Website design for restaurants and caterers

Diners check the menu, the hours and the photos before they book a table. We build restaurant and catering sites that answer those questions in seconds on a phone.

Overview

A restaurant website people actually use

Most visitors to a restaurant website want four things: the menu, the hours, the location and a way to book or order. Effective website design for restaurants puts all four within one tap of the home page. Long animated intros and menus uploaded as PDF files slow people down and are a struggle to read on a small screen.

We build menus as real web text, so they load quickly, are easy to update when prices change and can be read by search engines. Reservations and online ordering connect to the services you already use rather than replacing them.

Catering is a different sale. Event planners and office managers want package options, minimum orders, dietary choices and lead times before they reach out. A dedicated catering section with a detailed enquiry form turns that research into well-qualified leads for your kitchen.

What the site needs

What we build into restaurant and catering sites

Menus you can edit

Menu items, prices and dietary icons managed from WordPress, so a price change or seasonal dish goes live in minutes without a designer.

Reservations and ordering

Links or embeds for the table booking and ordering platforms you already use, plus your own pickup ordering if you prefer to avoid commissions.

Catering enquiries

Package pages and a form that asks for date, headcount, budget and dietary needs, so your team can quote without three emails back and forth.

Accurate hours everywhere

Holiday hours, patio season and special events updated on the site and on your Google Business Profile together, so nobody arrives to a locked door.

Why not just upload our menu as a PDF?

Two Trees Studio

PDF menus are slow to open on phones, need pinching and zooming to read and are hard for search engines to understand. They are also easy to forget when prices change. A text menu built into the site loads instantly, matches your branding and is something your staff can change in a couple of minutes. We can still offer a printable version.

Can we take online orders without paying delivery app commissions?

Two Trees Studio

Yes. We can add pickup ordering through WooCommerce or a restaurant ordering plugin, with payments going directly to your account. Customers order from your site and collect at the counter. You may still keep third-party delivery apps for reach, but your regulars can order directly, which keeps more of each sale in the business.

Do caterers need a separate website?

Two Trees Studio

Not usually. A catering section inside the restaurant site works well and shares the reputation you already have. If catering is a separate business with a different name or kitchen, a dedicated site can make sense. Either way, catering pages need packages, minimums, lead times and an enquiry form that collects event details.

How important is our Google Business Profile?

Two Trees Studio

For restaurants, often more important than the website itself. Many diners decide from the map listing: photos, hours, reviews and the menu link. We set up or tidy the profile, connect it to your menu and booking pages, and show you how to post specials and update holiday hours so the listing always matches your site.
