The Restaurant Website Checklist: 12 Things Every Menu Site Needs
What a restaurant website must do to turn a hungry visitor into an order or a booking

Menu and ordering
- A real menu, not a PDF. Text menus load faster, work on phones and can be read by search engines.
- Photos of your best dishes. Good photography sells food better than any description.
- Prices and options. Sizes, add-ons and combos, clearly priced.
- Order in a few taps. Delivery or pickup, a short checkout and payment options your customers use.
The practical details
- Opening hours, including when you stop taking orders.
- Location and map, with parking or landmark notes.
- One-tap contact: call and WhatsApp buttons on every page.
- Delivery areas and fees, so nobody is surprised at checkout.
Trust and discovery
- Reviews and your story. Why you, and what guests say.
- Fast on mobile. Most visitors arrive on a phone, often on mobile data.
- Local SEO basics. Page titles with your cuisine and area, structured data and a linked Google Business Profile.
- QR codes in the restaurant linking tables and packaging back to your menu.
