Your Restaurant Menu may be a new name, but servicing restaurants is nothing new to us. JEM Software has been working with restauranteurs for over a decade, designing websites and providing online ordering systems. The restaurant menu design segment of the JEM Software business portfolio was spun off to become part of Your Restaurant Menu, but we're certainly not new to helping the restaurants of Windsor and region.
We believe the true value of a website is to advertise your brand. Having a domain name of your own says something about your commitment, and when someone finds your Google profile and clicks on the "Website" link, it lends you more credibility when the resultant page is your own domain, and not simply a page on Facebook or Instagram. There's nothing wrong with those platforms, but they are called Social Media for a reason. They aren't meant to be used instead of your dedicated sales-oriented website.
When we are asked to create a website for clients, we try to keep things simple. People generally visit your site to order food or make a reservation, and while a few photos of your specialty dishes might help entice the undecided to give you a try, they are already on your site, so there's not much need to continue your marketing pitch. There are exceptions, such as venues that offer space for large events and want to give visitors an idea of the ambiance of the place. But the typical restaurant doesn't need to go to the trouble and expense of having an elaborate site.
That's not to say we can't create a site that is more than just a landing page and a few short pages of content. But our founding principle has been to save restauranteurs money, so if you want a really fancy site, have a professional artist create your masterpiece, then come to us to integrate your online ordering capability.
