# Parsley

> Commission-free online ordering, a restaurant website, automated marketing, and AI visibility in one platform for independent restaurants

Parsley (withparsley.com) is a platform for independent restaurants. It takes nothing from food sales, every guest lands in a list the restaurant owns, and its products share one menu, one guest list, and one admin. It is free to start. Every page below has a Markdown version at the linked `.md` URL; the HTML page is the same URL without the extension.
