Hungry customers decide quickly, usually on a phone, and often while standing somewhere nearby. A restaurant website that answers their questions in a few seconds wins the visit. Here is what every restaurant website should include.
The essentials
- A real web menu. Menus published as text load fast, read well on phones, and can be found by search engines. A PDF alone does not do the same job.
- Accurate hours, including holidays, shown on the homepage and kept current.
- Address, map, and directions, with parking or accessibility notes where they help.
- A tap-to-call phone number and clear links for ordering, delivery, or reservations.
- Real photos of your food and space, compressed so they load quickly.
- Links to your social media accounts, so customers can see what is new.
Set up your Google Business Profile
Many customers will see your Google Business Profile before they ever see your website. Make sure your categories, hours, menu link, photos, and ordering links are complete and match your website. Respond to reviews and update holiday hours before they arrive.
Plan for more than one location
If you have multiple locations, give each one its own page with its own hours, address, map, and phone number. A single page that lists every location makes it harder for customers and search engines to find the right one.
Keep it easy to update
A restaurant changes constantly: seasonal dishes, price updates, new hours, special events. If updating the website is a hassle, it will fall out of date. Choose a setup where your team can change the menu and hours in minutes.
