Overview
Most diners look you up on a phone, often minutes before deciding where to eat. They want three things fast: the menu, the opening hours and a way to book or order. Many restaurant websites hide these behind slow intros, PDF menus and outdated information. We build sites that load quickly, show the food at its best and put the practical details exactly where people expect them.
Which restaurants do we build for?
- Casual dining and bistros
- Fine dining
- Cafés, bakeries and coffee shops
- Bars and nightlife
- Quick service and takeaway
- Catering companies
- Multi-location restaurant groups
How we build for restaurants
Design approved before development, progress updates every 2–3 days, and support after launch agreed in your quote.
What does a restaurant website need?
- Mobile-first design that loads quickly
- An HTML menu, not a PDF, with prices
- Allergen information
- Direct online ordering or delivery-app links
- Table reservations with confirmations
- Opening hours, address and phone at the top
- Map and directions
- Event, private dining and catering enquiries
- Gift vouchers
- Menus in several languages for tourist areas
Why direct ordering matters
Delivery apps bring visibility but take a commission on every order and keep the customer relationship. Orders placed through your own website avoid that commission on those orders and let you build a customer list you can contact with offers and news.
Most restaurants use both: apps for discovery, the website for regulars. We make direct ordering easy to find and simple to complete, and give regulars a reason to use it, such as a loyalty offer.
Menus people can actually read
PDF menus are slow on phones, hard to read, invisible to search engines and often out of date. An HTML menu loads instantly, can be translated, shows allergens clearly and can be updated by your team in a minute.
Search engines can also read dishes and prices, which helps you appear for searches like “ramen near me” or “vegan brunch in [city]”.
Which features drive revenue?
| Feature | Effect |
|---|---|
| Direct ordering | Orders without third-party commission and with customer data you own |
| Reservations | Fewer phone calls; reminders reduce no-shows |
| Local SEO | Appear for nearby searches and in map results |
| Private dining page | Captures group, event and catering bookings |
| Gift vouchers | Extra revenue, especially around holidays |
Local search for restaurants
When people search “restaurant near me” or “pizza in [district]”, Google shows a map with a few places before any website. Appearing there depends on a complete, accurate Google Business Profile with the right categories, current hours, real photos, your menu and a steady stream of genuine reviews.
Your website supports the profile: consistent name, address and phone, a readable menu, restaurant structured data and pages for each location. We set up both together and keep them aligned when hours or menus change.
Turning first visits into regulars
A guest who enjoyed their meal is your best marketing. Simple tools help bring them back: an email or SMS list with a sign-up incentive, a loyalty offer for direct orders, and a quick review request after the visit.
We connect these to your ordering and reservation systems where possible, so the list grows without extra work for staff.
Common mistakes to avoid
What we see go wrong most often in restaurants projects.
PDF menus
Slow, hard to read and invisible to search. Use an HTML menu.
Outdated hours
Wrong opening hours send customers away. Update the site and Google profile together.
Autoplay videos and slow intros
Hungry people won't wait. Show the essentials first.
Hiding the booking button
Reservations and ordering should be visible on every page.

Frequently asked questions
Can customers order directly from the website?
Yes. We integrate a direct ordering system so customers can order from your site, which avoids delivery-app commissions on those orders.
Will the menu be easy to update?
Yes. You get a simple CMS to change dishes, prices, descriptions and allergens yourself.
Can you use our existing photos?
Yes. We edit and optimise the photos you have. Great real photos of your food and space make a big difference, so we'll advise on what to shoot.
Will my restaurant show up on Google Maps?
We optimise your website and Google Business Profile for local search, which drives map results.
Which reservation systems do you support?
OpenTable, Resy, TheFork and others, or a custom booking form for smaller venues.
Can menus be in several languages?
Yes, useful in tourist areas. Each language can be edited separately.
Can we sell gift vouchers online?
Yes, as digital vouchers with online payment.
Do you show allergen information?
Yes. Allergens can be shown per dish; the information itself comes from your kitchen and must be kept accurate.
Can you build a site for several locations?
Yes, with a page for each location with its own menu, hours and booking.
Can you run our social media and ads?
Yes, through social media management and Meta Ads, which work well for restaurants.
Can we take catering and event enquiries?
Yes, with a dedicated form that collects date, guest numbers and requirements.
Can we show daily specials?
Yes. Specials can be updated in seconds through the CMS and shown on the homepage.
Can we add a QR code menu for tables?
Yes. A QR code can link to your mobile menu, which you update once for both the website and the tables.
