We Develop Restaurant Websites

We develop Best Websites In Sonipat

Did you know that 90% of customers research restaurants online before eating out? This means, you as a restaurant owner, need a website, and a functional one. Sites such as HostGator can make this process easier for you by hosting your website and providing website templates. You want to project the right image to get people to walk through the door, and your location plays a big part in achieving that. Having a restaurant website is the same; it’s an extension of your restaurant. It directs customers to you, and lets them find out more about you, and you get to control the content – something you can’t do on review sites.

Benefits of Having a Website:

To generate awareness, exposure and extend your brand. A website lets people know who you are and gives potential customers a feel for your restaurant, menu and atmosphere. Your site does not need to be fancy, and it does not have to be expensive but it needs to be informative, interesting and reflective to your restaurant. Remember, first impressions count. A smart, simple design will help you convey the professional and appealing image you want.

To provide basic information. Your ‘virtual storefront’ will answer visitors’ questions such as hours of operation, payment methods, and location. Avoid playing hide and seek; put your contact information on every single page of the site; give your customers what they came for and make it easy for them to reach out.

To promote products/services and events/promotions.
Does your restaurant offer products or catering services in addition to your daily menu? Your potential customers don’t know this! Not only can you launch this information on the website, you can also provide your guests with a mailing list option so they can stay up-to-date with important announcements.

Highlight why you are special.
Show your restaurant in the best possible light. Photos of happy diners, filled tables and mouthwatering dishes is more enticing than a black and white half page ad in the paper. Hire a good photographer to make pictures of actual meals you cook, get those pictures on your website and you’ve got an outstanding web presence that informs, entertains and entices at the same time.

To increase business.
A presence on the Web gives your business great ‘online visibility’, which in turn enables customers to find you. A website allows you to share your menu, showcase your specialties and services, and set your food and eatery apart from the others. Your restaurant is a local business so it helps a lot to register it on Google Place and local directories such as LocalServe.

While there are general advantages for every business in creating a website, there are a number of specific advantages that can benefit a restaurant. Here are eight reasons your restaurant should have a website:

1. Low Advertising Costs

Print ads and commercials are expensive. With a website you can display an endless amount of print information at a fraction of the cost. Information is available 24/7 to anyone with internet access and you can easily update out-dated information on your website whereas the cost of re-printing flyers is far greater.

2. You Can Give Key Information On Your Location, Menu, Opening Times and Special Offers

A website gives you a platform to provide the basic information your customers may need to know about your restaurant including hours of operation, directions, payment methods and more. By answering these basic questions, you can decrease the amount of time your managers and staff need to spend answering phone calls. You can also keep customers aware of any promotions, such as pre-theatre menus, lunch deals or Christmas offers.

3. You Can Include Customer Testimonials

You can include customer testimonials on your website or if your restaurant has been lucky enough to be featured in a publication such as a review by a restaurant critic in a newspaper you can link to this from your site. This will help to build your restaurant’s credibility.

A website may also help your chances of being reviewed by bloggers as they have a resource to gain information about your history to add to their article.

4. Increases Awareness of Your Business

When people are looking for information the first place they will look is on the web. It is important that if someone is looking for your business they can find the information that they need quickly so they are less likely to become disgruntled and consider your competitor(s).

5. You Can Improve Search Rankings

By investing time into search engine optimisation (SEO) you can help your business show for related search terms. For example if your website shows for someone searching ‘late night café’, ‘Italian restaurant’ or ‘family friendly pub’ you will gain more exposure and hopefully more customers.

6. You Can Build a Solid Brand Image

A website will help your business to build a professional image. Particularly if you are just starting out, a website is a great method for helping customers become acquainted with your brand. With the correct marketing it may even convince customers to seek you out and try for themselves. High quality images will help entice customers to visit.

7. Differentiate Your Business from the Competition

If all of your competitors have an online presence it only makes sense that you should too. Many competing restaurants may already use a website to promote themselves; stealing your business. A well-presented easy to use website will help you highlight what you do well and may persuade customers to pick you over alternatives. Lack of a website may also suggest that you are no willing to invest into your business

8. Book Online Features

You can easily add an online booking link or app to your website giving your customers a quick way to make reservations on the go. 

9. A Way to Promote Other Services

A website gives you a channel to promote your other services. Offer catering or private events? Creating pages for these and using SEO (see point 5!) can generate more business.

10. Sell Gift Cards

With a website which enables online selling you could even sell gift vouchers online. This can help drive more business, particularly around Christmas or other events where people are looking for gifts.
