Per Diem's Restaurant Website Builder lets you create a branded landing page without coding. Use the AI Setup Wizard to generate a draft from your business details, then customize it with drag-and-drop editing. The site sits in front of your ordering flow on a Per Diem subdomain or custom domain, and you can regenerate the AI draft up to five times per day.

Your ordering page gets customers to checkout, but what tells them your story? The website builder lets you build a full landing page right on top of your ordering flow. An About Us, FAQs, Contact, Menu Highlights, and a Hero section, all in one place. It gives you a complete online presence. Well beyond just an "Order Now" button, you can introduce your brand, to tell your story, show off what makes you unique, and answer your customers' common questions, all while keeping the ordering flow just one click away. It helps your SEO, it builds trust, and it gives customers a reason to bookmark and share your site. In short, a real website without hiring a developer or juggling a second platform. Here's how you build it. One. Go to Website Builder in your dashboard, under Sales Channels, and make sure the Website Builder toggle is on. 2. Use the AI Setup Wizard. Give it a short prompt about your business, your vibe, what you sell, what you wanna highlight, and it generates a draft site with sections already filled in: hero, FAQ, menu, contact, and more. 3. Refine that draft in the built-in editor. Tweak the text, swap images, and rearrange or add sections—it's all drag and drop. 4. Click Save Draft to keep your changes, then Publish to make it live. Your site goes live at your Web Ordering URL, or your own custom domain if you've set one up. A few handy details worth knowing: If you want a fresh start, "Regenerate with AI" in website settings reruns the wizard and creates a brand new draft. You get up to 5 AI generations per store, per day. The website active toggle turns your site on or off. Switch it off and visitors are redirected straight to ordering. Your content is saved, just not visible. And remember, your edits stay a draft until you hit publish. If you don't see a change on the live site, it's usually just browser caching. Open the site in an incognito window to confirm it's live. So how does it fit with everything else? Your website lives at the same domain as your web ordering, your Per Diem subdomain, or your custom domain. It's the front door. Customers land on your branded site first, then click through to order. The mobile app is separate, it opens straight to the menu and order flow, but both share the same brand, logo, colors, and fonts you set in your dashboard. That's the website builder. A full branded website and your ordering flow, together in one place. Link below to see it live.
