Membership sites for restaurants.
A membership site is a business you own: the content or community behind the login, the billing relationship, and the member list itself. We build membership platforms that handle tiers, recurring payments, gated content, and member profiles without a third-party platform taking a cut or setting the rules. Working remotely from our Providence, RI studio, we scope, prototype, and build for organizations across the US and Canada. A diner deciding between two places on a Friday night will check the menu, the photos, and whether a table is open, all from a phone. A custom restaurant website answers those three questions in seconds and turns the answer into a reservation or an order without a phone call. For restaurants and wine bars, membership takes the form of a wine club, a supper-club series, or a loyalty tier: recurring charges, allocation announcements, member-only reservation windows, and pickup or shipping of each release. Members manage their own preferences and payment details.
Quick answer
A membership site for restaurants puts content, tools, or community behind a login with tiers, recurring billing, gated access, and renewals that run themselves, on a platform you own rather than rent. GEO Marketing Group builds custom membership platforms starting around $10,000, typically $18,000, working remotely from Providence, RI.
What it includes
What membership site builds include for restaurants.
Membership tiers with recurring billing, trials, coupons, and upgrades through Stripe

Connects to the tools restaurants already use.
Membership site builds earn their keep when they stop double entry. These are the integrations we most often scope for restaurants; if your stack is different, we map it in discovery.
Why restaurants reach for this.
The menu is a PDF
Phone visitors pinch, zoom, and give up. Search engines cannot read the items, and every price change means exporting and re-uploading a file.
Reservations live somewhere else
A booking link that jumps to a third-party page loses guests on the way and hides which page, dish, or search brought the reservation in.
Hours and photos are stale
Holiday hours on Google say one thing, the site says another, and the gallery is from opening week. Guests notice, and some stop trusting both.
Membership site builds start from $10,000. Every project is quoted to its scope.
