Are you open yet?

Your regulars know your hours. The person who just moved in down the street doesn't, and at 7:40 on a Sunday they're checking their phone to see if you're open yet, or if you close at 2 or at 4.

Most cafés keep the hours on Google, the drinks on a chalkboard and the news on Instagram, and after the summer hours change, none of them agree. Someone who walks over to a locked door may not try again.

A café website has one job, every morning: say whether you're open, what's on, and how to get there. Suddn puts your hours first and works out Open now for you, so the answer is right without you touching it.

What a café menu looks like

Tamarack Coffee is an example café menu. Each item has one price, so sizes and milk options go in the line under the name. For a live example, open Parkside Coffee, an example café in the Morning theme.

Hours people can trust

Enter one opening per day and your website shows today's hours and Open now on its own. When the season changes, edit the hours from your phone: every save is live straight away.

For the exceptions, use the notice line at the top: "Closing at 1 today for a private event" or "Closed Monday for the holiday". Clear it when the day is over.

Catering and big orders, by text

Offices order coffee boxes, families order trays for the weekend. Cafés don't get a quote form on Suddn, so those requests come by phone or text: the Call button is always there, and you can turn on the Message button. Only turn it on if your number can receive texts.

Add a question like "Do you cater meetings?" to your Questions section, with how much notice you need. Then print a QR code for the counter, so people waiting for a latte can save your website for next time.

Questions from café owners

Can my website show if we're open right now?

Yes. Your website shows today's hours and Open now, worked out from the hours you enter. You don't need to touch it each morning.

We change our hours in summer and winter. Is that a hassle?

No. Change the hours from your phone in the dashboard and the website updates the moment you save. During the switch week, a notice line at the top can say "Winter hours start Monday".

How do I show drink sizes and milk options?

In the line under each drink. Each item has one price, so a latte can show $5.25 with "12 oz $5.25, 16 oz $5.95, oat milk +$0.75" underneath.

Can customers order ahead on my website?

Not on the website itself. On Pro, an Order online button can open your Uber Eats, DoorDash or SkipTheDishes listing; ordering and payments on your own website are Coming soon, part of Business. Other order-ahead apps can't be added yet, but you can email hello@suddn.co to ask.

We sell bags of beans. Can I list them?

Yes. Add them as items with prices, in their own group such as "Beans to take home". People can't buy them on the website yet: online payments are Coming soon, part of Business.

Can I put a QR code on the counter or in the window?

Yes, on every plan. The QR code opens your website, so someone reading your window after closing can see tomorrow's hours.
