7 things every restaurant website should have

People look at a restaurant website for a few seconds before they decide. Make those seconds count with these seven basics.

1. The menu, as real text

Put the menu on the page as text, not only as a photo or PDF. It loads faster, works on every phone and can be found on Google.

2. Opening hours and address, instantly

Show them at the top of the page and in the footer, with a link to Google Maps.

3. A tap-to-call button

Most visitors are on a phone. One tap should start a call.

4. Easy booking or ordering

Add a simple reservation form, or a link to your ordering platform, where people can see it without scrolling.

5. Real photos

Photos of your own food and your own room build trust faster than stock images.

6. Reviews

Show a few good reviews and link to your Google profile.

7. Speed on mobile

If the page is slow, hungry visitors leave. Compress images and keep the design light.
