Averio is built specifically for restaurants. Answer a few questions and your site is live in minutes — with a digital menu, online reservations, and your hours always in sync.

Getting started

From signup to live site in minutes

Averio handles everything a new restaurant website needs. You don't design anything — you just describe your restaurant and we take it from there.

1

Tell us about your restaurant

Enter your restaurant name, cuisine type, a short description, your phone number, and address. Takes about 2 minutes.

2

AI writes your content

We generate your tagline, about section, and service descriptions using your input. Edit anything or regenerate with one click.

3

Publish and share

Hit publish and your site goes live at a free subdomain. Connect your own domain anytime from the settings page.

Reservations

Built-in reservations, no third-party needed

Averio includes a full reservation system for restaurants. Guests can book a table directly from your site — no Resy, OpenTable, or external widget required. You control the table types, party sizes, booking window, and service hours.

  • Guests book a table directly from your website
  • Define your own table types and seating capacities
  • Set hours per day of week, with support for split service (lunch/dinner)
  • Control the booking window (how far in advance guests can book)
  • Set maximum party size per booking
  • View all upcoming and past reservations in your dashboard
  • Reservation status tracking: pending, confirmed, cancelled
  • Email alert sent to your restaurant when a new reservation is submitted
  • Email confirmation sent to guests when you confirm or cancel

Prefer to link to an existing reservation system? You can set Reservations to External mode and paste a URL to your OpenTable, Resy, or any other booking page instead.

  1. 1From your dashboard, click Reservations in the top nav.
  2. 2Choose Built-in or External link mode.

Google Business Profile

Keep your hours in sync with Google

Connect your Google Business Profile to Averio and your restaurant's hours stay consistent everywhere — on your website and on Google Search and Maps. When you update your hours in Averio, they sync to Google automatically.

  • One-click OAuth connection — no API keys to manage
  • Import your phone, address, and hours from Google in one click
  • Hours sync to Google automatically every time you save
  • Works with any Google Business Profile account
  • Disconnect at any time from the Edit page

To connect: go to Edit → Content, scroll to the Google Business Profile section, and click Connect Google account. You'll be redirected to Google to authorize access — it takes about 30 seconds.

Branding & style

Your brand colors, automatically matched

Upload your logo and Averio extracts your brand's primary color automatically. That color flows through your buttons, links, and highlights — no color picker required. You can also override it manually.

  • Upload a logo — brand color is detected automatically
  • Brand color applies to all buttons, links, and accents
  • Override with any custom hex color
  • Choose from multiple site styles: clean, bold, elegant, or restaurant
  • Font pairing presets: modern, classic, or warm

Custom domain

Use your own domain name

Every site launches at a free subdomain (yourrestaurant.averio.io). You can change your business name and subdomain at any time from Settings → Business name. When you're ready, connect your own domain — for example yourrestaurant.com.

How to connect a custom domain

  1. 1From your dashboard, click Custom domain.
  2. 2Enter your domain name and save.
  3. 3In your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.), add a CNAME record pointing to cname.vercel-dns.com.
  4. 4DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate, but usually go live within minutes.

Publishing

Go live when you're ready

Your site starts as a draft — visible to you while you're building, but not indexed by search engines or publicly accessible. When you're happy with it, hit publish.

  • Draft mode while you build — no pressure to go live early
  • Publish with one click from the dashboard
  • Unpublish anytime to take the site offline temporarily
  • All pages are server-rendered for fast load times
  • SEO metadata (title, description, Open Graph) generated automatically
  • sitemap.xml generated for every published site
