Software developer for New York small businesses: restaurants, shops and practices, almost on your clock
I build websites, digital menus, booking systems and custom dashboards for New York restaurants, shops and professional practices, working remotely from Buenos Aires. Argentina is one or two hours ahead of New York depending on the time of year, so we share almost the whole workday.
If you run a restaurant, a shop or a professional practice in New York and need a website, a digital menu, a booking system or a dashboard to run the business, I can build it remotely from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Argentina is one or two hours ahead of New York depending on the time of year, so we work almost the same hours.
That makes hiring someone outside the country feel a lot less remote. No messages waiting until tomorrow, no 7 a.m. calls. Here's which New York businesses I fit best, how a project runs and what you should still check with someone local.
Restaurants: the menu that changes every week
New York restaurants change their menus all the time: seasonal dishes, prices that go up, the daily special, weekend brunch. If every change means emailing whoever built the website, the online menu falls behind and guests get annoyed when the dish they came for isn't there.
What I build is a QR digital menu with its own admin dashboard. You change a dish, a photo or a price from your phone, and it updates on the website and on the QR codes on the tables right away. If you also want to take orders without paying a delivery app on every single one, I can add your own online ordering.
A real case: Boca de Lobo
Boca de Lobo is a steakhouse, what Argentines call a parrilla, with two locations in Buenos Aires. I built its website with a QR digital menu of more than 250 items, promotions and locations, plus its own admin dashboard where the owner changes prices, dishes and promotions without calling me. You can see it at bocadelobo.com.ar.
Different city, same problem a two-location spot in Queens or Brooklyn has: a long menu that changes often and has to be right everywhere at once.

The neighborhood shop that sells in store and on Instagram, with inventory in a spreadsheet, needs an online store or catalog tied to the same stock so nothing gets sold twice.
The law office, accounting firm or therapy practice that gets documents by email and books appointments by phone needs a portal where each client uploads their files and books on their own. I wrote about that in client portals for accounting firms and websites for law firms.
The developer selling condos before they're built is where I have a product of my own: Recorrido 3D, interactive 3D walkthroughs of the finished unit to show in the sales office or over a video call.
What New York businesses usually ask for
- Fast on a phone: most people look you up walking down the street or on the subway.
- Information that's always current: hours, holidays, closures for events, prices.
- Two languages: English and Spanish on the same site when the neighborhood calls for it.
- Bookings without a phone call: customers pick a time and get a reminder.
- An admin dashboard of their own: so the owner or manager can change things without waiting on anyone.
Working one or two hours apart
Argentina stays on UTC−3 all year and New York switches for daylight saving, so the gap is one or two hours. If it helps, we do a short call every week at whatever time suits you, and in between we talk on WhatsApp or email, in English or Spanish.
We start with a video call where you show me how you work today. From that I put together a proposal in phases and a quote. You follow progress through a link, approve each phase, and at the end you get everything up and running with access to your own dashboard. I explain the process in working with a remote developer.
What to check with someone local
In the US there are rules on web accessibility and customer data that may apply to your business. I build sites that work with a keyboard and screen readers, with good contrast and alt text on images, and I add the privacy notices you give me. What the law requires in your case is a question for a lawyer or a local professional. Same with sales tax and invoicing: that's your accountant.
Frequently asked questions
Can we meet during New York business hours?
Yes. Argentina is one or two hours ahead of New York depending on the time of year, so almost all of your workday is mine too. Morning, lunchtime or afternoon calls all work without anyone adjusting.
Do you build digital menus for restaurants with more than one location?
Yes. I built one for Boca de Lobo, a steakhouse with two locations in Buenos Aires: a QR menu of more than 250 items, promotions and locations, plus an admin dashboard where the owner changes everything himself.
Can you add a system to the website I already have?
Often, yes. A client portal, a booking system or a quote tool can sit next to your current site. Sometimes it makes more sense to rebuild. We'll look at what you have on the first call and decide.
Who handles local rules on privacy and accessibility?
I build the site to work well with screen readers and keyboards and add the privacy notices you provide. What the law requires for your business should be confirmed by a lawyer or a local professional.
