WEB DESIGN FOR RESTAURANTS
Restaurant websites that make diners book, order, or drive straight to you. Photo-forward, fast on mobile, with menu and reservation integrations built in.
WEBSITES THAT FILL TABLES
A restaurant website is a marketing asset, not a brochure. Diners arrive from Google Maps or social, check hours, look at the menu, make a call about whether it's somewhere they want to spend two hours and $150, and decide. Your website has about 30 seconds to close that decision.
We build restaurant websites around the things diners actually care about: real food photography, the full menu (with prices) in one tap, reservations without a third-party download, and dead-simple directions. Anything that doesn't serve those goals gets cut.
Menu in One Tap
Full menu with prices, dietary tags, and search — loads instantly, no PDFs, no lightboxes.
Reservations
OpenTable, Resy, or built-in forms. Guests reserve in seconds without leaving your site.
Photo-Forward
Designed around beautiful food photography — because diners eat with their eyes first.

Web Design for Restaurants FAQ
How much does a restaurant website cost?
Most independent restaurants invest $4,000-$10,000. Full-service builds with custom photography and private events flows run $10,000-$20,000.
Do I need OpenTable / Resy, or can we do reservations in-house?
Either works. OpenTable/Resy gives you marketplace exposure but takes a cut per cover. Built-in reservations keep 100% of the margin but require your team to manage inbox / calendar. We build for whichever fits.
Can you help with food photography?
Yes. We can coordinate a local food photographer or art-direct your existing photos. Great photography moves the needle more than almost any design choice in this industry.
How do we handle menu changes?
We build the menu on a CMS (Sanity, Contentful, or similar) so your team can update prices, add specials, or mark items as seasonal in minutes — no developer needed.
Do you handle ongoing updates?
Yes. Monthly maintenance covers updates, seasonal menu swaps, event pages, and support. Some restaurants prefer one-and-done launches; we can do either.
