Where competitors fall short
What most restaurants & cafés get wrong online.
✕
Menus only as PDFs
✕
Out-of-date opening hours
✕
No booking button
✕
No pages for events or private dining
Fixing these four things is usually enough to stand out against most restaurants & cafés’ websites.
Rules worth knowing
Allergen information must be available to customers, and prepacked-for-direct-sale food must carry full ingredient labels (Natasha’s Law). Show your food hygiene rating proudly if it’s good.
When demand peaks
The restaurant search calendar.
December party bookings, Valentine’s and Mother’s Day are the peaks; summer brings terrace and tourist trade.
Typical demand pattern from seasonal search interest; your own business may differ.
