Websites for restaurants
People who visit a restaurant’s website usually do it on their phone, often already out on the street, with one of four questions: what’s on the menu, how much it costs, whether there’s a table and how to get there. The website has to answer them without anyone zooming into a PDF or hunting for the phone number.
What hungry people look for
A menu they can read
A PDF menu means pinching and dragging on a phone. As text on the page it reads at a glance, with the price and allergens next to each dish.
Whether there’s a table
Calling at the dinner rush is a gamble, for the guest and for whoever picks up with their hands full. Booking on the website, or a WhatsApp message with the day and party size, solves it.
Today’s specials
If you run daily specials, that’s what regulars check on weekdays. They need to be front and center and up to date.
The key piece: menu, specials and reservations
A restaurant doesn’t need one single tool: the key piece is three small things done well. The menu as text, laid out the way it is in the dining room. The daily specials on the home page, easy to update. And table reservations, with day, time and party size, that reach you with all the details or by WhatsApp.
We don’t have a restaurant demo to show you yet. On the call, we’ll walk you through what yours would look like.

Questions from restaurants
I’m already on Google Maps and reservation apps. Why do I need a website?
To have a place of your own, with your menu and your photos, that your Google Business Profile and social accounts link to. On the apps you sit next to the competition, on their terms; on your website, you don’t.
Do I have to list allergens?
The rules depend on where you are, and a website isn’t always covered by them. But allergens are what many guests check before they go, and listing them next to each dish saves them a phone call.
I change the menu every season.
Good. Since it’s text, changing dishes and prices is quick, and whatever comes off the menu disappears from the website the same day.
