A website for your restaurant, built before you pay
A website for your restaurant: menu, hours and a link Google can show. What Google lets restaurants add, and our $399 site with a free preview.
How many restaurants show no website on the map?
In OpenStreetMap, the free public map, we pulled every business with a phone number in 10 US metros (Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, San Diego, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Atlanta and Columbus). 4,656 of them had no website tag. A missing tag is not proof that a business has no website: volunteers edit the map and many sites are never added. It does show how many listings give a customer nothing to click. Restaurants were the biggest group by far: 1,319 of the 4,656, plus 334 fast-food places and 286 cafes.
What can a restaurant add to its Google Business Profile?
Google's own restaurant guide for Business Profile lists it: a menu built in the menu editor with sections, dishes, descriptions and prices, a menu link, menu photos, separate hours for delivery, takeout, drive-through and pickup, special hours for holidays, links for online orders, and bookings or a waitlist through a Reserve with Google provider. Google notes that the waitlist is only for restaurants and that your booking provider might charge you.
Why does the menu link need a page of your own?
The menu link on your profile has to point somewhere. A menu page on your own .com is one you can change the same day prices change, and it keeps your hours, address, catering form and call button in one place. Delivery apps can stay; they just do not have to be the only link a customer finds.
What does a restaurant site from us look like?
Open the restaurant demo. It is a made-up example, built the same way we build yours: we make the preview first, free, and you pay only if you approve it.
The $399 package: six pages (home, 3 service pages, about, contact), a logo, Google Business Profile setup, your own .com and the first year of hosting. Pricing · Example sites · Other trades
Questions
Can I put my menu on Google without a website?
Yes. Google's menu editor lets you add dishes, descriptions and prices to your Business Profile. A website gives the menu link a page you control.
Does Google charge for reservations?
Google's help page says your booking provider might charge you when guests book through Google. Check the fees with the provider before you sign up.
