Restaurant websites with an online menu and bookings

We build websites for restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias and bars: an online menu that is easy to read on a phone, table booking with automatic confirmation, photos that convey the atmosphere of the dining room and a dashboard to change everything yourself, even the dish of the day.

We are in Milan and also look after venues in Naples and the rest of Italy, remotely too.

01

An online restaurant menu, always up to date and readable on a phone

The menu is the most opened page of a restaurant website, often from the pavement or at the table. A scanned PDF that has to be zoomed with two fingers tries people's patience; a menu written as real text, split by course, with short descriptions and allergens marked, can be read at a glance.

You update it from the dashboard when the season changes or an ingredient runs out: add a dish, remove one that is sold out, change a price. Because it is text and not an image, Google can read it and show it to people looking for a specific dish in your area.

02

Online table booking with automatic confirmations and reminders

Someone who wants to book at eleven at night does not want to call the next day. With a booking form on the site they choose date, time and number of guests, and the system only accepts slots where you really have room, based on the sittings and capacity you set.

The guest immediately receives a confirmation by email or SMS and a reminder before dinner, from which they can confirm or move the booking. You see everything in a single calendar, close rest days or private evenings, and receive a summary of the day's bookings.

03

Google profile, map and reviews connected to the site

Many guests discover a restaurant on Google Maps, not on its website. That is why name, address, phone number and opening hours must be identical on the site and on your Google Business Profile, which in turn should link to the right pages: menu and booking.

On the site we add the map and directions. Reviews can be requested consistently with an automatic message sent a few hours after dinner, with a direct link to your Google profile: it is an automation we can add to the site.

04

Photos of the dining room and dishes that make people want to come in

For a restaurant, images matter more than any text: the room in the evening light, the outdoor seating, the bar, dishes seen from above. A few real, well-taken photos beat lots of stock images, which anyone who has been to your place would immediately recognise as fake.

We prepare them to load fast even on a phone connection, and arrange them to tell the story of the place: who you are, what you cook, what kind of evening awaits the people who book.

05

Events, themed evenings and special menus

Valentine's Day, Christmas lunch, a tasting with a guest winery, the Sunday brunch menu: every occasion needs its own page, to share on social media and connect to booking.

From the dashboard you create the event with its date, dedicated menu and available seats, and archive it once it is over. The home page stays clean, and people arriving from an event link immediately find everything they need to book.

06

A multilingual site for tourists, managed by you

If you work in the centre, near a museum or in a tourist area, a good share of your guests do not speak Italian. Menu, booking and contact page in English, and other languages if needed, avoid many difficult phone calls and wrong bookings.

All versions are updated from the same dashboard, together with menu, opening hours, photos and events. We hand over a user manual, domain and hosting stay in the restaurant's name, and after the site goes live we remain available for changes and support.

FAQ

01How much does a restaurant website cost?

It depends on what it has to do: a site with a menu and contacts is simpler than one with table booking, events, several languages and automations for reminders and reviews. The first consultation is free, and afterwards we send you a clear quote.

02Can I change the menu myself, even every day?

Yes. From the dashboard you add, remove or edit dishes, prices and allergens, even from your phone, and the menu on the site updates straight away.

03Do bookings from the site clash with those taken by phone?

No, as long as they go in the same calendar: phone bookings are entered by hand from the dashboard and take up seats just like online ones, so the system never accepts more guests than you can seat.

04Do I need a website if I already have a Google profile and social media?

Your Google profile and social media get you found, but the website is the only space that is entirely yours, where menu, bookings and events are under your control. They work best together: the Google profile and your posts point to the site.

05Can we reduce booked tables that stay empty?

Automatic confirmations and reminders remind guests of their booking and let them move or cancel it with one click, so you know earlier when a table frees up. We cannot promise numbers, but it is the simplest way to avoid finding out at the last minute.

06Have you already built restaurant websites?

You can try our interactive demo of a restaurant website and see examples of booking management, reminders and review requests. We have built sites with direct booking for other sectors, such as the holiday homes of Federica Prestige Stay.
