Websites for cafés and restaurants, from $800

Every booking taken through your own website is a booking you did not pay commission on. That is the whole business case, and most venue websites are not set up to capture it.

What most café and restaurant sites get wrong

The menu is a PDF. A PDF menu on a phone means pinching and zooming. People give up and check the platform listing instead — where a competitor is one tap away. Menus should be real web pages.
Bookings go through a platform. Every booking through a third party carries a fee, and the customer relationship belongs to them. A direct booking on your own site costs nothing per cover.
Opening hours are wrong or missing. The single most-searched thing about a venue. If Google and your site disagree, people arrive to a closed door and leave a review about it.
No photos of the actual food. Stock imagery of generic plated food reads as dishonest. Real photos of your dishes, even from a phone, convert better.

Being straight about booking platforms

A direct booking system does not mean you should leave the platforms. They bring genuine discovery traffic, particularly for new venues. What it means is that regulars who already know you should be able to book on your own site rather than costing you a fee every visit. Most venues do best running both and gradually shifting repeat customers to direct.

What it costs

A three to five page café site is $800, and up to ten pages with a booking system is $1,900. Online ordering with payments is $4,500. Every quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

Common questions

How much does a restaurant website cost in Australia?

A three to five page café site is $800, and up to ten pages with a booking system is $1,900 (<a href="/pricing/" class="color-green-900">see all pricing</a>). Online ordering with payments is $4,500. Every quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

Can I take bookings without paying commission?

Yes. A direct booking system on your own site has no per-cover fee. Most venues keep the platforms for discovery and move repeat customers to direct booking, which is where the savings compound.

Should my menu be a PDF?

No. PDF menus require pinching and zooming on a phone, are often unreadable by screen readers, and cannot show in Google results. Menus should be real web pages with proper markup so dishes and prices can be indexed.

How long does a restaurant website take?

Five to seven business days for a simple café site, two to three weeks with booking integration. Food photography is the usual delay — if you already have photos it moves faster.

Do I own the website?

Completely — source code, repository and hosting account in your name. You can move to another developer at any time and nothing breaks.
