Important Notes

• This is a static front-end template. It does not include live table inventory, booking confirmation, email delivery, payment, checkout, accounts, database, CMS, admin panel, analytics, or backend processing.
• Forms do not send, save, or confirm data until the buyer connects a real secure service.
• Le Gout, its people, address, telephone number, menu, prices, policies, reviews, and operational claims are fictional demonstration content and must be replaced and verified before a real launch.
• The nine included images are original demo imagery for this product. Buyers remain responsible for the licence and accuracy of replacement media.
• Example structured-data and discovery files use inactive reserved-domain values and must be updated before production.

3. Adjust the documented CSS custom properties for the brand palette and typography
4. Update menu items and filters using the documented data attributes
5. Connect each demo form to a real secure service and add the required privacy, spam, failure, and success states
6. Replace reserved-domain SEO examples, then run final accessibility and HTTPS checks

Support

Codester item support covers installation questions, the documented customization path, and reproducible defects in the unmodified included files. Custom design or content work, hosting administration, third-party services, backend development, and reservation integrations are not included.
