A restaurant website that brings hungry guests to your door

What belongs on a restaurant website

Guests want the right information fast, without searching:

• Opening hours visible at once, always up to date
• Food and drinks menu appetising and easy to read on mobile
• Reservations or contact one tap away
• Real photos of dishes, rooms and team instead of stock images
• Directions and parking, so getting to you is easy
• Mobile first, because the decision is made on the go

You can see which scope suits your place in our packages.

A real example: Alma Portuguesa

The best way to show what this looks like when it's finished is an example. For the Portuguese restaurant Alma Portuguesa in Coimbra we built a site that answers exactly the questions a guest arrives with: What's on the menu, when are you open, where are you, how do I reach you?

Three decisions from that project carry over to almost any restaurant or café:

The strongest action is the phone call. The restaurant doesn't take table reservations, so there is no reservation button pretending to offer something that doesn't exist. Instead, the phone number sits in the header, in the contact section and, on mobile, in a fixed bar at the bottom of the screen.

The menu was checked item by item against the printed menu. The first comparison turned up three mistakes that had crept in while typing it up. 57 dishes on paper, 57 on the site.

On public holidays without set hours, the site claims neither “open” nor “closed”, but asks guests to give the restaurant a quick call. Better an honest question than a guest standing in front of a locked door.

Because guests from all over the world sit at the tables in Coimbra, the site is available in 20 languages. For a restaurant in Bonn or Cologne, German and English are usually enough; the approach is the same.

The whole story is in the Alma Portuguesa case study.

Update it yourself: change your menu and hours in minutes

A lot changes in hospitality: a new menu, holiday opening hours, special offers, closing days. If you have to hire someone every time, it's expensive and slow.

That's why, if you want, we set up your website so that you can update the menu, opening hours and special offers yourself in a few minutes, no technical knowledge needed. Your site stays up to date and guests aren't annoyed by wrong information.

Be found locally by hungry guests nearby

Most restaurant searches are local and spontaneous: “restaurant near me”, “breakfast Bonn”, “pizza Cologne Ehrenfeld”. Whoever shows up here wins the guest.

For that, we provide fast technology, genuine local content and a well-maintained Google Business Profile that works together with your website. Depending on where you are, take a look at web design in Bonn, web design in Cologne or, for day-trip destinations on the Rhine, web design in Königswinter. The basics of visibility are on our page about search engine optimisation.

Personal, fast, honest

You have enough to do in the kitchen and front of house, so we keep the effort for you small. You get two permanent contacts instead of a hotline, and a clear fixed price.

The process: a short introductory chat, a concept with clear costs, the build, fine-tuning together, launch, and afterwards we stay available for maintenance and changes. You can read more about how we work on our about us page. Drop us a line about what kind of place you run, and we'll sort out the rest.
