The Empire
Noah Jacobs · American Fork, Utah

A website for your cafe in American Fork, built before we talk.

Your drinks and pastries, morning hours, order ahead, and a punch card on their phone. Free to see. Yours if you like it.

No build fee. First month free if I run it for you. Already have a good website? Then I build you the app.

What a cafe gets.

Your real menu, your photos, your name. Built to be read on a phone, because that's where your customers look.

Order ahead, skip the line.

Regulars order from the car and pick up at the counter. The order comes to you, not to an app that takes a cut.

Ten drinks, one free.

A digital punch card instead of the paper one. It fills up on their phone, one more reason to pick you on the way to work.

Today's hours and specials, one tap away.

The menu, the hours, the seasonal drink, and directions, all readable on a phone.

In American Fork.

American Fork is my own town. Main Street still has its old storefronts, and the newer places run along State Street and out toward the freeway. If you're here, we're neighbors.

Simple. Monthly. Cancel any time.

The demo is free to keep, code and all. These are the prices if you'd rather I run it for you.

For a cafe the punch card is usually the whole point.

A website. Or your own app.

This one is a restaurant in Springville. A cafe gets the same design with your drinks and pastries instead of a dinner menu. Scroll and tap inside either one; nothing here is live.

One person, here in town.

I'm Noah Jacobs. I live in American Fork, studied engineering at Penn, and have spent more than ten years writing software at a Fortune 100 company. I love small businesses, and I'm tired of watching good ones lose customers to a site nobody can read on a phone, or to delivery apps that take a third of every order.

So I build the thing first and let you decide. Where it's possible, it hooks up to the ordering or register you already use. If it doesn't earn its keep, you stop paying and keep your domain.

Questions owners ask.

Can people order ahead?

Yes. Ordering is built in, and the order comes to you. Where it's possible, it hooks up to the register you already use.

We already have a paper punch card.

This is the same card on their phone. It can't get lost in a wallet, and you get a list of your members.

Do I pay anything to see it?

No. I build it first, from what's public about your business. If you like it, it's yours; the code is yours for free if you want it.

What does it cost if you run it?

A website is $40 a month. A loyalty program adds $10, your own app on the App Store and Google Play adds $50, or everything for $75. First month free, no build fee, cancel any time. You cover your own domain name, about $12 a year, and it stays yours.

What if I already have a website?

Then I build you your own app with a loyalty program instead, in your name on the App Store and Google Play, and leave your site alone.
