Ladle welcome screen

Great food. Zero visibility.

Belfast's independent cafes make incredible food every day. But reaching new customers is harder than it should be.

Without Ladle

Getting your daily specials in front of hungry locals is a daily struggle.

  • Social media posts get buried in minutes
  • Delivery apps take 30% and own your customer
  • Chalkboards only reach people who walk past
  • No way to know if anyone saw your menu today
  • Customers ring ahead just to ask what's on
