Cafe websites for order ahead and order at the table

Let regulars order their coffee ahead for collection, let people order from their table by QR code, and show off your menu, all from a website you build in minutes and run from one dashboard.

Free to build and look around, no card needed.

Your website

What your cafe website does

Everything here is built in to every cafe website we make, and you can switch parts on or off from your dashboard.

  • Your menu, with a photo for every dish

    Sections, prices and V, VE and GF labels, plus choices with their own prices (size, milk, extras), and the 14 allergens UK law asks you to tell customers about, shown on each dish.

  • Order ahead for collection

    Customers order from your menu, pick their size, milk and extras, and collect from the counter. You choose whether you also deliver with your own riders.

  • Order at the table by QR code

    Each table gets its own QR sticker. Guests scan it, order from their phones in rounds, call for staff, water or the bill, and pay at the end. You choose how a table starts: staff confirm it, guests type a 4-digit table code, or staff open the table themselves.

  • Table bookings if you want them

    Prefer bookings to a shop page? Your front page can be "Book a table" with the menu to look at, for groups and busy weekends.

  • Fake-order protection

    Customers can sign in with a checked phone number, and risky orders are asked to pay online first or to call you, so you never cook for nothing.

  • Sold out in one tap

    Mark a dish sold out for the rest of the day or until you switch it back. Your website greys it out and will not take an order for it.

  • Orders only when you are open

    When your opening hours say the kitchen is closed, the website says so and tells customers when you open, instead of taking an order nobody will cook.

  • Ways to pay that suit you

    Cash, or card on your own card machine at the door or the counter. Paying online before delivery is available once your own Stripe account is connected.

  • Built for phones first

    Most people will find you on a phone, so every page is made for a phone screen first and then for laptops, with a light and a dark look.

  • Live chat on every page

    Visitors can ask a question from any page of your website, and the conversation comes into your Moon HQ inbox.

  • Your photos and your reviews

    A gallery of your own photos and a section for what customers say about you. The reviews on the demo are samples; on your site they are your own.

  • The areas you cover

    A list of the towns and districts you work in, so people nearby can see straight away that you cover them.

  • Set up for Google and AI assistants

    When your site goes live it gets page titles, a sitemap, structured data and an llms.txt, all built from what your site actually shows. We set this up properly for you; nobody can honestly promise a place on Google, and we do not.

  • Your own web address

    Use a domain you already own on any plan, or buy one from your dashboard (prices on our prices page).

The guide

What a cafe website needs, and how Moon does it

What a cafe website has to do

People check a cafe's website for the menu, the opening hours and whether they can order ahead. A Moon cafe website answers all three on the first screen of a phone, and lets regulars order their usual before they leave the house.

Order ahead, collect at the counter

Customers order from your menu, pick their size, milk and extras, and choose a time to collect. Every choice can have its own price, so oat milk or an extra shot adds up in the basket. The order arrives in Moon HQ for you to accept and mark ready.

If you also deliver with your own riders, customers can follow the delivery on a live map once the rider shares their location.

Order at the table by QR code

Each table gets a QR sticker. Guests scan it, order from their phone, ask for the bill from the same screen and pay at the end, so your staff spend less time taking orders and more time making them.

Your menu, kept up to date in seconds

Change dishes, prices, photos and allergens yourself and the website updates straight away. Sold out of the banana bread? One tap and it stops taking orders for it. Orders are only taken while you are open.

Starting from a paper menu? Take a photo of it and Moon SI turns it into your online menu for you to check.

Moon HQ

Run it all from one dashboard

Moon HQ is where you run your cafe business. A cafe website starts with these screens, and every other screen is one tap away.

  • Orders and kitchen screens

    New orders and table rounds arrive in Moon HQ. Accept them, then mark each one preparing, ready, and served or collected. Each dish can go to the kitchen screen or the bar.

  • Tables and QR codes

    A live map of your tables by area, showing new orders, staff calls and bills asked for. Print QR stickers or table cards on A4 in your own colours, and mark each bill paid.

  • Menu editor

    Change dishes, prices, photos, choices and allergens yourself, and the website updates straight away.

  • Customers

    Every customer and enquiry in one list, with their history, so nothing gets lost in a phone or an inbox.

  • Payments

    A record of what customers paid you and how.

  • Stats

    Who visits your website, where they come from and what they do there.

  • Google

    Where your business shows on Google and what to fix next, in plain words.

Questions cafes ask us

  • How much does a cafe website cost?

    Starter is £9.99 a month, Pro is £19.99 a month and Premium is £150 a month in the UK. Plans are monthly with no minimum term and no set-up fee, and building and looking around your website is free, with no card needed. Every price, extras included, is on moonwebsites.co.uk/prices.

  • Can customers order ahead and collect?

    Yes. They order from your menu on your website, choose size, milk and extras, and collect at the counter. The order comes into Moon HQ for you to accept and mark ready.

  • Can people order from their table?

    Yes. Each table has a QR sticker. Guests scan it, order from their phone and pay at the end, and they can call you over or ask for the bill from the same screen.

  • Can I charge for oat milk or an extra shot?

    Yes. Every dish or drink can have choices with their own prices, such as size, milk and extras, and the price adds up in the basket.

  • Can I take table bookings instead?

    Yes. You can set your front page to "Book a table" with your menu to look at, and switch online ordering on or off.

  • Can Moon SI set up my menu?

    Yes. Take a photo of your paper menu and Moon SI turns it into your online menu, with sections and prices, for you to check before it goes live.

  • Do I need to be good with computers?

    No. You answer a few questions at moonwebsites.co.uk/build (your business name, area, services and opening hours, plus a logo and photos if you have them) and see your cafe website straight away. Everything can be changed later from your dashboard, and our designs are made for cafes from the start.

  • Will this put me at the top of Google?

    Nobody can honestly promise that, and we do not. What we do is set your live site up properly: page titles, a sitemap, structured data built from what your site shows, and a Google screen in your dashboard that shows where you appear and what to fix.
