About The Burger Lab
Most restaurant websites are a menu PDF and a phone number. The Burger Lab turns yours into a high-end food commercial that visitors control. Scroll and the burger comes apart layer by layer. Keep scrolling and a potato becomes golden fries that land in a carton. Pick a shake and watch it pour. Tap sauces and see them stream onto the burger.
It’s built to sell food, not only to look good. Visitors build combos with a live total, browse a full menu where every item appears in 3D, choose sizes and extras, check ingredients and allergens, and add everything to an order list that sends them to your online ordering page.
You don’t need a developer. Open the included editor in your browser, type your restaurant’s name, colours, menu, prices and hours, and watch your website update as you go. Download one file and put it online for free.

Requirements
A modern web browser and an internet connection. Free hosting on Netlify, Vercel or any web host. An online ordering link (Square, Toast, Uber Eats or similar) if you want visitors to order online.
Good to know
- The website doesn’t take payments. Its checkout button sends visitors to the ordering link you add. Without a link, the order list asks visitors to call you.
- The 3D foods are stylized models, not photos of your own food.
- Sample restaurant name, prices and menu are placeholders for you to replace. You add your own ingredient and allergen information.
FAQ
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Everything is edited in the included editor, with a live preview.
Can customers order online?
Yes, through your existing ordering provider. Add its link and the checkout button goes there.
Can I add my own menu items?
Yes, as many as you like. Type the name and the site picks a matching 3D model, or choose one yourself.
How do I put it online?
Drag your finished file onto Netlify Drop (free). The guide walks you through it.
Can I use it for more than one restaurant?
Each licence covers one website. Buy one licence for each restaurant or client site.
Do I need to register or create an account with The Food Aisle?
No. After you pay, your download appears straight away on the thank-you page and the link is also emailed to you. Everything else happens on your own computer.
How do I save my work while editing?
The editor saves your changes automatically in your browser, so you can close it and come back later. When you’re finished, press Download my website (at the top, or at the end of the form) to get your website as one file, index.html.
Can I use my own domain name, like myburgerjoint.com?
Yes. Put your site online free with Netlify first and create a free Netlify account so it stays online. Then, in Netlify, open your site, choose Domain management and add a domain you own, or buy one there. Domains come from a domain company and have a yearly fee, separate from this template. Netlify adds a free secure (https) certificate.
Refunds?
Because this is a digital download, sales are final once downloaded, unless the file is faulty and we can’t fix it.
