● RESTAURANTS
Restaurant website design, by people who’ve run restaurants.
We come from inside a hospitality group — hotels and restaurants, monthly close, food cost, cover counts. We build restaurant websites and run the marketing with the same numbers you run the floor with.
What we keep finding
Great kitchens.Neglected websites.
01
The menu is a PDF.
A 4MB PDF menu drops mobile users — which is most of restaurant search — and is invisible to Google. An HTML menu with schema markup shows your dishes in search results and loads before the guest loses patience.
02
Reservations live somewhere else.
If booking means calling during service, or leaving for a third-party page that takes a cut, you're losing the 30%+ of diners who only book online. Resy and OpenTable integrate on your terms — party-size caps, same-day rules, the corner table held off-platform.
03
Online ordering pays GrubHub first.
Marketplace-only ordering hands over 20–30% of every delivery dollar. Direct ordering through Toast or ChowNow cuts that fee in half or better — and the customer data stays yours.
04
The photography sells 2014.
A restaurant website lives or dies by plating. Stock photos and dark phone shots undersell the room and the food. We spec the shot list and bring in a photographer who shoots restaurants for a living.
05
Google doesn't know you're open.
An unclaimed or half-filled Google Business Profile, no local schema, hours that don't match reality — every one of these bleeds covers to whoever ranks next.
06
The site was built for a different restaurant.
Old menus, a chef who left, a private-room page for a room that's now storage. A site that doesn't reflect the operation reads as a restaurant that doesn't care — the opposite of your dining room.
Where to start
Most restaurants start with a Tune-Up.
Working budgets for restaurant paid marketing run $500–$1,500 a month, Meta-led — the cheapest vertical on our benchmark table, because the food photography does the selling.
Spot Fix — $800, credited toward a Tune-Up
One urgent thing: the expired SSL, the dead reservation link, the unclaimed Google Business Profile. Fixed in 1–3 business days.
Tune-Up — $3,500 flat
HTML menu with schema, mobile fixes, branded email, Google Business Profile, reservations integrated on your terms. Three weeks.
Rebuild — from $8,500
Full custom site: photography direction, online ordering that pays you first, private-events page wired to your booking flow. Six to ten weeks. Spread it if you'd rather — $2,500 down, then $550 a month for a year — with a $245/mo Care Plan to keep it fed after launch.
