Founder, Fortune Cookie Studio

I'm Justin. I work full-time as a software engineer, and I build online ordering for Asian restaurants. Here are my credentials.

I grew up around this. My parents run a restaurant, and the first website I ever built was theirs. I know what a Friday dinner rush looks like from behind the counter, and I know what it costs when an order gets missed because nobody could hear the phone.

Then friends and family started asking. Most were in the same spot: either no website at all, or one built fifteen years ago that nobody could update and nobody could read on a phone. Meanwhile the delivery apps were taking twenty or thirty percent off every order, and the owners felt like they had no choice.

So I built this instead. You pay nothing — not for the site, not for the web address, not for the printer that goes in your kitchen. My share comes out of a small fee your customers pay when they order, which means I earn nothing unless your ordering actually works. Two restaurants are running it now, and both are on the work page.

I'm based in the NYC metro area and work with restaurants across the country. When you get on a call, you're talking to the person who will build your site.

What I promise

You don't pay to find out

Nothing upfront and nothing to sign. If it doesn't bring you orders, you are not out any money.

It's yours, not mine

The web address, the design and the words are all in your name from day one. If you ever want to leave, you take everything with you.

You can actually reach me

No ticket system, no support queue. You message me and you get me, not a call center.

I only earn when you do

My share comes out of a fee your customers pay when they order. If your ordering doesn't work, I don't get paid. That keeps us on the same side.

Someone is ordering takeout right now.

Let's make sure it's from you, and that you keep the whole ticket. The first call is free, takes 30 minutes, and there is nothing to pay.
