Websites for Restaurants
A restaurant website has three jobs: show today's menu, give the address and hours, let people book. Everything else is decoration. We build fast sites that are readable on a phone at a quarter to twelve, that you update yourself from the kitchen, and that feed your Google profile.
Describe my projectWhat we do
Menu always current
Edit the menu from your phone, daily specials, allergens, prices: published in two minutes, without an unreadable PDF or a call to the developer.
Booking and ordering
Zenchef, TheFork, Guestonline integration or a dedicated module; click & collect and delivery with online payment if you want it.
Google profile and reviews
Hours, address and phone consistent between the site and Google, Restaurant and menu structured data, reviews highlighted: being found for 'restaurant' + your neighbourhood.
Photos and atmosphere
A gallery optimised to load fast on 4G, presentation of the team and the place, events and private hire: the site makes people want to come before it gives the address.
The menu, heart of the site
A menu as a PDF or a photo is neither readable on mobile nor indexed by Google. We structure the menu as data (categories, dishes, prices, allergens) displayed cleanly and marked up for search engines. The daily special changes in a minute, and Google can show your menu directly in its results. For a restaurant inside a hotel, see our hotel websites page.
Fast, because the customer is hungry
The typical visitor checks your site on a phone, walking, on an average connection. Every second of loading counts. We deliver a light site (optimised photos, no useless scripts) built with Astro or WordPress depending on your update needs.
Industry constraints
- Allergens: the 14 major allergens must be indicated for dishes, in the dining room and therefore on the online menu if it serves as the reference.
- Prices and notices: prices including tax and service, origin of meats where applicable, 'fait maison' label per French regulation.
- Hours and closures: strict consistency between site, Google and social networks; an outdated closure costs customers and negative reviews.
- Booking and deposits: clear cancellation terms, payment through a certified provider if a deposit is required.
Why ELDEV
Restaurants
We know a restaurateur has no time to manage a website: we design tools that update in a few taps and do not break. The site is fast, the menu is text Google can read (not an image), booking works, and practical information is impossible to miss. You focus on the dining room, the site does its work.
