A restaurant website with a menu people can read on a phone, live this week.

What diners check before they choose where to eat

Most people decide on their phone, often while already out. They want the menu with prices, whether you are open right now, whether they need to book, and whether you can cater for a dietary need in their group. If any of those takes more than a tap to find, they move on to the next place on the map.

A menu page, not a PDF

PDF menus are slow to open on a phone, hard to read and hard for search engines to understand. Your site has the menu as real text, organised the way you serve it: breakfast, lunch and dinner, or entrées, mains and desserts. Dietary labels appear only where you supply them, and specials can be updated through the polish portal.

Surcharges, opening hours and public holidays

If you charge a weekend or public holiday surcharge, the menu page says so clearly, next to the prices. Opening hours are kept in step with your Google Business Profile, and holiday hours can be changed with a quick message, so nobody turns up to a locked door on a long weekend.

Functions, groups and catering

Group bookings and functions can be worth more than a busy Saturday. The site gives them their own section with your spaces, capacities and set menus as you supply them, and an enquiry form that asks for the date, numbers and budget.

Before you start: what to have ready

• Your current menu. As text, a photo or the PDF you have now. We turn it into a proper menu page.
• Opening hours. Including public holiday hours and when the kitchen closes.
• Food and venue photos. Your own dishes and dining room, not supplier images.
• Booking and ordering links. The table booking and takeaway services you already use.

Getting found for “restaurants near me”

Searches like “Thai near me” or “cafe open now” are answered by Google Maps first, using your Google Business Profile, hours and menu. Your website gives that profile a fast menu page to link to, with your cuisine, suburb and opening hours written as text. We build the on-page structure and help with your profile; we do not promise a ranking.
