Restaurant Website: Online Menu, Reservations, and More Customers
What a restaurant website needs to bring in customers: an easy-to-update online menu, table reservations, a gallery, and opening hours — plus what it costs.
Most people deciding where to eat tonight do the same thing: they Google the name of the place or "restaurant near me," check out the photos, the menu, and the opening hours, and then make a choice. If you're not there with clear information, the decision gets made without you.
An old PDF uploaded to Facebook two years ago won't cut it. It doesn't show up in Google, it's awkward to open on a phone, the prices are out of date, and nobody books a table from a document. A well-built restaurant website solves exactly these problems and turns searches into customers who walk through the door.
Why a Menu on Google Beats a PDF on Facebook
The difference isn't about looks, it's practical. A menu published as a page on your website can be found by Google, read on any phone, and updated by you in a few minutes. A PDF is a closed photo: Google can't "see" what's inside it, the customer has to download a file, and when you change a price you have to redo the whole document.
On top of that, on your own website you control the impression. You put up the good photos, highlight the dishes that sell best, and tell the story of your place. On Facebook, the customer sees you squeezed between ads and other posts.
What It Actually Needs
A restaurant website doesn't have to be complicated. It needs to be clear and to answer the questions every customer has before they come in:
- An easy-to-update online menu — organized by category (breakfast, mains, desserts, drinks), with prices you can change yourself, without having to call anyone.
- Table reservations — a simple button where the customer leaves their name, the number of people, the date, and the time. It reaches you by email or phone.
- A gallery of dishes and atmosphere — real photos of the food and the dining room. This is where appetite and trust are won.
- Location and hours — address with a map, opening hours by day, and a phone button that calls directly from mobile.
That's it. The rest is a bonus. These four things cover 90% of the reasons someone visits a restaurant's website.
How Much a Restaurant Website Costs
The price depends on how much you want the site to do. Here are our real benchmarks:
| What you want | The solution | Price |
|---|---|---|
| One clear page with menu, photos, and contact | Landing page | 290–490 € |
| Full site with menu, gallery, reservations, hours | Presentation website | 490–890 € |
| Online ordering / delivery with payment on the site | Online store | from 690 € |
For most restaurants, cafés, and pizzerias, a presentation website is the right choice. On top of that, optionally, there's maintenance from 29 €/month if you want us to handle updates, hosting, and small changes — or you do it yourself, and we'll teach you how.
How Long It Takes
A simple presentation website is usually ready in one to two weeks from the moment we have your photos and copy. The part that takes the longest isn't the build, it's the materials: good photos of the dishes and the venue. If you have them ready, we move fast.
