Restaurant Website Design With Online Ordering
Every order through a delivery app costs you up to 30% and hands them your customer. Your own ordering page costs a payment fee and keeps the relationship. That's the entire business case.
We've already built this: Very Rico Food Park
A food park site with a visual menu showcase, location maps and event promotion — built so a hungry person on a phone finds the menu, the hours and the address without pinch-zooming.
Problems we hear before the rebuild
- Menus stuck in PDFs that are unreadable on a phone
- Third-party delivery apps taking 20–30% of every order
- Hours and holiday closures that are wrong in three different places online
- Reservation requests lost in an unmonitored inbox
- No way to promote tonight's event or this week's special
What's included
Menu as real web pages
Dishes, prices, photos, allergens and dietary tags in indexable HTML — so you can appear for "[dish] near me" instead of hiding in a PDF.
Commission-free ordering
Pickup and delivery ordering with card payment, order notes and a kitchen-facing ticket view.
Table reservations
Party size, time and duration rules with confirmation emails, so bookings stop living in someone's DMs.
Opening hours done once
Hours, holiday overrides and an automatic open/closed state on the site, matching the structured data Google reads.
Events and specials
A simple block you update yourself for live music, happy hour or the weekend special.
Local SEO foundations
Restaurant structured data, menu markup, map embed and Google Business Profile alignment for "near me" searches.
The PDF menu is costing you customers
A PDF menu is invisible to search engines and painful on a phone — tiny text, horizontal scrolling, a download prompt. Meanwhile your competitor's HTML menu page shows up when someone searches for a specific dish in your city.
Moving the menu into real pages is usually the single highest-return change a restaurant site can make. It costs nothing extra, it makes the site usable one-handed, and it creates dozens of indexable phrases you previously had no chance of ranking for.
Your own ordering versus the apps
Delivery apps are worth keeping for discovery — they bring you people who've never heard of you. The mistake is letting them handle your regulars too. A customer who already knows your name and orders weekly should be ordering on your site at a payment-processing fee, not at a 30% commission.
So we build ordering that's genuinely easier than the app for a returning customer: saved address, saved card, reorder-last-meal in one tap. Then you put your own link on the packaging, the receipt and the front door, and migrate the regulars over time.
Speed matters more here than anywhere
Restaurant traffic is hungry, mobile and often on patchy mobile data. A site that takes five seconds to show the menu has already lost to whatever loaded first.
We ship statically generated pages with compressed images and no heavy frameworks in the critical path. The menu should be readable in about a second on a mid-range phone on 4G.
Questions we get asked
How much does a restaurant website cost?
A menu-and-hours site with strong local SEO runs $1,200 to $2,500. Adding commission-free online ordering with payments and a kitchen view takes it to roughly $3,000 to $5,000. Multi-location groups cost more, mostly because each location needs its own page, hours and menu.
Will online ordering save us money versus UberEats or DoorDash?
Yes, once volume is reasonable. Apps charge roughly 15–30% per order; your own ordering costs about 2–3% in card fees. At $8,000 a month in orders that's a difference of well over $1,000 a month, so the build typically pays for itself within a few months. Keep the apps for discovery and move your regulars to your own site.
Can we update the menu ourselves?
Yes — dishes, prices, photos and sold-out flags are all editable from an admin area. Price changes shouldn't require a developer.
Do you integrate with our POS or kitchen printer?
Where an API exists, yes — Square, Toast and similar can usually receive orders directly. Otherwise orders arrive as printable tickets plus email or WhatsApp alerts, which works fine for most single-site kitchens.
Can you handle reservations for a busy dining room?
For most restaurants, yes: party size limits, turn times and capacity per slot. If you need complex table-by-table floor management, we'll integrate a specialist tool rather than rebuild it badly.
