As someone who goes to restaurants somewhat often, I've never thought to myself that it would be a good idea to sit down and make a website for that restaurant for free. I don't think you're going to find many restaurant customers at all that would be willing to try that. One idea I had off the top of my head to try and make the service more appealing to restaurant owners would be to have the site generate both online and offline menus.

Kind of like squarespace-for-menus, offer a wide variety of really nice templates for offline paper menus each restaurant can choose from and customize. Then when they update their menu on your website, it also automatically generates a new PDF they can print out or send to a printer without having to hire a designer/intern/nephew to make minute changes to the old menu files. I think this would be especially useful for restaurants when they do price changes on items. Could monetize the thing by dropshipping fancy printed menus to customers.
