FREQUENTLY ASKED
Straight answers before you commit
Is Architech an architectural drafting or building firm? +
No. Architech NZ specializes strictly in websites, commission-free booking and ordering engines, and visual media production for New Zealand small businesses: cafes and restaurants, trades and home services, motels and accommodation, and salons and beauty. It is not an architecture, building design, or drafting practice.
How does Architech eliminate third-party commission fees? +
Architech installs a high-speed direct booking and ordering engine on your own custom domain. By routing orders and bookings directly through Stripe or local merchant rails, venues, motels and salons keep the full value of each sale instead of paying the 15% to 30% take rate typical of aggregator apps and OTAs.
How much commission do booking platforms take from small businesses? +
OTAs and aggregators like Booking.com, Expedia and UberEats typically take 15% to 30% commission on every booking or order. On $25,000 of monthly revenue with 40% flowing through aggregators at a 20% take rate, that is around $2,000 per month, or $24,000 per year, lost to platforms.
How does the barter program offset setup fees? +
Qualifying NZ restaurants, bars, and boutique accommodation venues can offset up to 40% of initial onboarding and setup fees in exchange for food, beverage, or venue credits utilized by the Architech production and testing team.
How do I get my business recommended by AI search like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews? +
AI assistants recommend businesses whose websites they can clearly read and trust: semantic HTML structure, complete schema markup, explicit location and service entities, and fast mobile performance. Architech builds sites to that standard so independent NZ small businesses surface when customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Siri or Alexa for a recommendation.
Do you build websites for electricians, plumbers and builders? +
Yes. Architech builds AI-search-optimized, commission-free lead generation sites for electricians, plumbers, builders and other trades, alongside the same direct-booking engine used for hospitality and salon clients.
Do you build websites for beauty salons and spas? +
Yes. Salons and beauty businesses get commission-free direct booking, automated review generation and AI search visibility, so fewer appointment slots sit empty.
Does Architech offer social media marketing or act as a social media agency? +
Yes. The Engine and Command Centre packages include an on-site content shoot and ongoing Reels and TikTok production, run as an embedded social media agency service rather than a separate retainer.
Does Architech provide a CRM or customer database? +
Every Architech build captures customer data, name, phone, email and order or booking history, directly on your own domain, giving you a first-party customer database and CRM instead of losing that data to a third-party platform.
Does Architech set up POS systems? +
Yes. The Command Centre package includes POS integration alongside your website, booking engine and dashboard.
