(Web Design · Restaurants & Hospitality)
Restaurant websites that
fill covers and
take online orders.
WebAnts builds websites for restaurants, cafés and hospitality businesses, with reservation integration, digital menus, and local SEO that brings in new diners.
What your site needs to do
- →Online menu with dietary filters (vegan, gluten-free, allergens)
- →Reservation integration (OpenTable, SevenRooms, ResDiary, Resy, custom)
- →Online ordering for collection or delivery (or third-party integration)
- →Location and opening hours page optimised for "restaurant near me"
- →High-quality food photography that makes people hungry on arrival
- →Gift voucher purchase flow
- →Events and private dining enquiry pages
- →Google Business Profile sync and local SEO
Common problem
Losing covers to competitors online
Diners increasingly choose where to eat based on the website experience, slow, outdated, or hard-to-navigate sites send customers straight to a competitor with a better booking flow.
Common problem
Reservations only by phone
Many bookings are made at 11pm after a show, at work, or on a commute. Phone-only reservations mean you miss every cover that enquires outside your operating hours.
Common problem
PDF menus Google can't read
A menu locked inside a PDF is invisible to search engines and to customers on mobile. A live HTML menu page ranks for dish-specific searches and updates in minutes without a developer.
Common problem
Not in the Google Maps pack
For "restaurant near me" and cuisine-specific searches, appearing in the Google Map Pack drives the majority of new foot traffic. Without optimised local SEO, you're invisible to first-time diners.
(What we build)
Built for hospitality,
not adapted from a template.
01
Interactive Digital Menu
A live HTML menu page with dietary filters (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free), allergen information, seasonal sections, and daily specials, updatable by your team without touching code, and fully indexable by Google.
02
Reservation System Integration
Seamless integration with OpenTable, SevenRooms, ResDiary, Resy, or a custom enquiry form for smaller venues, embedded directly into your site so diners book without leaving the page and abandoning the flow.
03
Online Ordering & Collection
Commission-free online ordering for collection or delivery, built directly into your site, or integration with your existing Deliveroo or Uber Eats operation. We advise on the right approach for your volume and margins.
04
Location & Opening Hours SEO
Restaurant schema structured data, Google Business Profile alignment, and location pages optimised for "restaurant [area]" and cuisine-specific searches, the technical foundation that gets you into the Google Maps pack.
05
Private Dining & Events Pages
Dedicated pages for private dining rooms, corporate events, celebrations, and hire, with capacity information, sample menus, pricing guidance, and an enquiry form that pre-qualifies group size and date.
06
Gift Voucher Store
A simple gift voucher purchase flow integrated directly into your site, a significant revenue stream for celebrations, corporate gifting, and Christmas, without relying on third-party gift voucher platforms taking a commission.

(FAQ)
Questions about
restaurant websites.
How much does a restaurant website cost?
A professional restaurant website with a homepage, digital menu, reservation integration, and a Google Business-optimised location page typically costs £2,000–£8,000. A multi-location site with online ordering, private dining pages, and a gift voucher store typically costs £6,000–£15,000. Flat written quote after a free discovery call.
Which reservation platform do you integrate with?
We integrate with OpenTable, SevenRooms, ResDiary, Resy, and Quandoo, embedding the booking widget directly into your site pages so customers can reserve without being redirected to a third-party platform. For smaller venues that don't use a booking platform, we build a custom availability enquiry form with email and SMS notification. We advise on platform choice based on your cover count and budget.
Can you build an online ordering system or integrate with Deliveroo / Uber Eats?
Both. We can build a commission-free online ordering system directly on your site, ideal for collection-only or high-volume delivery operations that want to reduce third-party fees. Alternatively, we can surface your Deliveroo or Uber Eats menus on your site and drive orders through those platforms. We'll recommend based on your current order volume and whether commission fees are a concern.
How do I comply with allergen regulations on my digital menu?
UK food businesses are required under Natasha's Law to provide full allergen information for pre-packed food, and restaurants must be able to provide allergen information on request. We build digital menus with 14-allergen filters and prominently displayed allergen disclaimers, structured so your team can update dish allergen data without developer involvement. We recommend you review the information with your front-of-house manager before go-live.
Can you build a website for multiple restaurant locations?
Yes. For multi-location groups, we build a single site with individual location pages, each with its own address, phone, opening hours, menu (if different), and Google Business Profile alignment. This structure performs significantly better for local SEO than a single page listing all locations. We've built multi-branch sites for hospitality groups with 2 to 12 locations.
How do I get my restaurant to appear in Google Maps results?
Google Map Pack rankings for restaurant searches are driven by Google Business Profile completeness, proximity to the searcher, and your website's local SEO signals. We optimise your GBP listing (categories, hours, menu link, photo uploads), add Restaurant and LocalBusiness schema to your site, ensure your NAP is consistent across all directories, and build location-specific meta titles and headings. For competitive areas, we can supplement with a local review acquisition strategy.
