What Your Restaurant Website Has to Do
Restaurants run on thin margins, and delivery apps make them thinner. DoorDash's published Marketplace plans charge a 15%, 25%, or 30% commission on delivery orders, depending on the plan. Ordering directly on your own website keeps more of each order and builds a customer list you control.
Diners decide fast based on photos, the menu, location, and reviews. Your website has seconds to make an impression, so good food photography, an easy-to-read menu, and clear hours and directions are necessities. Your Google Business Profile matters just as much: current hours, a menu link, fresh photos, and reviews shape who gets the visit from a map search.
An email list built through your own site lets you promote seasonal menus, events, happy hours, and loyalty offers directly, without paying a platform to reach your own customers. Catering and private events deserve their own pages: they reach business buyers and planners who search differently from diners.
Multi-location restaurants need a page per location with accurate hours, menus, and contact details. Gift card sales on the website bring in revenue now and a visit later, especially around the holidays.

Challenges Restaurants Face Online
What usually stands between restaurants and more calls from search.
Third-Party Fee Burden
Paying a commission on every delivery-app order. DoorDash's published plans charge 15% to 30%.
Empty Tables
Struggling to fill seats during slow periods and weeknights.
Menu Updates Are Hard
Changing your menu online is difficult and your site shows outdated items.
No Direct Relationship
Customers order through apps and you don't have their contact info.

Common questions about websites for restaurants
How do you help reduce third-party delivery fees?
We set up direct online ordering on your own website. Customers order from you, and you keep their contact info for future marketing. Direct ordering tools have their own costs, so we compare them with what you pay the delivery apps today before you switch.
Can we easily update our menu?
Yes. We build menu management systems that let you add items, change prices, mark items sold out, and feature specials - all without any technical knowledge or waiting for a developer.
How do you integrate with reservation systems?
We integrate with OpenTable, Resy, Yelp Reservations, or help you set up a simpler booking system if you don't need the full platform. Reservations flow directly into your workflow.
What about Google and Yelp optimization?
We optimize your Google Business Profile with current hours, menus, photos, and regular posts that keep your listing active. We also mark up your site so Google can read your menu, price range, cuisine, and reservation options and show them in search results.
Do you help with food photography?
We can coordinate professional food photography or provide guidance on capturing appetizing photos yourself using a smartphone and natural lighting. Great food photos are essential for a restaurant website. They help sell the online menu and are reusable across your Google profile, social media, and print materials.
What does a website cost for restaurants?
A Verlua website is a one-time build of $2,500 to $5,000, depending on how many pages you need, integrations like booking or quote tools, and timeline. Ongoing SEO is optional: $2,500/mo during launch months, then $1,500/mo. You get a written quote with deliverables after a free discovery call.
