Websites and Online Marketing Services for Restaurants
It’s simple. You have to fill the tables or your restaurant can’t succeed. No matter how great the food. No matter how exceptional the service.
Most restaurants can’t afford expensive marketing campaigns to fill the seats. Industry-wide, the profit margins are too thin.

Restaurant Websites that Create a Great Impression
A restaurant’s website is the new hostess station. Potential diners get their first impression of your business online. If they have a negative experience on the website, they’ll never walk through your door.
Websites are important to customer retention, too. New diners won’t come back if they feel a disconnect between the website and the in-house experience. Disconnects can include:
- Out-of-date online menus
- Lack of information on special events or promotions
- A visual representation that doesn’t match the reality
- Technical problems like slow load times, difficult navigation, hard to find phone numbers, etc.
Front and Back Working Together
Just as a restaurant has a front and back of the house, websites have fronts and backs, too. Both sides need to work well independently and coordinate seamlessly.
On the front-end, we create visually appealing websites that convey your establishment’s atmosphere. On the back-end, we get all the technical issues right. We design websites for:
- Ease of use
- Fast load times
- Intuitive navigation
- Proper display on any device
We will keep your website up-to-date and accurate. Send us the most recent menus, coupon promotions or special events. Our website management services include content changes and additions, and important technical updates.
