A website for noodle bars, live in minutes
Everything about this business is speed, and the website should be the quickest part of it.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
A noodle bar competes on being the thing somebody can eat in twenty five minutes on a weekday, which makes the whole website a question of how fast the menu can be read.
So the menu is the page, priced, in short lines. Clay builds the site from your Google listing, and the collection order goes under it, because the lunchtime customer wants to order from a desk and pick it up on the way past.
Why Clay
It pulls your info from Google
No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.
A real website, not just links
Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact, Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.
Live in minutes, free to start
Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.
Yours to grow
Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
Short lines, priced, no paragraphs
Each bowl, what is in it, the price, and one word about heat if that matters. A noodle menu described in sentences takes longer to read than the food takes to cook.
Say which are vegetarian, vegan and gluten free with a mark rather than a paragraph. Half the people reading are checking for exactly one of those.
The order placed from a desk
A collection order put in at eleven for twelve fifteen is the best trade a noodle bar does, and it needs nothing more than a form and a time.
Say how long a bowl takes at the counter too. Somebody with a forty minute lunch break is doing arithmetic before they leave the office.
What you can switch on
Every one of these is part of your site, not a plugin to install. Turn on what you use and leave the rest off.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
How should the menu be written?
In short lines, priced. A noodle menu described in sentences takes longer to read than the food takes to cook: how a menu page works.
Is a collection order worth setting up?
It is the best trade this business does. An order placed at eleven for twelve fifteen is a customer who never queues and always comes back.
Should I mark up dietary options?
With a mark, not a paragraph. Half the people reading the menu are scanning for exactly one thing, and a symbol answers it in a second.
