Beautiful bilingual websites for Costa Rica restaurants, cafés and bars - so tourists and locals find you on Google and AI search, see the menu, and book or order direct. Not just a Facebook page and a WhatsApp number.
How tourists and locals actually find a place to eat in Sámara - and why a Facebook page alone is not enough.
People research on Google before they ever walk in - "best breakfast Sámara", "dinner near me", "vegan Nosara". No website and you are invisible; the place down the street with one wins by default.
More travelers ask ChatGPT, Claude or Google's AI "where should I eat tonight?" They answer from real websites, not Facebook. Without a proper site the AI cannot recommend you - and your Instagram will not either.
"What time do you open?" "Do you have vegan?" "Can I book for six?" - the same questions, in three languages, every week, and half give up before asking. Menu, hours, photos and a booking button in one place answer them before they are asked.
A booking request lands in one place, and the confirmation and reminder go out automatically, in the guest's language. No more chasing a "can you do Friday?" thread across WhatsApp. Add a deposit on big tables whenever you want one.
Most of your covers are people who already know you. A direct order or booking on your own site skips the cut the delivery apps take - you keep the customer and the margin. No shouting about it; it just adds up.
Most of your future regulars are searching right now - on Google, or asking an AI assistant where to eat. That is the traffic worth owning, because it comes straight to you. A delivery app might bring a first-time order, but it keeps the customer and takes a cut. Your own site turns a search into a booking, an order, or someone walking through the door - direct, no middleman.
The searches that decide where people eat - we build to rank for them in both languages.
ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI recommend from real websites. We make sure yours can be read.
Handy for a first-time order, but they own the customer and take a cut. A nudge to your own site brings the next one direct.
Every booking lands in one place - a single source of truth you and we can both see. The confirmation and the reminder go out automatically, by WhatsApp or email, in the guest's language. Want a deposit to hold a big table? The guest gets a pay link - SINPE or card - and you see when it is paid. The money goes to your account; we never touch it. No per-cover platform fee, no app in the middle.
Already run a POS or reservation system? If it opens an API, we can connect to it so things stay in sync - tell us what you run and we will confirm before we build.
Restaurant builds are underway now. In the meantime, walk through the live bilingual sites we have shipped for Costa Rican rentals and local businesses - the same craft and the same engine, shaped to a menu and a dining room.
See the sites we have built→A website gets someone through the door once. Staying in touch is what turns them into a regular - and it is the part nobody has time for. So we run it for you, in English and Spanish: your guest list, the emails, the welcome, the monthly promo. Done for you, start to finish.
A fast, bilingual site that gets you found and makes the food look as good as it tastes - the foundation reservations and ordering plug into.
Optional monthly plans - keep it online, get found on Google, or let us run the whole marketing engine including social. ★ Quarterly billing. Annual saves 10%.
Hosting, security, monitoring, and your reservation widget embedded if you take bookings. You edit text, photos, hours and the promo of the month yourself via the self-serve CMS - no waiting on us.
Everything in Online + CMS, plus regular SEO updates and optimisations - we keep your site climbing in search, month after month.
Everything in Care + SEO, plus your customer CRM, a captured email list, a welcome email flow with weekly promo emails, and a monthly dev request for whatever the CMS can't do.
Everything in Marketing + Email, plus done-for-you social media, three blogs a month, active review requests, and Google Business Profile management to keep regulars coming back and new customers finding you.
Build add-ons - online ordering, reservations and on-site payments (SINPE + card) - are scoped per project on top of your $799 build. Add aerial drone footage $249 for cinematic food and venue shots.
That is the whole point. Every build ships with Standard SEO - sitemap, schema and indexing - so the searches that matter, like best breakfast Sámara or where to eat in Nosara, can surface your place. We also structure the site so AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google AI can read and recommend it, which a Facebook or Instagram page cannot do.
Yes. A booking request lands in one place - your single source of truth - and the confirmation and reminder go out automatically, in the guest's language. You can add online ordering for pickup, or a deposit on bigger tables, whenever you are ready. It is scoped to how you actually serve.
For a deposit or a direct order, the guest pays by SINPE or card through a pay link, and you see when it is paid. The money goes to your account - we never touch it. No per-cover platform fee and no app commission on the customers who already know you.
No. Keep them for first-time discovery if they help you. The point is to own the customers who already love your food - a direct order or booking on your own site skips the app's cut and keeps the relationship with you.
If it opens an API, we can almost certainly connect to it so things stay in sync and your team keeps working the way they do today. Tell us what you run and we will confirm before we build. No rip-and-replace.
Bilingual sites start at $799 one-time and go live in about 14 days. Optional monthly care runs from $29/month (hosting + CMS) up to $129/month for the full marketing engine - CRM, email, Google Business Profile and social media from 8 posts a month. Online ordering, reservations and on-site payments are scoped per project. The site is yours forever.
Helping Costa Rica businesses get found, get booked, and keep the customers they earn - instead of renting them back from the platforms.
Most local businesses hand their customers - and a slice of every sale - to the big platforms. I build the infrastructure that lets you get found on Google and AI search, take bookings or orders directly, and own the relationship. That is the whole game.
I live in Sámara with my wife and two kids. I know what it costs to run a business on this coast - the slow season, the suppliers who do not show, the Hacienda paperwork, the platforms taking their cut. I built Pulpería to give local businesses infrastructure that respects all of that, not a London agency template painted in tropical colors.
Fifteen years in digital before this: founded several companies, senior product manager building the website experiences for Adidas, RetailMeNot, and Gumtree.com. Those years taught me how websites actually convert, how customers think, and how to ship something fast that works and is beautiful.
The person who builds your site is the same person who answers your WhatsApp. No account managers, no freelancer chains, no support tickets that vanish. One studio, one inbox, real attention to your business - that is the whole reason this works at our price.
WhatsApp is fastest - text or voice notes, whatever is easiest for you. We answer within an hour. No bots, no platform. A real person who lives here, will listen first, and a cafecito beats a quote any day.
