There is a demo. Just click the button and get a website! It generated me this: https://menupit.com/ypguhv The "in one click" is an enticing enough reason to see if it was _really_ one click to get a site. It was, sans editing the menu. With a button I can click and edit things on it. I put "Hello CSEThrowaway" in the banner as the subheading. Not sure if it's publicly available since saving requires me to sign up though.

@OP

This would actually be amazing for the several dozen restaurants near me that don't seem to have any online presence at all - which surely hurts their business as people don't know what is on the menu without going in person. It's dead simple to get up and running and looks nice enough as a default. I'm not sure about the competition in this area (or competition like the easy "build-your-own-sites" like Wix or Square(something)) but at the right cost (subscription model? bandwidth/traffic metered?) this is something I could see businesses going for.

One super major flaw though. Other than creating a header graphic with a logo - there's no way to slap a logo anywhere. Nothing businesses love more than plastering their logo on as many things as they can. ;) I would suggest centered above the "Menu" header would be a great spot, without changing the design in any significant way.
