When someone asks AI where to drink, be the answer.

People don’t just search anymore. They ask. stave.works rebuilds your web presence so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI answers can actually read you, cite you, and send people to your door.

What your customers are asking, try one

Illustrative demo answer

The honest version:for hard “near me” searches, Google’s map still rules. AI answers win the research questions (“best…”, “where should we…”). We build for both, and we’ll show you exactly which queries you’re invisible on.

45%

of consumers used AI to find a local business in the past year, up from 6% the year before

83%

of hospitality businesses never appear in AI recommendations at all

major AI crawlers execute zero JavaScript. If your menu and events load with scripts, AI can’t see them

How it works

Audit. Rebuild. Get cited.

01 · The audit

See where you’re invisible

We run your brand through ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity on the 8–10 questions a local drinker actually asks, and show you who gets recommended instead. One-page scorecard, three fixes.

Free · takes us ~20 min
02 · The rebuild

A site machines can read

Server-rendered pages, answer-shaped content, accessible to every visitor (and screen reader), fast on a phone in a parking lot. Your taplist, events, and story, visible to humans and AI.

03 · The proof

Watch the citations move

Monthly report: which AI answers now mention you, which still don’t, and what we’re fixing next. Before and after, in writing, not vibes.

What’s actually in a rebuild

The 2026 technical bar, sold honestly.

Plenty of vendors sell magic words. We sell the things the evidence supports, and we’ll tell you plainly which buzzwords don’t matter.

Server-rendered pages. The foundation: AI crawlers read raw HTML only, so your content has to be in it.

Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA. Wineries and breweries are actively being sued over inaccessible sites. A liability shield, built in, no gimmick overlay widgets.

Speed budgets that pass Google’s bar. Hospitality sites are among the slowest on the web. Yours won’t be.

The age gate, done right. Most producers’ age gates block search engines, AI, and screen readers all at once. Ours doesn’t.

Schema markup. We do it fully, but as machine-readable identity. Controlled studies show it doesn’t buy AI citations by itself. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling.

Then keep them · +Ops, in build

Getting found is half the job. Keeping them is the other half.

The industry loses 19–25% of club members every year. So the same system that gets you cited will also run your room: it flags fading regulars, drafts the win-back note in your voice, runs pickup orders, checks state shipping rules, and fills your events. Founding price $179/month flat, zero transaction fees.
