For restaurants taking reservations
A restaurant website that takes the table without the app
Diners want the menu, the hours and a table. The site has to give all three without sending them to a marketplace app that charges you per cover.
One job, done properly
A diner deciding where to eat tonight wants the menu, the price level, the hours and a table. Restaurant websites often fail all four: a PDF menu, hours in an image, and a reservation button that sends them to a marketplace. A site with a text menu, clear hours, a direct reservation widget and a private dining page takes the booking and keeps the margin.
We build restaurant sites for that diner. Direct reservations from OpenTable, ResDiary, SevenRooms, Tock or Quandoo. Text menus with prices and allergens. Hours and location marked up for Google. Private dining and events page. Gift vouchers. Real photography of the room and the food. And reviews.

What restaurants with reservations usually ask first
Which reservation systems embed?
OpenTable, ResDiary, SevenRooms, Tock and Quandoo all embed a booking widget in your site, so the reservation is direct and you pay less than a marketplace listing charges.
Menu as a PDF or as text?
Text. Google cannot read a PDF menu properly and diners cannot search it on a phone. Structured menu text with prices, allergens and dietary tags, editable by you.
Private dining and events?
A page with capacity, minimum spend and a form capturing date, numbers and occasion. High-value and usually under-served.
Gift vouchers?
Sold online through your reservation system or a voucher tool. Significant revenue before holidays.
