Websites for restaurants

Somebody is standing outside deciding where to eat. They have your name, a phone, and about forty seconds.

What they need in forty seconds

Are you open now. Where exactly are you. What does the food cost. That is the whole decision, and a restaurant website that answers those three things faster than the next one wins the table. In Bhubaneswar that means a landmark people actually use, Master Canteen or Jaydev Vihar, not just a plot number.

Everything else on a restaurant site is decoration.

The menu is the website

A menu as a PDF is the most common mistake in this trade. On a phone it opens in a separate viewer, loads slowly, and has to be pinched and dragged to read. A good number of people who tap it give up before it opens.

A menu written as an ordinary web page reads instantly, can be searched, and can be changed by you when a price moves. It is also the only version Google can read, which matters when somebody searches for a dish rather than a restaurant.

Hours

Wrong hours are worse than no hours. A customer who arrives at a closed restaurant does not come back, and often says so publicly.

We set the hours in one place so the website and your Google listing say the same thing, including the days you close.

Photographs

Not stock photography, and not the dish as it looked three years ago. Six good photographs of what you actually serve, taken in daylight, will do more than sixty poor ones.

The map pin is the whole business

For a restaurant, the Google listing outranks the website for almost every search that matters. Hours, photographs, the menu link and reviews all live there, and that is where the customer decides.

The website’s job is to be the thing the listing points at, and to be right. Same name, same address, same hours, same phone. When those disagree, Google trusts neither, and you drop out of the box where the decision gets made.

We set the listing up and keep it in step with the site. It is on every plan, including the cheapest.

What it costs

A restaurant site with a readable menu, hours, directions and WhatsApp enquiries is a Starter plan: ₹12,000 to build and ₹9,000 a year. That is the smallest thing we sell and it is the right size for most single-location restaurants.

Prices do not include GST.

Move up to Business if you have more than one branch, or if you want a page for each cuisine or each private dining room that people search for separately.

  • What these businesses tell us

    • The menu is a PDF that nobody can read on a phone
    • Opening hours are wrong or missing
    • Table enquiries go to an inbox nobody checks
  • What the site needs

    The menu as web pages your staff edit

    Each section opens straight away on a phone, and changing a price takes a minute with no file to replace.

    One set of opening hours behind the site

    Edit them once, festival closures included, and the website and your Google listing both follow.

    A WhatsApp button for table enquiries

    Requests land in the app your counter staff already watch during service.

    A directions block built on a landmark

    Names the crossing or building people navigate by, and says where a car goes, so a first visit needs no phone call.

    A Google listing kept in step with the site

    Name, address, phone and hours match in both places, which is what keeps you in the results diners pick from.

  • Most of these start on the Starter plan. See the plans

  • Questions people ask

    Can we take orders for delivery?

    You can, but think first. Most restaurants already lose a share to the delivery apps, and running your own ordering only pays once you have regulars who would use it. We will look at your numbers before recommending it.

    Can we update the menu ourselves?

    Yes, and you should. Changing a price should take a minute and cost nothing. If you would rather send it to us on WhatsApp, that works too.
