Restaurant websites get a specific set of things wrong more often than almost any other business type — usually because the site was treated as an afterthought to social media. Here's what actually gets people through the door.
The menu, and it needs to be an actual readable page or accessible PDF — not an image so small it requires zooming and squinting on a phone.
Hours, location, and whether the restaurant is open right now — ideally clear without requiring a click.
Reservation or ordering links that work smoothly, especially on mobile, since that's where most restaurant searches happen.
Menus locked inside a PDF that doesn't render properly on mobile, or worse, inside a Flash-era embed that doesn't work at all anymore.
No clear hours or an outdated "closed for renovation" banner that never got taken down.
Beautiful photography that takes so long to load the visitor leaves before ever seeing the menu.
A fast-loading, accurate, mobile-first experience, since most restaurant searches happen on a phone in the moment someone's deciding where to eat.
Consistent, accurate information across the website and every directory or delivery platform the restaurant appears on.
Real, current photos, updated seasonally if the menu changes, rather than photos from the restaurant's opening several years ago.
