What guests check

Six questions a restaurant website must answer fast

Most visitors arrive hungry and in a hurry. Good restaurant website design answers these before they scroll twice.

What's on the menu?

A text menu with prices, descriptions and tags like vegan, dairy-free or gluten-free, easy to read on a phone.

Can I order online?

One clear Order button that opens your own ordering system, with delivery apps listed as a backup.

Can I get a table tonight?

A reservation button linked to your booking systems, plus a phone number one tap away.

Which location is open now?

Address, hours, parking and transit information for each restaurant location, with a map and holiday hours kept current.

Is the food good?

Real food photography of popular dishes, recent reviews and press mentions that show the dining room honestly.

Can you host my party?

Private dining, catering and event pages with room sizes, packages and a short inquiry form.

First impression

Guests taste your food with their eyes first.

A blurry photo or a broken menu sends people to the next tab. We design restaurant pages that make every plate look as good as it tastes.

A photo-led site we redesigned in New York

A New York cosmetic surgery center sells on visuals and bookings, much like a restaurant does. Its rebuild is useful inspiration for a photo-led restaurant website.

What's included

Six things every restaurant website design includes

Each restaurant website design starts from your brand, not a theme. These six pieces come standard.

01

A text menu you can edit

Sections, dishes, prices and dietary tags live in the CMS. Change a special at 4 p.m. and it shows before dinner.

02

Ordering and reservations

Buttons tied to your ordering platform and reservation systems, tracked so you see which page drove each order.

03

Photography that sells

Art direction for a pro shoot, or a hand-picked set of your best images, sized for phones.

04

Gift cards and events

Pages for digital gift cards, private dining, catering, wine club sign-ups and seasonal restaurant events.

05

Speed and search basics

Restaurant schema with your menu URL and cuisine, clean URLs and menu pages that open fast.

06

Access and ownership

Contrast, alt text and forms planned for every user. Ownership of the restaurant domain, code and photos stays with you.

Creating your restaurant website takes about four weeks once we have your menu, photos and logins. We plan the launch around your quiet days.

Examples

Restaurant website examples and the rules behind them

Good restaurant websites look different, but they share habits. Use these four restaurant website examples by type as inspiration, then check the rules every site has to follow.

Want guests from Google too?Our restaurant SEO, from $2,000 a month, is the marketing that puts your digital menu, maps listing and reviews in front of local guests.Restaurant SEO
  1. 01

    Example one, the neighborhood pizzeria

    Order button first
    The top of every page opens online ordering in one tap.
    Menu by category
    Pizzas, salads and drinks sit in short sections with prices.
    Delivery zones
    A simple map helps guests find out if you deliver tonight.
  2. 02

    Example two, the luxury dining room

    Photography leads
    A collection of full-width plates and the chef's story set the tone.
    Reservations up top
    The booking button stays visible as guests scroll.
    Tasting menu pages
    Courses, pairings and dress code for a luxury steakhouse.
  3. 03

    Example three, the café with catering

    Two paths
    Walk-in guests see hours, and offices see catering trays.
    Catering request form
    Date, head count and budget go straight to your inbox.
    Gift cards online
    Digital cards sell all year, not just in December.
  4. 04

    Example four, the supper club or wine bar

    Members area
    Wine club members log in for releases, perks and invites.
    Events calendar
    Tastings and live music nights each get their own page.
    Luxury details
    Dark tones, slow photography and a short wine list.
  5. 05

    Creating a menu guests can use

    Creating a menu page starts with the information guests filter by. Prices, dietary tags like gluten-free, spice levels and popular dishes come first. We keep each section short, so phones don't need endless scrolling.

  6. 06

    Where marketing meets the website

    Restaurant marketing runs on social media, email and Google. Every channel points back to your site, so menu links and booking links need clean URLs that track each click. That way a restaurant owner sees what works, all in one report.

  7. 07

    Accessibility for public businesses

    The Department of Justice says businesses open to the public must make their websites accessible. Its 2022 guidance lists food and drink establishments among them. It names barriers like poor contrast, missing alt text, videos without captions and forms that fail with assistive tools. We design and test against WCAG, the guidelines that page cites, so every user can reach the menu.

  8. 08

    Menus Google can read

    Google's structured data docs list menu as a recommended property for food businesses, holding your menu's URL. We add Restaurant schema with that link and your cuisine type. Then we point your Google menu link to the same page. Google also lets a restaurant post its full menu, with sections, dishes and prices, on its Business Profile.

  9. 09

    Templates or a custom design?

    Website builders get a restaurant online fast. Many templates load heavy scripts, hide the menu in a PDF and look like the place down the street. The restaurant website examples above avoid all three. A custom restaurant website design carries your brand, gives you a site you own and helps guests find you.

Real answers

What restaurant owners ask us

Cost

What should a restaurant budget for a website?

Plan on $6,000 or more for a custom build, paid one time. Menu size, locations, ordering integrations and any photo shoot set the final price, which we confirm in writing.
Design

What makes a great restaurant website?

The best restaurant website design gives every user the menu, hours, location and an order button within one tap. Strong food photography, your brand story and fast pages on phones do the rest.
Steps

How do I build a website for my restaurant?

Gather your menu, logo, photos, hours and ordering logins. Then choose a builder or a designer. We launch most restaurant sites about one month after that information arrives.Read the full answer →
Menu

Should a restaurant menu be a PDF?

No. PDFs pinch and zoom badly on phones and take effort to update. A text menu in the CMS loads fast, works with screen readers and lets search engines and guests find each dish.
Ordering

Can a restaurant website take orders without delivery apps?

Yes. We connect your own ordering platform or your POS systems, so guests order from you. Delivery apps can stay on the site as a backup.
Access

Does a restaurant website need to be ADA accessible?

The DOJ says businesses open to the public must make their websites accessible, and it lists food and drink establishments. We design for contrast, alt text, captions and usable forms.Read the full answer →
