Publish everywhere

Venue websites

Publish a simple home for each location’s story, hours, menus, and events.

For Owners edit and publish; staff can view according to account permissionsReviewed September 15, 2026
Open in Studio

Before you begin

Choose a location. Publish any menus or events you want the website to show.

What changes

Save draft keeps work private. Publish website updates the Venue Menus address and any verified custom subdomain; the canonical address enters the sitemap. Unpublish removes public access while retaining the draft.

Add venue content

Each location can publish one scrolling website with its venue name, introduction, story, colors, logo, hero image, address, phone, email, daily hours, and an optional external link.

Use direct HTTPS image URLs or durable generated assets. External images remain hosted by their source, so choose URLs you control.

Preview and publish

  1. Save draft to preserve private work.
  2. Choose Preview changes and inspect both fitted desktop and phone widths.
  3. Publish website to update its Venue Menus address and any verified custom subdomain. The public sitemap lists the canonical address.
  4. Unpublish to remove public access and sitemap discovery while retaining the draft.
Venue website editor with content fields and a private page preview
Website content has its own save, preview, and publication lifecycle.

Connect your domain

One subdomain you own can open each published venue website over HTTPS for Free. In Website, enter a hostname such as visit.example.com. Add the CNAME and TXT records shown in Studio at your DNS provider, then choose Check DNS. Keep both records in place while using the domain. Domain registration and renewal remain with you.

The original Venue Menus website address keeps working. Menus linked from the website keep their Venue Menus addresses. Replacing or removing a domain in Studio stops serving the old address immediately; remove its DNS records at your provider afterward. Root domains such as example.com are not supported.

Optional assistance

Build my website can draft copy, colors, and a hero illustration for 1,000 credits. It keeps known contact details, hours, and published links, leaves missing facts for manual completion, and never publishes.

Flavor maps

The Website editor lets you include published menu lists, flavor maps, or both. Publish each map from the Flavor map page first.

Limits and boundaries

One scrolling website and one customer-owned subdomain per location are Free. Images must use durable generated assets or direct HTTPS URLs.

If something goes wrong

Preview before publishing. Failed saves keep the form; concurrent changes require a reload and fresh review.
