The websites are hosted as subdomains in a Next.js multi-tenant environment, with editable previews, Stripe Connect ordering, and custom domain support. Tony wants to build a product people love before adding paid features.", "body_md": "I got sick of seeing bad restaurant websites and building websites manually, so I automated it.\n\nHow it works, take a picture of your menu and EatFoodNow sends the image to Gemini to extract the data and structure it to fit a clean website design. Each restaurant is hosted as a subdomain in a Next.JS multi-tenant environment.\n\nI've made the process as frictionless as possible so a user gets to see their preview website before signing up.\n\nI think supervision is important so after generation everything is editable in a way that looks as close as possible to the final output.\n\nI've also integrated Stripe Connect to build an ordering systems and custom domain support.\n\nIt's free because I want to build products people love to use and then add features later that are worth paying for.\n\nTry it break it, give me some feedback and let me know if it's good or bad.\n\n- Tony\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48988506](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48988506)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-take-a-photo-of-a-menu-get-a-website", "canonical_source": "https://www.eatfoodnow.com/", "published_at": "2026-07-21 05:47:49+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-21 05:52:52.659426+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "generative-ai", "ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["EatFoodNow", "Gemini", "Next.js", "Stripe Connect", "Tony"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-take-a-photo-of-a-menu-get-a-website", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-take-a-photo-of-a-menu-get-a-website.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-take-a-photo-of-a-menu-get-a-website.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-take-a-photo-of-a-menu-get-a-website.jsonld"}}
