Restaurant website design: A restaurant website that gets people to the table.
Conversion Crest handles restaurant website design, fixes, and monthly maintenance for independent restaurants. Your site will load fast on phones, show today's menu and hours, and make it easy to order, book, or call.
Why it matters
What a restaurant website needs to do
A restaurant website has one job: help a hungry person decide to eat with you, then make ordering, booking, or calling effortless. Your menu, hours, location, photos, and clear buttons matter far more than fancy features.
Many visitors are on a phone, often standing on a sidewalk or sitting in a car. They want the menu, prices, hours, and a way to order, and they want it fast. If they have to pinch and zoom a PDF or wait for a slow page, many will give up. That's just as true for a bakery's one-page site as for a restaurant group with several locations.
Your Google listing sends a lot of people to your site, so the two need to match. I keep them in sync with Google Business Profile management for restaurants.
Services
Restaurant website design, fixes, and maintenance
Pick what you need: a new website, fixes to the one you have, or a monthly plan that keeps it current.
Restaurant website fixes
New menu, holiday hours, this week's specials, broken links, pages that look wrong on phones. Send it over and it gets fixed.
Restaurant website maintenance
Monthly updates, backups, and security and speed checks, so your site keeps working and you never have to think about it.
Common problems
Restaurant website problems I fix
These are the problems I see most often on restaurant websites. Every one of them sends customers away.
-
PDF-only menu
Slow to open, hard to read on a phone, and invisible to Google. I turn it into a real menu page.
-
Slow on phones
Huge images and bloated code make visitors wait. I make pages load fast.
-
Broken links and buttons
Order buttons that go nowhere and links to old pages. I find them and fix them.
-
Outdated hours and specials
Last season's menu and last year's holiday hours. I keep them current.
-
Hard to order or book
Buttons buried at the bottom of the page. I put them front and center.
-
Locked out of your own site
An old web designer holds the keys. I help you get access back, or rebuild on something you own.
Online ordering and reservations
Works with the ordering and reservation tools you already use
You don't need to switch systems. I connect your website to the ordering, reservation, and POS tools you already have, so guests can order or book in a couple of taps.
If you're paying high commissions on third-party delivery apps, I can help you send more guests to your own direct ordering link instead. And a sign-up form on your site is the easiest way to start restaurant email marketing.
For example
- Online ordering: Toast, Square, ChowNow, Clover, and similar
- Reservations: OpenTable, Resy, Tock, and similar
- Gift cards, catering, and private event requests
- Your menu, hours, and map, matching your Google listing

FAQ
Restaurant website questions
How much does a restaurant website cost?
With Conversion Crest, an Essentials one-page website is $1,497, a Standard website of up to 6 pages is $2,997, and a Premium website of up to 12 pages starts at $4,997. Ongoing website care is $97/month on its own, or included in every monthly plan. One-off fixes are $85/hour with a 1-hour minimum.
Do I need a new restaurant website, or can mine be fixed?
Often your current site just needs fixing and speeding up. If it's very slow, hard to update, or built on something you can't access, a rebuild usually costs less in the long run. Your free audit will tell you honestly which makes more sense.
How long does it take to build a restaurant website?
It depends mostly on how quickly your menu, photos, and details come together. You'll get a clear timeline before any work starts, and small fixes are usually done within a few business days.
Will my website work with Toast, Square, or OpenTable?
Yes, in most cases. I connect the ordering, reservation, and POS tools you already use, such as Toast, Square, ChowNow, OpenTable, Resy, or Tock. You don't need to switch systems.
Should my restaurant menu be a PDF?
It's better as a regular web page. A PDF menu is slow to open on phones, hard to read, and harder for Google to understand. A web page menu loads fast, is easy to update, and can be linked from your Google listing.
Who owns my restaurant website and domain?
You do. Your domain, content, and photos belong to your restaurant. If you ever stop working with me, you keep everything.
What does restaurant website maintenance include?
Software and security updates, backups, speed and broken-link checks, and your small content changes like menus, hours, and specials, all handled each month.
