Restaurants and cafes

Websites for restaurants and cafes.

When someone is deciding where to eat tonight, they pull up your menu and hours on a phone and then call or order. We'll put the menu on a real page instead of a PDF, change it when you email us, and check that the ordering link still works.

What we look after

What a restaurant website has to do.

Show the menu as a page

A PDF menu is hard to read on a phone, and search engines can barely read it at all. We put the menu on a real page, and on Managed + Website you email us the changes and we make them.

Post holiday hours on time

Closing for Thanksgiving or opening late on a Sunday should be on the site the day you decide it. Tell us and we change the hours everywhere they appear.

Link ordering and reservations

Online ordering runs on Toast, Square or a delivery app for most places, and reservations on OpenTable or Resy. We put those buttons where people look for them and check them after every update.

Load fast on a phone

Food photos are big files. We shrink them so the page opens quickly for someone standing on the sidewalk.

Take catering requests

Catering and private party requests come in through a form on the site. We test it and set up your domain's mail records so those emails land in your inbox.

Show up nearby

We add the structured data that tells search engines where you are and when you're open. The SEO and AI search add-on is $50 a month if you want more help being found.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The menu on the site is a PDF from two years ago, and customers ask for dishes we stopped making.
  • We closed for a holiday and the website still said we were open.
  • The online ordering button went to a dead page after the ordering company changed something, and nobody told us.
  • Catering requests from the website form were going to an old email address.
A note from Ryan

The menu and the hours

The first thing I check on a restaurant site is whether the menu is a PDF, because on a phone that means pinching and zooming. Then I look at the hours on every page, since they tend to get changed in one place and forgotten in another. Fixing those two does more for a restaurant site than anything else I could do to it.

Is the menu on your site the one you serve?

Send us the address and we'll look at the menu, the hours and the ordering links the way a customer sees them on a phone.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. We build it as a regular page, so it reads well on a phone and search engines can see the dishes. On Managed + Website you send us the new menu and we update the page, and on Managed you can edit it yourself.

Yes. Toast, Square, OpenTable and Resy all give you a link or a widget to put on the site, and it stays in place when the site is updated. If one of those companies changes its link, tell us and we swap it in.

Yes, that's Managed, at $50 a month. We move the site over for free and take care of updates, backups and security, and you keep editing the menu yourself.

Not for most places. The menu, a catering page and a page with hours and directions do most of the work, so the new site that comes with Managed + Website covers it.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
Nathan T.
I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
