Our fight against terrible restaurant websites

Today we've launched happytables ( http://www.happytables.com ), a squarespace / wordpress.com for restaurants. I had posted on HN before about a previous iteration we performed ( http://bit.ly/sn0FWc ), and am really satisfied how far we've gotten with it all. The entire solution is built on top of WordPress, it's allowed us to quickly prototype and build various components. It'll be interesting to see if other solutions pop-up for unrelated niche markets using WordPress too (i.e. real estate, sports clubs, etc.).

In plain words

Happytables is a website builder designed specifically for restaurants, similar to Squarespace or WordPress.com but tailored to the food service industry. Built on WordPress, it enables restaurant owners to quickly create and manage their online presence without technical expertise. The platform addresses the problem of poorly designed restaurant websites by providing templates and tools built for the hospitality sector's specific needs.

    If you guys are interested in high-quality food products please let me know what you think of my website prototype. 1)Do you understand immediately what the site is about? 2)Is it easy enough to understand how it works? 3)If ready to roll in your neighborhood would you be interested in subscribing to a service like this? I am in the process of getting a closed-beta off the ground in Brooklyn and I am really interested in all kinds of feedback about the idea, the design, UX. Thanks. http://www.the-local-kitchen.com
