Who we build for

Websites for restaurants and cafes

Nearly all of it comes down to four things somebody wants in 30 seconds: the menu, the hours, where you are, and whether it looks good.

What goes wrong on these sites.

01

The menu is a PDF

This is the big one. A PDF menu on a phone opens as a document, loads slowly and has to be pinched to read. It is the most common reason someone closes the tab and picks the next place.

02

Hours are wrong or missing

Wrong hours cost you a customer and earn you a one star review from someone who drove over. They have to match your Google listing exactly, and change when you do.

03

The photos are stock

Nobody wants a photo of somebody else food. One evening with a real camera changes the entire feel of a restaurant site.

04

No map link, just an address

The address should open directions in one tap. Making somebody copy and paste it into Maps is a step too many when they are already hungry.

We have built menu-first sites for Langley and Fraser Valley restaurants, including a bilingual one.

Questions we get from this industry.

What is the most important page on a restaurant website?

The menu, as real text, not a PDF and not a photograph. A PDF menu cannot be read by Google, cannot be read aloud by a phone, and pinch-zooms badly on the device nearly everybody is holding. This is the single most common fault we find in this industry.

Do we need our own online ordering?

If you are paying roughly 30% to a delivery app for orders from people who already knew your name, yes. Direct ordering on your own site keeps that margin. Let the apps do discovery and win the repeat orders back onto your own rails.

How much do opening hours matter?

They have to be right in three places: the site, Google and the door. Holiday hours are where it always breaks, and a wrong holiday listing is the fastest route to a one star review from somebody who drove across town for nothing.

See what yours is doing wrong.

We build for restaurants across BC, the Greater Toronto Area and the rest of Canada. Two ways in: a quick onsite audit in 30 seconds with no email required, or a handwritten audit back to you within 48 hours. Both are free and both are yours to keep.
