A good website for restaurants is not a brochure. It should help hungry people decide quickly: the menu, the hours, the location and a way to book or order. Here is what that takes, page by page.
What your website has to do
For restaurants, the job of the website is to help hungry people decide quickly: the menu, the hours, the location and a way to book or order. Everything below serves that.
What your customers search for
- “restaurants near me”
- “[cuisine] restaurant [city]”
- “brunch [neighborhood]”
- “private dining [city]”
- “[restaurant name] menu”
The pages that matter
| Page | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Home | Photos of the food and room, hours, address and Book / Order buttons. |
| Menu | A real HTML menu, not a PDF, with prices and dietary labels. |
| Private events | Capacity, menus and an enquiry form. |
| About | Your story, the chef and what makes you different. |
| Contact and hours | Hours that match Google, parking and accessibility. |
Features worth having
- HTML menus you can update yourself
- Reservation and ordering links (Resy, OpenTable, Toast and similar)
- Restaurant and Menu schema
- Gift card link
Getting found in Google and AI answers
Keep hours, menu and address identical on your site, Google Business Profile and booking platforms. AI assistants and Google both lean on that consistency, and a text menu lets them see what you serve. Every site we build includes technical SEO, structured data and fast loading as standard.

Common mistakes
- PDF menus that are unreadable on phones and invisible to search
- Hours that differ between the site and Google
- Autoplay video that slows everything down

Frequently asked questions
Can staff update the menu?
Yes. Menus are simple to edit, so a manager can change a dish or a price in a minute.
Do we need a website if we have Instagram?
Instagram is great for buzz, but Google and AI assistants answer "what is on the menu" and "are they open" from websites and listings.
