Websites for coffee shops and restaurants
Hungry people are impatient. Your site has to show the menu, say whether you are open right now and get them through the door, all inside a few seconds on a phone.
A menu people can actually read
A PDF menu is slow, hard to read on a phone and invisible to search. A menu written as text loads instantly, can be updated in minutes and helps you appear when someone searches for a specific dish or drink.
Hours that are always right
Holiday hours, early closes and seasonal changes are the number one reason people give up on a local restaurant. Keep one source of truth and make sure the website and your Google listing match.
Easy ways to order, reserve or cater
Link straight to your online ordering and reservation tools, and give catering its own short inquiry form. A catering request is often worth far more than a single order and tends to be lost in a general contact form.
What your site should have
- Menu as text, with dietary notes
- Hours, including holidays and special closures
- Online ordering and reservation links
- A catering and large-order inquiry form
- Address, parking and a map
- Photos of the food and the room
- Events, live music or specials with dates
Common mistakes
- A PDF menu that is hard to read and impossible to search
- Out-of-date holiday hours
- Auto-playing video or music that slows the page
- No obvious way to ask about catering
How we can help
Common questions
Can my website connect to the ordering system I already use?
Usually, yes. We can link to or embed most popular ordering and reservation tools, so you keep what works and the site gets out of the way.
How fast can a restaurant site be live?
A straightforward one-to-three page site can go live in about a week once we have your menu, photos and hours.
Do I need a website if I am busy already?
A website works while you are closed. It answers hours and menu questions, brings in catering inquiries and helps people who have never heard of you find you.
