Right now we're doing a simple redirect to the mobile version if the user browses to the restaurant's normal website.
Do you provide the option to opt-out of the mobile version? I get really, really frustrated by mobile versions that are forced on me with no option to say "no thanks, give me the real thing".
Solid idea, great implemntation, beautiful landing page. On your "Features" tab you do a great job actually focusing on "Benefits" (most people just list the features!). I'd propose that you change that menu title to "Why Do I Need Chompstack?" or just "Why ChompStack?" and then retitle the headline to: "ChompStack generates more customers by making your site accessible to mobile visitors." Then rather than opening u…

Replace the burger with a menu (keep the bite).
Tough to figure out a menu icon: how can you immediately know what a menu looks like, maybe a rectangle with some fake lines of "text" and a wine glass pic? I've seen that somewhere...personally I think maybe the bite was my mistake (despite our chosen name) because it doesn't scale down well.
I like it, but I hate your logo. Who takes a bite out of just the bun? Also, by showing a hamburger, you made me think of fast food and I could see conventional restaurants balking at that.
At the risk of getting beat down I totally disagree. I think the logo is awesome. The branding hit me in the face hard. "Chomp"? Yep, that looks like a chomp. :) I wouldn't change a thing. It's colorful and communicates the food message quick and cleanly. Having just the logo text by itself would be too plain IMO. As for higher scale restaurants, I don't think that's a problem either. The site won't be seen by their…
You should wonder why restaurants think they should have a "fancy" website, as opposed to a Facebook business listing with a menu and some pics. A fancy restaurant will want something dark and elegant to communicate that they're not a diner or a fast food joint. Think about this.
Best of luck to you.
It's best to have 100% validated HTML especially when offering to build sites for other people. Some times restaurant owners can be technologically inclined and may check these things out.

We have been contemplating adding ordering for a while now. To do it well, it's a non trivial problem with a lot of different challenges. Restaurant online ordering providers usually fall into two camps: 1) Simple ordering that goes to email, fax, or phone. There is no integration with the kitchen and restaurants have to reconcile their reporting at the end of the day. 2) Online ordering website integration directly…

I created that logo and I hate it too. Any other ideas? I'm a horrendous graphic designer but I'm down to try again, and I agree with your points entirely. We were sort of pushing to get it done at the time. We could consider 99designs.com at this point I suppose.
Have the bite mark come out of the first 'C'. Seems a touch Apple-ish when I think about it, but you've already got a bit of that going on: http://www.cultofmac.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/apple-... Shoot me an email if you like. I'd be happy to put something together at a reasonable price if you're pushed for time :)
