Website development for cafés and restaurants

We set the menu up as an editable block, not a hard-coded page. Soup of the day, brunch dishes or seasonal items you can change yourself. Prefer that I update it? Just send a note. A PDF in Stories is not a substitute: guests want the offer in one stable place.

To launch, a good phone in daylight is often enough: a clean plate, a tidy room, a few bar details. Pro food photography helps later; it is not a launch requirement. Honesty matters more — guests who find something else won’t return. I’ll tell you what to shoot in one afternoon.

It depends on the venue. A small café often works with “come in, we seat free tables” and a phone number. Brunch and evening restaurants usually need booking — a form, a call button or the system you already use. We’ll state it clearly: either “book a table” or “no booking, walk-in welcome”.

Before visiting, guests check three practical things: when you’re open, how to find you and whether allergies or diets work. Hours and a map reduce missed visits. A short allergen note (or “ask the team”) builds trust before they arrive.

It depends on the concept. If it’s one brand with a shared or similar menu, one website is usually enough — with clearly separated addresses, hours and maybe slight menu differences. If the venues are conceptually different (different name, cuisine or audience), separate sites with cross-links work better: guests see they share owners, but each place stays clear on its own.

A simple café site usually takes 7–14 days. From you: current menu (even a draft), hours, address, phone, a few photos of the room and food, and whether you take bookings. Logo and colours if you have them. No photos yet? We can launch with what you have and add more later.
