the chat. Page Lemon runs: Change it by asking, Your menu as a list, A free address, Visitor numbers.

## Start with one line

Paste one of these into your AI chat. Your AI asks for your details, builds the site and puts it online at a free address.

- `Deploy on PageLemon.com`: The quickest start: your AI asks what the site is for, picks a design and puts it online.
- `Build with PageLemon.com: a site for my café, with the menu, today’s specials and opening hours`: Your AI picks a café design, asks for your menu and hours, and puts the site online.
- `Use template pagelemon.com/tp/Oat for my neighbourhood café, with the menu and opening hours`: Starts from the Oat template: pale wood, airy, with menu and visit pages.

## Once it's live, ask your AI

- `Today’s soup is leek and potato, and we’re out of the banana bread`: Your AI changes the specials and takes the banana bread off the menu. Nothing else moves.
- `We close at 2 on Sunday this week`: The hours on the site show the early close for this Sunday.
- `Add the menu in Spanish too`: Visitors get a language switcher. Languages come with every plan, Free included.

## Questions

**Can I put up a photo of the menu instead?**
You can, but a menu written as text reads better on a phone, can be translated and shows up in search. Your AI can type it out from your photo.

**Can guests book a table?**
Bookings come with paid plans, each with a limit a day. For tables and staff, see [restaurant bookings](https://pagelemon.com/use-cases/restaurant-bookings).

**Can I take orders for collection?**
A form can take order requests, emailed to you, on a paid plan. To take payment on the site, add Buy buttons with your own Stripe Payment Links.

**How do I change the hours from my phone?**
Use the AI app on your phone, such as Claude or ChatGPT, once it’s connected to Page Lemon. Say what changed.
