What Makes a Great Restaurant Website

What Makes a Great Restaurant Website

Most diners check a restaurant's website or social media before deciding where to eat. A good restaurant website answers their questions immediately, without friction.

An Easy-to-Update Online Menu

Prices and dishes change — your menu should be simple enough to update yourself without calling a developer every time.

Clear Hours and Location

This sounds obvious, but it's consistently one of the most commonly hard-to-find pieces of information on restaurant websites — put it somewhere immediately visible.

Table Reservations

A simple reservation form removes the friction of a phone call, especially for diners browsing outside business hours.

Delivery and Takeaway Ordering

If you offer delivery, an order form with M-Pesa payment built in captures orders directly rather than relying entirely on third-party delivery apps and their commissions.

Real, Appetising Photography

Generic stock food photos are easy to spot and don't build the same appetite appeal as real photos of your actual dishes.

Mobile-Friendly, Above All

Most people checking a restaurant's menu are doing it from their phone, often while deciding where to go right now — see our mobile-first design guide.

Get Yours Built
