Yes. Lentil is your website, not an ordering system. Link to the ordering or reservation service you already use from any page. ### Our menu is a PDF. Is that a problem? Search engines and AI assistants read PDFs and photos poorly. Paste the menu into Lentil, or give the PDF or a photo to ChatGPT or Claude connected to Lentil, and it builds a real menu page for you to check before it goes live. ### Will holiday hours update on Google too? Yes, once you link your Google Business Profile. One change updates the website and the profile. ### What does it cost? Every site starts free. Pro is $39 per site per month for your own domain, unlimited pages and forms, and 500 AI credits a month. From 5 Pro sites it drops to $31 per site, and to $25 from 20. ## Your menu, right everywhere guests look. Start with a few sentences about your place. Lentil writes the site, and keeps it current from one message. [Start free](https://app.uselentil.com/login) [Check my current site](https://uselentil.com/website-check)
