Menus, hours, and finding you

Café, bar, or restaurant

Somebody is standing on a street with a phone deciding where to eat. They want three things in about eight seconds: are you open, what do you serve, and how far away are you. A hospitality site that makes those hard to find has failed regardless of how it looks.

Suits: Cafés, bars, restaurants, and anywhere the website's job is to get someone through the door tonight.

One fixed number before work starts, not a range and not an hourly rate. The care plan is a separate decision — any site can take any plan, and this is just the one most clients of this kind pick.

What we actually do.

  1. 01

    Put the three things first

    Open now or not, today's hours, and the address with a map, above the fold on a phone. This sounds obvious and is wrong on most restaurant websites, usually because the menu is a PDF and the hours are in an image.

  2. 02

    Make menus editable, properly

    Real text you edit in the dashboard, not a PDF someone has to pinch-zoom. That means prices can change on a Tuesday without phoning us, and search engines can read what you serve.

  3. 03

    Handle the exceptions

    Bank holidays, a private event, closing early for a staff party. Dated exceptions to your normal hours, set in advance, that expire on their own.

  • ContentThe details that change — hours, prices, key text — editable by you.
  • LeadsEnquiries from your site's forms, collected in one place.

What this does not include.

Named up front, because the expensive version of this conversation is the one that happens in week four.

  • Table reservations — an add-on, and usually better through the system you already use
  • Online ordering or delivery — that is a shop, and priced as one
  • Photography, though we will tell you honestly if yours is the weak point

Several of these are available as add-ons. They are priced against your site rather than from a list, which is why there is no number next to them on the services page.

Start with a conversation.

Forty five minutes, no charge, and no obligation. We will tell you what we would build, roughly what it costs, and whether you need it at all.
