Prepared for the Shakin Crab team · Private
Your menu deserves a site that sells it.
This working demo was built from your real menu — 56 items in 8 categories, live prices — to show what your online ordering could be. Everything you can tap here works: build a bag, season it, check out.
Your site today
- Lives on a kwickmenu.com address you don't own
- No photos — an empty gallery for a visual cuisine
- Ordering blocked off-premises ("browse-only" for customers at home)
- Duplicate categories, typos, plain price lists
- Per-order fees added on top of your customers' checkout
- A gift-card field at checkout — but nowhere for a customer to buy one
- No system for turning happy guests into Google reviews
This demo, live now
- Your own brand on your own web address — shakincrabmanassas.com is already reserved for you
- Food-first photography (yours, after a shoot we arrange)
- Real pickup ordering: seasoning, heat, add-ons, cart, checkout
- One clean menu — fix a price once, it updates everywhere
- No convenience fees. Stripe checkout, or pay at the counter
- After-pickup text that invites every guest to review you on Google
- Gift cards — sold online, redeemable online and at the counter
Updating your menu — two ways, your choice
- Do it yourself in seconds. Open your private Menu Manager (owner code for this demo: the last four digits of the store phone, 2120). Type the new price, press Update — the website changes the moment you do. Sold out of something? One tap hides it; one tap brings it back.
- Or just tell us. Email or text the change — a new item, new photos, a holiday menu — and we make it live the same day. Done-for-you is part of the plan, not an extra.
- Either way, everything stays in sync — the site, Google, and (coming with the platform) the menu screens inside your store. One menu, one change, everywhere.
This is the core of Vendah: your menu is data you control, not a design you wait on.
The difference, side by side
| Your site today | With Vendah | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you call | A national platform's support queue | A local partner — one call, one email, or a visit to the store |
| Your web address | a kwickmenu.com subdomain (theirs) | shakincrabmanassas.com (yours — you keep it) |
| Ordering from home | Blocked — "browse-only" away from the store | Full pickup ordering from any device |
| Photos | Empty gallery | Food-first photography of your dishes |
| Fees on your guests | Platform per-order fees at checkout | None |
| Changing a price | A request into a platform | Yourself in seconds — or tell us, live same-day |
| Growing reviews | Nothing built in | After-pickup invitations, concerns come to you first |
New revenue, day one: gift cards
- Here's the odd part:your current checkout already has a "gift card number" field — but there's nowhere on your site for a customer to actually buyone. You can redeem cards you can't sell.
- Try ours: buy a demo gift card, get a branded digital card by email, then use the code at checkout — it works end to end, online and (in the live version) at the counter too.
- Why it's money:gift cards are cash in hand today for food served later, they bring in new guests, and buyers routinely spend past the card's value. Local comparison: Ford's Fish Shack sells virtual cards but won't take them for online orders — ours work everywhere.
Program terms (denominations, no-expiry policy, accounting treatment) are set with you at onboarding — done properly, with the books in mind.
We're here. Literally.
- Local company, local person. We build and support this from right here in the Manassas area — not a call center, not a ticket queue.
- Reachable when it matters.Friday-night problem? One phone call. Want to talk in person? We'll come to the store.
- Your success is our reference.We're building our name on local businesses like yours — which means we can't afford to let your site be anything less than great.
Personalized service is the product. The software just makes it fast.
Your name, your address — and you keep it
- shakincrabmanassas.com and .net are reserved and ready to point at this site the day you say yes.
- Every search, share and QR code builds equity you own — not a kwickmenu.com subdomain that belongs to a vendor.
- If you ever leave, the domain leaves with you.That's in writing. We win by being good, not by locking you in.

The review engine
- Order placed online— we capture the guest's mobile number with their consent.
- Pickup confirmed— a friendly text lands about an hour later: "How was the boil?"
- One tap — every guest gets the Google review link; anyone with a problem also gets a direct line to you first, so issues reach you before they reach the internet.
Compliant by design: everyone is invited to review — no gating, no fakes. Volume of genuine reviews is what moves a rating.
