People search for restaurants on their phones, often minutes before they decide where to eat. A simple, fast website with your menu wins those decisions.
What your site needs
- Menu as a web page, not only a PDF or photo, so it loads fast and appears in search.
- Location with a map, directions and parking notes.
- Opening hours that are always current.
- Order and booking buttons: WhatsApp, phone, delivery apps or your own ordering form.
- Photos of real dishes and the space.
Step 1: your domain
A domain like yourrestaurant.com looks professional on menus, bags and social media. Register your restaurant's domain at IDX.
Step 2: hosting
A restaurant site is light, so shared hosting is enough to start and includes free SSL. If you want online ordering with WooCommerce, choose web hosting for more resources.
Step 3: build it
WordPress with a restaurant theme gives you menu, gallery and booking pages quickly. Keep text short and make the call and WhatsApp buttons large.
Step 4: get found
Create a Google Business Profile with the same name, address and phone as your site, link to your website from it, and encourage reviews.
Step 5: email for suppliers and events
Use an address such as events@yourrestaurant.com for bookings and catering; business email keeps it professional.
