People often choose a restaurant on their cell phones in just a few seconds: the menu, photos, hours, and how to make a reservation or place an order all need to be easily accessible. Here are some of the restaurant websites we design and maintain at Webbing, designed to turn website visits into occupied tables and orders.
What Really Matters
Almost all restaurant websites are designed with pretty pictures in mind and overlook the only things customers actually do: look up the menu on their phones, check if there’s a table available on Saturday, and call. If those three things aren’t on the first screen, the website isn’t working for you.
The letter, in text format and editable by you. Scanned PDFs are the most common mistake in the industry: they’re heavy, look bad on mobile devices, and Google can’t read the dishes. A text-based menu can be updated in two minutes when the daily specials change and appears in search results for people who type in the name of a specific dish.
Local SEO is half the battle. Anyone looking for a place to eat types in «restaurant» and the name of the town or neighborhood—almost always on their phone and while hungry. You can win them over with a well-designed Google listing, carefully crafted reviews, structured data on menus and hours, and a dedicated page for each feature that sets you apart: lunch specials, group dining, outdoor seating, and special events.
Reservations with no per-person fee. Reservation platforms charge you for every diner they bring in, even if that person was already a customer of yours. A reservation made through your own website—even if it's just a simple form linked to your email or WhatsApp—is free starting in the second month.
And it should have mobile data. Your customer is looking for you on the street, with poor cell service, and trying to decide between three places. Every extra second means people are heading to the place next door. That’s why we optimize the photos—which is where 90% of restaurant websites fall short.
