Websites for restaurants

People open a restaurant website for four things — the menu, the hours, where you are, and how to order or book — usually on a phone, often standing outside. A good restaurant site gets them there in one tap and makes them hungry on the way. We build it in 48 hours: $390 one-time.

What diners look for, in order

Watch someone choose a place to eat and the pattern is always the same: they check the menu (and the prices), then the hours, then the address and parking, then how to book or order. Anything between them and those four answers — a long intro, an autoplay video, a menu buried in a PDF — costs you tables.

The sections a restaurant site needs

The menu as real text

A PDF menu is miserable on a phone and invisible to Google. A menu written into the page loads instantly, zooms properly, and lets Google match you when someone searches for "birria tacos" or "gluten-free pizza". Prices, short descriptions, dietary markers (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) and an allergen note — and it is easy to update when the menu changes.

Hours, address, parking — above the fold

The most-used information on any restaurant site, so it sits where nobody has to scroll for it: today's hours, a map link, and a line about parking or the nearest transit stop. Holiday hours get their own line when they apply.

Reservations and ordering

If you take bookings or online orders through a service you already use, the site links straight into it with one clear button. If you take phone orders, the number is a tap-to-call button. Fewer choices, more orders.

Photos that show the food and the room

A few honest photos of signature dishes and of the dining room. People decide on a vibe as much as on a menu — date night, family dinner, weekday lunch.

Catering and private events

If you do them, a short page with what you offer and an enquiry form. These are high-value orders that rarely come through delivery apps.

Your story, briefly

Who cooks, where the recipes come from, what makes the place yours. Two short paragraphs is enough, and it is what gets quoted when people recommend you.

What it costs

Most restaurant sites have about 5 pages: home, menu, about, catering or events, and contact. Separate lunch and dinner menus, or a second location, can each have its own page, included in the $390.

Keep Google and the site saying the same thing

Diners trust whatever they saw last, so your hours and menu need to match on the site, on Google and on any delivery app. We set up your Google Business Profile with the same hours, link the menu to the site, and a small update (4 a year in the care plan) covers menu and hour changes.
