What gets in the way for cafés and restaurants

  1. Your menu is a blurry PDF

    PDFs are hard to read on a phone and a pain to update. A proper menu page with prices and dietary labels is easier for customers – and for Google.

  2. Delivery apps take a cut of every order

    Delivery apps bring orders, but their commission comes off each one. With online ordering on your own site – part of our Premium package – collection orders come straight to you, so you keep more of each one (card payment fees still apply).

  3. Customers ring to ask if you're open

    Out-of-date hours on your website, Google and Facebook cause confusion. One clear place for opening times, bank holiday hours and directions cuts down the calls.

What your site will do

Built to fill your tables

These are the features we usually build for cafés and restaurants. We'll recommend the ones that suit your business on our call – you only pay for what you need. Anything labelled with a package name is a step up from Professional.

Menu with dietary labels

Your full menu as a proper web page, with prices and labels for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free – and filters to find them.

See it in the demo

Table booking

Customers book a table online – built into your site, or linked to the system you already use, such as OpenTable or ResDiary.

Hours, map & parking

Opening times, bank holiday hours, a map and directions – all easy to update.

Events & private hire

Quiz nights, set menus and private-hire enquiries, each with its own page or form.

Food photos & reviews

A gallery of your dishes and your space, and real reviews from Google or the sites you already use.

Online ordering for collection

Customers choose from your menu, pay by card and you receive the order.

Part of Premium – from £999

Every site also includes: designed for phones first, we write the words, set up for Google with your Google Business Profile, SSL and spam protection.

  • 50% deposit after our call, 50% at launch
  • Care plans from £10 a month, no minimum term

Why we cost less than a big agency

  • Small team, low overheads. No city office or sales team. You pay for design and build time, nothing else.
  • Proven parts, custom design. Booking, quote forms, menus and galleries are built and tested already, so our time goes on your design.
  • Fixed scope. Set page counts and rounds of changes mean no open-ended hourly billing.
  • A short brief, not workshops. A 15–20 minute questionnaire and one call replace weeks of discovery meetings.

What you don't get: brand strategy workshops, custom illustration or a dedicated account manager. If you need those, an agency is the right choice.

Four promises on every order

See your design before we build the rest

We design your homepage first and send you a private preview. If you don't love it after two rounds of changes, you can walk away and we refund your deposit in full.

Fixed price, agreed before any work starts

The price on our call is the price you pay. Anything extra is quoted in writing first and never started without your OK.

You own it – no lock-in

Your domain is registered in your name, and once the final payment is made the site is yours. Leave whenever you like and we'll hand over the files and help you move.

Live when we say

We agree a launch date once we have your brief. If we miss it through our own delay, your first 3 months of care plan are free – or £30 off your final invoice if you don't take one.

An example week

A week with your new website

What the site gets on with while cafés and restaurants are busy doing the work.

  1. Mon 11:20

    “Is there anything vegan?”

    The menu page filters it in one tap – no PDF to pinch and zoom.

  2. Wed 16:05

    Table for four, Friday 7.30

    Booked online in the quiet hour between lunch and dinner.

  3. Thu 18:10

    “Are you open on the bank holiday?”

    Hours, map and parking are on the first screen.

  4. Fri 21:45

    A private-hire enquiry

    A 40th birthday, 30 guests – the form asks for the date and numbers.

  5. Sun 09:30

    Brunch photos do the selling

    Your own food, not stock photos – and they open fast on a phone.

An example to show how the site works for you – the people, times and details are made up. It isn't a forecast.

FAQ

Questions from cafés and restaurants

Can customers order takeaway online?

Yes. Online ordering and payments are part of Premium: customers choose from your menu, pay by card and you receive the order. Card payments go through a provider such as Stripe or Square, whose fees apply. If you already use an ordering service, we can link to it from any package instead.

Can I update the menu myself?

Yes, if you'd like to – tell us on our call and we'll set the menu up so you can change dishes and prices yourself. Or send changes to us: small edits like prices are included in the Maintained and Priority care plans.

Can the menu show allergens?

We can label dishes as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and so on, and add a clear note telling customers how to ask about allergens. You provide the allergen information and stay responsible for keeping it accurate.

Can customers book a table online?

Yes. Professional and Premium include online bookings. If you already use a reservation system such as OpenTable or ResDiary, we link to it or embed it so bookings stay in one diary.

How much does a website for cafés and restaurants cost?

Most cafés and restaurants fit Professional: up to 8 pages with your menu, table booking, events and a gallery. Taking takeaway orders and card payments online is part of Premium. Our prices are fixed: Starter £299 (up to 3 pages), Essential £549 (up to 5 pages), Professional £749 (up to 8 pages, including online booking and a gallery) and Premium from £999 (online ordering, payments and custom features). It's £0 to order: we call you to confirm the price in writing, then invoice a 50% deposit, with the other 50% due at launch. Hosting is on a monthly care plan from £10 a month, with no minimum term. No VAT to add – we're not VAT registered.

How long does it take?

Starter sites are usually live within a week of receiving your brief and photos, Essential in about 2 weeks and Professional in 2–3 weeks; Premium timelines are agreed together. We design your homepage first – if you're not happy after two rounds of changes, you can walk away and we refund your deposit in full. Once the final payment is made, the site is yours.
