Website design for restaurants & cafés.
A restaurant website that takes bookings. Diners decide fast and mostly on a phone: they want the menu, prices, photos, opening hours and a way to book in a few taps.
- Menu that’s easy to read on phones
- Table booking and ordering links
- Allergen and hygiene info
In short

Mobile menus in HTML (not PDF), prominent booking, opening hours and pages for events and private dining. Google Maps and Instagram drive most first visits.

Where competitors fall short

Menus only as PDFs

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 calendar.
December party bookings, Valentine’s and Mother’s Day are the peaks; summer brings terrace and tourist trade.
