October has been a busy one, that's for sure. While this month's update is less massive than September's, that's not to say we've been kicking back.
October was a hectic month; we've progressed Easy Eatery across several areas and remain on course to launch in full next year.
We've made considerable progress in the past month towards launching Early Access.
Our hosting infrastructure is now online, and we've been exhaustively testing Easy Eatery on our live environment to ensure everything works as expected.
Our very first Early Access website is now complete and undergoing content entry.
The first website is also for our first customer, the folks at The New Tredegar Arms.
They trusted Easy Eatery and supported us early on with our prototype, so it's only fitting that they should be the first to benefit from a shiny new website.
You can find a sneak peek of their new website at the top of this page, but if all goes well, it should be live to the World before Christmas.
We're also delighted with how our early-access websites perform in the real World. Whilst our prototype was no slouch, our early-access websites run even faster.
In anticipation of more companies joining our early access programme, we've begun to write our documentation for Easy Eatery.
We'll be launching our support website early in the new year. It'll be full of comprehensive documentation for every feature within Easy Eatery, quick-start guides, theming guides, and so much more.
While we've been busy getting our first 'proper' website ready for launch, we've remained hard at work, planning the next quarter and getting the next set of features ready.
In short, this feature makes it possible for site owners and managers to change the appearance of their websites without making code changes.
With our theme customiser, you can easily update the fonts and colours used on your website, plus change image sizes and set any additional custom options that your theme might support.
Our theme customiser is currently in quality control and is undergoing rigorous testing.

One of Easy Eatery's core goals is to bring all the tools and features hospitality businesses need into one affordable product. The first of these tools that'll be coming to Easy Eatery are purchasable gift vouchers.
We're currently in the planning and design phase for this feature; we're on course to begin development in the new year.
You've heard of our page builder, our menu builder and maybe even our form builder, but our email builder is brand-new.
This feature will allow anyone to manage the content of their website's emails effortlessly via an easy-to-use block-based HTML email builder.
We identified the need for this tool whilst scoping our gift voucher feature and will go into development at the same time.
