Website Design for Restaurants & Cafes

Your food deserves to be discovered. We build restaurant and cafe websites that showcase your menu, fill your tables, and bring in online orders. Stop paying 30% commission to delivery platforms. Own your customers directly.

Why Your Restaurant Needs Its Own Website

Relying solely on delivery apps and social media means you are paying commissions, competing for attention, and building someone else's platform. Here is why your own website changes the game.

Stop Paying 30% Commission

Delivery platforms like Deliveroo and Just Eat take between 15% and 35% of every order. On tight restaurant margins, that is the difference between profit and loss. With your own online ordering system, customers order and pay directly through your website. You keep 100% of the revenue and build a direct relationship with your customers.

People Check Your Website Before Visiting

Research shows that 77% of diners look at a restaurant website before deciding where to eat. They want to see the menu, check the prices, look at photos of the food, and read reviews. If you do not have a website, or yours is outdated, you are losing customers to restaurants that make a better first impression online.

Get Found on Google Maps

When someone searches for "restaurants near me" or "best cafe in Ipswich", Google shows a map with local results. A proper website connected to an optimised Google Business Profile ensures you appear in that map pack. We handle the entire setup so your restaurant shows up with photos, menu highlights, opening hours, and reviews.

Fill Empty Tables with Online Booking

An online table booking system lets customers reserve a table in seconds. They choose the date, time, and party size, and you receive the booking notification instantly. Automatic confirmation emails and reminders reduce no-shows. Customers prefer the convenience, and you fill more covers.

A restaurant website should do more than list your dishes. It should actively bring in new customers and make their experience seamless from discovery to dining.
