Websites and marketing for restaurants

Updated

Diners decide where to eat in minutes. They search or ask an AI assistant what is good nearby, then check the menu, the hours, and whether they can get a table or order pickup. If any of that is wrong or hidden in a PDF, they go elsewhere. We build restaurant sites with real menu pages, current hours everywhere, reservations and direct pickup ordering, plus local search, ads, and an agent that answers common calls.

What your customers ask

  • best tacos near me
  • restaurants open late near me
  • brunch with outdoor seating near me
  • private dining room near me
  • office lunch catering near me

People type these into Google and ask them of AI assistants. Each one deserves a clear page and a clear answer.

Assistants now name local businesses in their answers. How AI search optimization works.

  1. 01

    A menu that reads anywhere

    Real menu pages with prices and dietary notes, quick on a phone and readable by Google and AI.

  2. 02

    The spot AI recommends

    Hours, cuisine, dishes, and price range kept consistent everywhere, so assistants name you when people ask what is good.

  3. 03

    Calls and bookings answered

    An AI agent answers hours, parking, and reservation questions and takes catering requests while the kitchen is slammed.

  4. 04

    Direct orders, not commissions

    Pickup ordering on your own site and ads that point there, so more orders skip the delivery app cut.

  1. 01

    Menus locked in a PDF

    A PDF menu is hard to read on a phone and invisible to search. A real menu page fixes both.

  2. 02

    Wrong hours everywhere

    Holiday hours on Google, old hours on Yelp, nothing on the site. People drive over and find the lights off.

  3. 03

    Delivery apps take a cut

    Third-party apps charge a commission on every order. Pickup ordering on your own site keeps more of it.

  4. 04

    Reviews nobody answers

    Diners read replies as closely as reviews. Thoughtful responses show the place is cared for.

Can you put the menu on the site instead of a PDF?

Yes. A real menu page with prices and dietary notes, easy to update, readable on phones and by search.

Can customers order pickup directly from us?

Yes. We connect online ordering through Toast, Square, or the system you use, so pickup orders skip the delivery apps.

Can you take reservations?

Yes. We link or embed the reservation system you use, like OpenTable or Resy, or set up a simple request form.

Do you handle catering and private events?

Yes. A catering page with menus and a request form that goes straight to whoever books events.

How do you keep our hours right on Google, Yelp, and our site?

We set one source for hours and update your profiles together, including holidays, so diners and AI assistants see the same answer.

Can the site handle more than one location?

Yes. Each location gets its own page with its menu, hours, address, and booking link, so search can send people to the right one.
