Restaurant websites that fill tables and cut commission.
Your menu should be readable text, not a PDF. Your booking should take two taps. And every order that comes through your own site instead of a delivery app is 30% you keep.

Almost every restaurant website makes the same two mistakes: the menu is a PDF, and ordering goes through a third party that takes a third of the ticket. Both are fixable, and fixing them is worth more than any redesign.
A menu published as real text can be read by Google, by screen readers, and by someone standing outside your door on a phone. Direct ordering, even used by a fraction of your customers, pays for the website many times over.
Building the site and ranking it are two different jobs. The second one is set out on SEO for restaurants.
What's costing you
enquiries right now.
Menus as PDFs
Unreadable on a phone, invisible to search, inaccessible to screen readers, and a pain for you to update.
Commission on every order
Delivery platforms take 15 to 30%. Customers who'd happily order direct often can't find a way to.
Hours nowhere or wrong
The single most-searched thing about a restaurant, and routinely out of date or missing entirely.
Heavy, slow, image-led builds
Beautiful full-screen video that takes eight seconds to load on the street outside your restaurant.
Built for how restaurants
actually win work.
Menus as real content
Structured HTML menus with Menu schema, so dishes and prices can appear directly in search results, and you can update a price in seconds.
Reservations in two taps
OpenTable, Resy or Tock integrated properly, with the booking action visible on every screen.
Commission-free direct ordering
Your own online ordering for pickup and delivery, so you keep the margin the apps currently take.
Hours and location that stay right
Prominent, structured, including holiday hours, and synced with your Google Business Profile.
Events and private dining
Dedicated pages with enquiry forms, usually the highest-margin bookings a restaurant takes.
Genuinely fast on mobile
Optimised for someone on the sidewalk deciding where to eat, not for a designer's monitor.

Why we'd build this on WordPress

- Change a menu price in seconds, no PDF to regenerate
- Connects to OpenTable, Resy, Tock and SevenRooms
- Supports commission-free direct ordering
From first call to launch.

Menu structuring
We turn your menu into structured content with sections, dishes, descriptions, prices and dietary flags, so it's editable in seconds and readable by search engines.
- 02
Ordering economics
We work out what direct ordering is worth against your current delivery-app commission, and build the direct path to capture the customers most likely to use it.
- 03
Booking and events
Reservation system connected, and private dining set up as its own enquiry path since it's usually the highest-margin booking you take.

Build and photography
Site build around your food photography, optimised so image quality survives compression.

Launch and profile sync
Launch with hours, menu and location synced to your Google Business Profile, which is where most people will actually see them.
What moves the price on
a restaurant website.
We quote fixed prices per project rather than by the hour, so scope is what determines cost. These are the four things that move it most.
Number of locations
Each venue needs its own menu, hours, booking link and location page. Multi-location groups are meaningfully more work.
Direct ordering
Adding your own online ordering is the largest single line item, and usually the one that pays for the whole project fastest.
Menu complexity
A fixed menu is simple. Seasonal menus, multiple services, tasting menus and wine lists all add structure.
Photography
Food photography is the single biggest visual factor for a restaurant, and it's the one place we'd push you to spend rather than economise.

Neither is glamorous. Both are worth more than a redesign.

Questions restaurants
ask us most.
Why not just upload our menu as a PDF?+
Because Google can barely read it, screen readers struggle with it, it's awkward on a phone, and you have to regenerate the whole file to change one price. Menus as real text can show dishes and prices directly in search results. It's one of the highest-return changes on a restaurant site.
Can we take orders without the delivery apps?+
Yes. We can set up direct online ordering for pickup and delivery so you keep the 15 to 30% the platforms take. Most restaurants run both (the apps for reach, direct for regulars), and nudge regulars toward ordering direct.
Which reservation systems do you integrate?+
OpenTable, Resy, Tock and SevenRooms are all straightforward. If you don't use one, a simple request form works fine for smaller rooms.
How long does a restaurant website take?+
Usually 2 to 4 weeks, restaurant sites are smaller than most, and the main variable is how ready your menu content and photography are.
Do we need professional food photography?+
For a restaurant, more than almost any other business, yes. Food photography is the single biggest visual factor in whether someone chooses you, and phone photos of plated food rarely hold up.
Can we manage multiple locations?+
Yes, separate location pages with their own menus, hours and booking links, under one site.
