What the site includes
A menu as real, editable pages
Dishes as text your kitchen can update the same day, readable on a phone without zooming, with structured data so search engines understand what you serve. This is the single change that turns a restaurant site from a business card into something findable.
Accurate hours and a live open indicator
Current opening status shown in real time, including different hours for different days or a kitchen that closes before the room does. I've built exactly this kind of live indicator for a client whose customers check before setting out.
Table reservations
Booking handled on your site or integrated with the system you already use, so a visitor who has decided doesn't have to call during service to say so.
Private events as their own path
Group bookings and private hire with capacities, formats, what's possible and how to enquire — including a deposit online where that suits you. I've built Stripe payment into a client's site for that kind of transaction.
Local search and map visibility
LocalBusiness structured data, correct address and hours, and content about the area — the signals that decide whether you appear when someone nearby searches for somewhere to eat.
Fast photography and language versions where needed
Food photography without the slow pages it usually causes, and correctly structured language versions for venues serving visitors from abroad. I've built multilingual sites whose visitors arrive from more than twenty countries.
The menu is the site
Almost every visit to a restaurant website is driven by one of three questions: what do they serve, are they open, and can I get a table. Answering those three on a phone within a few seconds is most of what the site is for. Everything else — the story, the interiors, the chef's biography — matters only to visitors who got past those first questions satisfied.
Which makes the standard habit of publishing the menu as a PDF the most expensive decision in the field. It fails on all three counts at once. On a phone it requires pinching and zooming to read, which is enough to lose people. It's invisible to search engines, so the restaurant competes only for its own name rather than for the food it actually serves. And because updating it means regenerating a file, it drifts out of date until the version people are reading isn't the one being cooked.
Publishing the menu as ordinary pages fixes all of it. Dishes become text your kitchen can change the same day, readable without effort, and — with the right structured data — legible to search engines and AI assistants, which increasingly answer questions like "where can I eat something specific nearby" with a short list rather than a page of links. People search for dishes and cuisines far more than for restaurant names, and a menu locked in a file participates in none of that.
Opening hours deserve more care than they usually get, for a simple reason: checking whether somewhere is open is one of the most common things a person does before leaving the house. Hours that are wrong are worse than hours that are missing, because the second sends someone to call and the first sends them to a closed door. A live indicator based on your real schedule, including a kitchen that closes before the room, is straightforward to build — I've implemented exactly that for a client whose customers routinely check before setting out.
Then there's the part most restaurant sites leave almost invisible: private events. Group bookings and closed events are frequently the most profitable evenings of a month, and on the majority of sites they amount to a sentence in the contact page. Giving them a real page — capacities, formats, what's possible, how far ahead to ask — makes them plannable, which is the only way anyone books them.
How the work goes
We look at the venue
What you serve, how often the menu changes, your hours including kitchen times, whether you take reservations and how, and whether events are part of the business.
I design the structure
How the menu is organised and updated, what appears first on a phone, how reservations work, and where events and local content sit.
Build and optimise
Design, development, menu structure and structured data, opening indicator, reservation integration, local SEO, image performance and language versions where needed.
Launch and support
The site goes live, your team updates the menu and hours themselves, and I stay available as the venue changes.
