Website for a café or bar
A bar sells moments: a match on the screen, Friday drinks, live music at the weekend. An agenda showing that draws more people than a mood photo.
In short
- Agenda of what happens when
- Group booking with a deposit
- Menu and taps visible without a PDF
How it works in this industry
A bar sells its agenda. What is on Thursday, whether the match is on the big screen and whether there is room for ten on Friday — those are the questions your audience asks. Most bars answer them on Facebook, where they become invisible within a week.
Your own agenda stays findable, months later too, and can be shared in group chats without a login. Which is exactly how groups actually decide where to go.
What usually goes wrong
- Events living only on Facebook
- Groups that have to be arranged by phone
- Unclear opening hours around holidays
What Plaincodelab builds
Agenda with recurring nights and one-off events
Group request with headcount and package
Menu with beers, wines and snacks
Shareable event pages that look right in messages
This is what a bar usually needs first — not a fixed list. Want something else, Plaincodelab builds that just as well: a webshop, a client portal with logins, a quote calculator, an extra language, a link to the system you already use or an app alongside your site. Describe what you have in mind and PCL will tell you what it costs and what it returns.

Frequently asked questions
Can I set recurring nights?
Yes, for example a quiz every Thursday. You set it once and the agenda fills itself.
Can groups book themselves?
Yes, with headcount, time and an optional package. For large groups you can ask for a deposit.
Should I stop using Facebook then?
