JIGL · Cafes & Bakeries Web Design

Cafes & Bakeries websites that actually stack morning orders

No order-ahead link on the site, so the morning commuter who wanted a cortado and croissant grabs it at the chain two blocks away with the working app.

The usual problems

Why cafes & bakeries sites usually fail

  1. No order-ahead link on the site, so the morning commuter who wanted a cortado and croissant grabs it at the chain two blocks away with the working app.
  2. Your Instagram is gorgeous and your site doesn't show a single post of it. Visitors hit the homepage, see a 2022 header photo, and assume you've closed.
  3. The menu works on desktop and chokes on a phone, which is the only device 90% of your Sunday traffic is using.
What's included

What a JIGL cafes & bakeries site includes

Order-ahead widget

Square, Toast, or Clover order-ahead embedded above the fold with product imagery. The 8:12am commuter taps 'pickup in 10 min' and your morning revenue climbs.

Instagram feed live

Your most recent IG posts pull into the homepage automatically, proving you're open, you're baking today, and the scone in yesterday's story is probably still around.

Takeaway-first menu

A clean, tappable menu optimized for a thumb and a latte, categories fold into accordions, prices on every line, and a 'add to cart' button that actually works on an iPhone 12.

Allergen + dietary list

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and nut tags per item, parsed by Google so a '[gluten-free bakery near me]' search surfaces your croissant instead of the bigger chain.

Pickup-slot scheduler

Holiday pre-orders (Thanksgiving pies, Christmas cookies, Easter brunch boxes) slot into a real calendar instead of a flood of email replies your manager hand-sorts.

Mobile-first speed

Lighthouse 100 on a mid-range Android, because a bakery site that takes four seconds to load has already lost the coffee order to the app that didn't.

Target

Designed for cafes & bakeries outcomes like:

Design goal
41%
order-ahead tickets / 60d

Built to raise order-ahead tickets ~41% when the widget lives above the fold with product imagery instead of behind an order-online link.

FAQ

Cafes & Bakeries website questions

Can I use my existing Square or Toast account?
Yes. JIGL embeds your existing order-ahead inventory and menu, no migration, no dual-entry. Same with Clover, Heartland, or Revel.
What happens for holiday pre-order surges?
A dedicated pre-order page opens/closes on dates you set, with pickup-slot limits per hour so your kitchen isn't drowning at 10am on Thanksgiving eve.
Does the site handle wholesale / café accounts?
Yes. Wholesale inquiries get a separate intake form with volume, delivery-area, and invoicing fields, keeps them out of the retail order flow.
Can staff update the menu and today's specials?
Yes. Menu and specials live in plain content files anyone can edit. 'Today's specials' can also be wired to a simple admin page if you'd rather not touch files.
What does a cafe/bakery website cost?
Starter or Pro tier ($599–$999) for single-location cafes. Multi-location shops and full bakery/cafe hybrids with wholesale fall into Elite ($1,299).
How fast can I launch before a holiday push?
Two weeks end to end. If you want the Thanksgiving or Christmas pre-order push ready, kick off the brief at least five weeks ahead so slot logic gets real testing.
