Restaurant and café websites: a readable menu and a clear ordering journey
Guests usually want to find the menu, prices, opening hours and address quickly. Heavy pages with autoplay video can make this simple task harder.

An editable menu
Use text and lightweight images so staff can update prices and availability. A large photograph of the menu alone is difficult to read and search on a phone.
Reservations or orders?
Table reservations and takeaway orders are separate processes. Define capacity and confirmation, delivery areas, delivery fees and order hours before development.
Local information
Keep your written address, contact details, normal hours and holiday changes together. Give each real branch its own accurate page. Invented branches or reviews damage trust.
Measure usefulness
Track menu views, direction requests and completed orders separately. Test on mobile data and a mid-range phone to check that essential information is accessible.
What should you prepare?
Define the main goal, available content, the person responsible for updates, and your time and budget limits. Separate launch essentials from features that can follow later. Share websites you like and explain why: visual similarity alone does not define your business needs.
Is a QR code enough?
A QR code only opens the page. Its destination still needs to be fast, readable and kept up to date.
