Restaurant Websites That Fill Tables and Drive Orders
A menu PDF and a phone number are not enough. Your website should be booking tables and driving orders 24/7.

Restaurant-specific platforms like BentoBox and Popmenu charge $119-$400+ per month for features like online ordering and reservations. That adds up to $1,400-$4,800 per year in platform fees alone. A custom WordPress site gives you the same functionality without ongoing platform costs.
Your restaurant website needs to do four things in 2026: show your menu in a searchable, mobile-friendly format (not a PDF), accept reservations or orders, display your hours and location prominently, and rank in local Google searches when someone types "restaurants near me."
We build restaurant sites that handle all four without locking you into expensive monthly platforms or third-party ordering systems that take a cut of every order.
What's included
HTML menu (not a PDF)
Searchable, mobile-friendly menu pages that Google can index. Update prices and items yourself in seconds. No more emailing a designer for menu changes.
Online ordering integration
Direct ordering through your site (no third-party fees) or integration with your existing system. Customers order from you, not from a platform that takes 15-30%.
Reservation widget
Online booking directly on your site. Integrate with OpenTable, Resy, or a simple form-based system depending on your volume.
Google Maps and hours visible instantly
Location, hours, and phone number above the fold on mobile. Tap-to-call and tap-for-directions without scrolling.
Food photography that sells
We optimize and display your food photos in full-bleed, appetite-driving layouts. High quality images are the single biggest conversion factor for restaurant sites.
Local SEO for "restaurants near me"
Google Business Profile optimization, menu schema markup, and location content so you appear when hungry locals search.

What clients say
Real feedback from real projects
We wanted someone local who was easy to speak with and Sam was that person. He pretty much built the whole site without any involvement by me and I LOVED the end results. Highly recommend if you are busy out in the field and just need to get it done.
Our website kept breaking when we updated plugins and the cost of maintaining started adding up. We worked with many different developers but only Sam was able to finally diagnose the issue and fix it long term. He now manages the maintenance of our WordPress site and we have not had any issues since.
Sam and his team have been a huge help in growing our online presence. They helped convert my old site into a new design and they also do our SEO which has the phone ringing more often now.
FAQ
Questions about this service
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes. We set up a simple menu management system in WordPress where you can change prices, add items, mark things as sold out, or add daily specials. No coding required and takes under a minute per change.
Do I need my own food photography?
High-quality food photos make a massive difference in conversion. If you have them, great. If not, we can work with a local food photographer in Durham Region or start with styled stock images while you build your photo library.
Can the site take online orders without DoorDash/UberEats fees?
Yes. We can integrate WooCommerce for direct ordering or connect a white-label ordering platform that charges a flat monthly fee instead of per-order commissions. You keep the margin.
How much does a restaurant website cost compared to Squarespace?
A custom restaurant site is a one-time investment of roughly the same as 1-2 years of platform fees. After that, you own it outright and only pay for hosting (about $20-40/month). No ongoing platform fees eating into your revenue.
