## Do I really need a website if I have Instagram?

Yes — Google can't index Instagram for local searches. A simple website triples the chance of showing in 'coffee near me' results.

## Can the site sync opening hours with Google?

We set up your Google Business Profile so customers see correct hours on Maps. The website displays the same hours and supports bank-holiday overrides.

## Can customers order coffee for collection?

Yes — we integrate Square, Stripe or Flipdish for collection orders. Morning rush is the highest-ROI use case.

## Will the site work on the till's printer?

If you use Square, Toast or Flipdish, orders print directly to your kitchen printer. We configure the integration.

## How long does a café website take to build?

3–4 weeks including Google Business Profile setup.

## FAQ

### How much does an AI integration project cost in Ireland?

Digital Bridge prices AI work in bands: an AI feasibility assessment from €5,000 (grant-eligible), a baseline production build from €15,000, multi-system agent workflows at €25,000–€60,000, and enterprise programmes from €40,000 to €100,000+. Small-business website builds start at €499. Every engagement is fixed-price against a signed scope.

### How long does a production AI build take?

A feasibility assessment runs three to five weeks. A baseline production build typically runs eight to twelve weeks from signed scope to go-live, including a seven-day shadow-mode pilot before the system takes live traffic. Multi-system programmes are sequenced into phases so value lands before the full programme completes.

### Can Irish grant funding cover this work?

Often, yes. Enterprise Ireland's Digital Discovery Grant funds up to 80% of an eligible feasibility assessment, and Digital Process Innovation funds up to 50% of eligible implementation costs. Local Enterprise Office schemes cover smaller digital projects. Eligibility is decided by the funder, never by us.

### Who owns the code and the prompts?

You do. Every engagement transfers full source-code and prompt ownership on final payment. Systems run on EU-hosted infrastructure with provider training disabled and a signed data processing agreement. There is no vendor lock-in and no proprietary runtime you have to keep paying us for.
