A Smarter Way to Build Restaurant Apps

Describe your restaurant in plain English. Instance turns it into an installable Progressive Web App with menus, ordering or booking forms, hours, and location—ready to publish.

Natural language input

Share cuisine, locations, opening hours, and the actions you want (order, book, call).

Menu-first layout

Beautiful menu sections with categories, highlights, dietary tags, and add-ons.

Ordering & reservations

Create validated order or table request forms with a clear confirmation state.

Location & hours

Map, directions, hours, and “call now” actions built in for quick access.

Clean, responsive code

Production-ready React + TypeScript with Tailwind; fast on any device and exportable.

Installable PWA

Guests can add your app to their home screen for one-tap reorders and bookings.

How It Works

1. Describe your restaurant

Tell us your concept, menu structure, service options (dine-in, pickup, delivery), and goals.

2. Instance builds your app

Get a branded, mobile-first app with menu, ordering/booking forms, hours, map, and CTAs.

3. Publish & iterate

Go live in minutes, then update items, prices, photos, and specials via prompts or visual editing.

Why Choose Instance for Restaurant Apps?

Give guests a fast, friction-free way to view your menu and take action—order, book, or call—while you keep everything easy to update.

Beyond templates

Layouts adapt to your concept—quick-serve, café, fine dining, food truck, or multi-location.

Developer-friendly

Export the full React/TypeScript code to add payment APIs, POS hooks, or loyalty later.

Content intelligence

AI drafts dish blurbs, dietary notes, and CTAs that nudge guests to order or book.

Performance-minded

Fast, accessible UI with optimized images—ideal for mobile and spotty connections.

Easy publishing

One-click deploy, custom domains, and PWA install—no app store submission required.

Responsive by default

Looks great on phones guests use at the table, on the sidewalk, or on the couch.

Continuous iteration

Update menu items, prices, or hours in seconds—no redeploy cycles or plugins.

Data-ready

Store form submissions in the built-in database now; connect CRM or email after export.

Built to turn cravings into checkouts

Make the menu effortless to browse, highlight best-sellers and specials, and give guests a clear path to order or reserve—right from their phone.

Why it works

  • Menu-first: Clear categories, tags, and add-ons reduce friction and questions.
  • Rapid updates: Change items or availability on the fly when inventory shifts.
  • Realistic previews: Instantly see how your app looks on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
  • Always live: Publish once and keep improving with zero downtime.
Result: more orders and bookings with less app-building overhead.

Instance vs. restaurant app builders

Instance
App builders

  • From description to app

    Generate a menu, ordering/booking, hours, and map in seconds.

    Template assembly

    Pick modules and tweak screens for hours before anything works.

  • Menu-first structure

    Categories, dietary tags, and add-ons are pre-optimized for clarity.

    Generic layouts

    One-size screens that bury what diners need most.

  • Content intelligence

    AI helps write dish blurbs and CTAs that guide guests to action.

    Manual copywriting

    Replace lorem ipsum and hand-tune every label yourself.

  • Clean, exportable code

    React + TypeScript with Tailwind; add payments/POS after export.

    Closed systems

    Limited control, vendor lock-in, and messy underlying markup.

  • Flexible editing

    Prompt or use visual editing; rollback safely with history as you test.

    Rigid editors

    Edits constrained by template boundaries and widget options.

  • Installable PWA

    Guests add to home screen—no app store friction or approvals.

    App store overhead

    Packaging, submissions, and versioning slow you down.
