Restaurant and catering website design.
Websites for restaurants and caterers, built around the food, the menu and the enquiry. Catering is where we have done the most work: the caterer whose site we rebuilt had 124% more search traffic in its last 30 days than the 30 before.
Guests decide from the photographs and the menu.
Someone choosing a restaurant or a caterer wants to see the food, read the menu and know how to book. A menu that will not open on a phone, or a booking link that is hard to find, sends them back to the search results.
For a caterer, the enquiry is the sale. Each kind of event gets its own page, with the menus, the photographs and the questions people ask, and a quote form that collects the date, guest numbers and venue you need to price it.
Most of this business is local, so we also do the search work: a page for each area you serve, a Google Business Profile with the right hours and categories, structured data, and articles that answer what people ask before they book.
What a restaurant or catering website includes.
- Menus that work on a phone
- Menus as web pages that load on a phone and that search engines can read, with dietary and allergen notes beside each dish.
- Event and service pages
- A page for each kind of event or service, such as weddings, corporate catering or private dining, with its own photographs and questions.
- Booking and quote forms
- A booking link or a quote form that sends the details to your inbox or CRM, ready to reply to.
- A gallery of your own work
- Your own photographs of the food, the room and past events, compressed so the page stays fast.
- Local search and articles
- Google Business Profile, local pages and structured data, with articles researched and published on a schedule.
Caterman.
Caterman is an event caterer in the San Francisco Bay Area. We rebuilt caterman.net with a page for each kind of event, a gallery of the company's own photographs and quote forms that pass every enquiry to Pala, the CRM we make for caterers. In the last 30 days its search traffic was 124% higher than in the 30 days before. More than 90 articles have gone out since the July launch, and its mobile speed score went from 78 to 95+.
Questions, answered.
What should a restaurant website include? +
Your menu as a readable page, opening hours, address and a map, a way to book, and photographs of the food and the room. Those details should match your Google Business Profile.
Do you design websites for caterers as well? +
Yes. Catering and events is where we have done the most work. Caterers usually need event pages and a quote form more than table booking, and we build both.
Can enquiries go straight into a CRM? +
Yes. Forms can post to your CRM or inbox with the event details already filled in. Caterman's quote requests go into Pala, the catering CRM we make, which answers and qualifies each enquiry as it arrives.
Can you move our menus off PDFs? +
Yes. We turn them into web pages that load on a phone and that search engines can read. A PDF can sit beside them for anyone who wants to print it.
How much does a restaurant website cost? +
We quote each site per project, once we know the pages, menus and booking or quote set-up it needs.
