For restaurants & hospitality

Restaurant sites that fill the room.

Diners decide in 8 seconds — based on photos of the food, the menu, the hours, and whether they can grab a reservation without picking up the phone. We build restaurant sites that win that 8-second decision, push you to the top of "restaurants near me" search, and integrate cleanly with OpenTable, Resy, Toast, Square, and the delivery stack.

What you get
  • Live menu integration (Google Sheet, Toast, Square)
  • OpenTable / Resy / Tock reservation integration
  • Google Business Profile sync + review velocity
Why it matters

Why most restaurant websites lose to a Yelp page

A diner Googles you on a Friday at 6:47pm. They want to see your menu, your photos, your hours, and tap one button to book a table or place an order. If your website takes more than 3 seconds to load, hides the menu inside a PDF, lists hours that haven't been updated since 2019, or makes them call to reserve — they bounce to Yelp, OpenTable, or your nearest competitor. We rebuild the site so the food is the hero, the menu is always current, reservations and orders are one tap away, and Google sees you as the most credible answer to "best [your cuisine] near me."

What you need

What every restaurant website needs

  • Hero gallery with professional food photography (no phone shots, no stock plates)
  • Always-current menu (HTML, not a PDF — Google can't read PDFs)
  • Real hours surfaced in the hero with holiday-hour overrides
  • One-tap reservations via OpenTable, Resy, Tock, or SevenRooms
  • One-tap ordering via Toast, Square, ChowNow, or your direct delivery partner
  • Google Business Profile sync (hours, menu, photos all update from one place)
  • Real customer reviews surfaced live (Google + Yelp)
  • Location-specific pages if you run multiple locations
  • Events + private dining pages (these convert at 5-10× the standard reservation rate)
  • Mobile-first design — 80%+ of restaurant searches happen on phones
Our approach

How we build restaurant sites that fill the room

Food-first visual architecture

Hero gallery built from your best dishes, your dining room, your bar, your patio. We'll work with your existing photography or recommend a 2-hour food-shoot to capture what's missing. The food is the conversion driver — we treat it that way.

Menu + reservation integration

Live HTML menu that updates from a single source (Google Sheet, Toast, Square — your choice). Reservations and orders are one tap away on every page. Hours sync from Google Business Profile so you don't update them in 6 places when you close early for a holiday.

Local rankings + reviews + events

Google Business Profile optimization, schema markup for the dining room + bar + patio, review-velocity tactics, and dedicated landing pages for private dining + events (the highest-ticket inquiries you'll ever get). Plus an Instagram + Google Posts feed that keeps the listing fresh between full website updates.

Client result

Independent Nashville restaurant (NDA) · Farm-to-table dinner concept — East Nashville, TN

Challenge

Existing Squarespace site with a PDF menu, an OpenTable link buried 3 clicks deep, blurry phone-shot food photos, and hours that hadn't been updated in 8 months. Google Business Profile was outranking the website itself for branded searches.

Result

Custom rebuild with professional food photography, live HTML menu, hero-position reservation button, GBP sync, and event-page architecture. Online reservations rose 2.4× in 60 days; private-dining inquiries became a meaningful revenue line for the first time.

Reservations 2.4× in 60 days · New private-dining channel

Pricing

$55/month all-in. One slow Tuesday filled covers a year.

Custom restaurant website with food-photo hero, live menu integration, reservation + ordering integration, GBP sync, mobile PageSpeed 95-100, and unlimited content updates. The math: one well-attended Tuesday night fills the website cost for the year.

Pair with Meta Ads + GBP management. Restaurants live and die on visual social and "near me" search — Instagram + Google Maps are your two strongest channels.

FAQ

Common questions

Can the menu update from one place if I change prices weekly?

Yes. We can wire the menu to a Google Sheet you control, to Toast / Square if you use those, or to a simple admin you log into. Update once, and the website, your printed QR menus, and your Google Business Profile all reflect the change.

Will the site integrate with OpenTable / Resy / Tock?

Yes — we integrate with whichever reservation platform you already use. The button stays visible on every page (header + hero + sticky mobile bar) so a diner can book without scrolling.

Can I take online orders directly through my website?

Yes. We integrate with Toast, Square, ChowNow, BentoBox, or direct delivery partners. For restaurants with high pickup volume, a direct-ordering integration saves the 15-30% commission DoorDash + Uber Eats take per order.

What if I have multiple locations?

Each location gets its own dedicated landing page (separate URL, separate Google Business Profile, separate menu if needed). The locations all share a unified brand site but rank independently in local search — which is the single biggest unlock for multi-location restaurant groups.

Do you do food photography?

We don't shoot it ourselves, but we work with a network of food photographers in Nashville + Middle TN and can recommend one for your concept. Most restaurants need 25-40 hero-quality shots — typically a 2-3 hour shoot once a year as the menu evolves.

How do reviews + Google Business Profile factor in?

For restaurants, Google Business Profile is more valuable than your website itself for first-time discovery. We optimize the GBP, sync hours + menu + photos, set up automated post-meal review prompts, and integrate the review wall directly into the website so social proof shows up everywhere a diner looks.
