Salt & Ember, a new restaurant template.

If you’re building a website for a restaurant, café, bar, or another food-driven brand, it helps to start with a design that already understands what matters most - atmosphere, appetite, and a clear next step towards your door.

That’s why we’re excited to share Salt & Ember, our latest free Showit template. It’s available now and built for restaurant owners who want a polished online presence that feels as inviting as the space itself. Salt & Ember is available free within Showit, and it was created specifically for food and beverage brands with a modern, bold, slightly dark aesthetic.

Built to help guests take the next step

Salt & Ember was designed to do more than look good. It gives you space to show off your concept, highlight signature dishes, and help potential guests quickly find what they need. Prominent calls to action make it easy to guide visitors toward booking a reservation or viewing the menu, which helps turn interest into actual tables.

It also includes flexible gallery sections for food photography, interior shots, and seasonal updates, plus integrated social feeds that help keep your site feeling current and connected to your brand.

A strong starting point with room to make it your own

One of the best parts of starting with a Showit template is that it gives you momentum without boxing you in. Salt & Ember is built for restaurants, but it can also work well for cafés, caterers, bars, food trucks, and other food and beverage brands. Every section is fully customizable, so you can shape the site around your menu, your mood, and your brand story as your business grows.

That flexibility matters for DIY users especially. Our broader DIY audience wants a site that feels like their business, not like a generic template, and they want creative freedom without needing to code. Salt & Ember gives them a strong launch point while still leaving plenty of room to personalize the final result.
