Quick answer
What does a cafe or restaurant website need?
A hospitality website needs the menu as real text (not a PDF), opening hours that match Google, a booking or ordering button, the address with a map, and photos that make people hungry. It must load quickly on a phone, because most diners check the menu while deciding where to eat or on the way there.
Bookings, orders and Google Maps
We connect your existing booking system (OpenTable, SevenRooms, ResDiary and others) so the "Book a table" button works from every page and from your Google Business Profile.
If you're paying delivery app commissions, a direct ordering link on your own site and Google profile lets regulars order without the middleman. And we make sure your hours, including public holidays like Melbourne Cup Day and the AFL Grand Final Friday, are correct everywhere, because nothing loses a customer faster than a closed door.
Local search for hospitality
Diners search in very specific ways: "brunch Fitzroy", "dog-friendly cafe Northcote", "private dining CBD". Your Google Business Profile attributes, photos and reviews decide most of these battles, and your website backs them up with pages for the things that make you different.
Replying to every review (especially the tricky ones) shows future customers you care, and fresh photos each month keep your profile looking alive.

Functions, events and vouchers
Functions and catering are often the most profitable bookings a venue takes, but they're usually buried. We give them their own pages with capacities, sample menus and a proper enquiry form, so a birthday or work function enquiry doesn't end up in a DM you miss.
Gift vouchers can be sold online too, which is handy money in the bank before Christmas and Mother's Day.
Photos that sell the experience
Stock photos of someone else's latte don't fill tables. We'll help you plan a simple shoot of your food, space and team, and we compress every image so the site stays fast. Good photos also feed your Google profile and Instagram, so they work three times over.

Questions, answered.
Something we haven't covered? Just ask.
No. PDFs are slow on phones, hard to read and hard for Google to use. A real web page menu loads instantly, can be updated in minutes and can help you appear in searches for specific dishes.
Yes. We build the menu so you can edit dishes, prices and dietary tags from your phone or laptop, without calling us.
Often, yes. Many booking systems connect to your Google Business Profile so people can reserve without leaving Google. We'll check whether yours does and set it up.
It's worth it for regulars. A direct ordering link on your site and Google profile can save commission on every order from people who already know you.
Ask at the right moment, make it easy with a QR code on the table or receipt, and reply to every review. Never offer freebies in exchange for reviews; it breaches Google's policies.
We don't pretend to be food photographers. We'll plan the shot list and can recommend Melbourne photographers, or guide you through shooting great photos on a phone.
