Restaurant Web Design
Restaurant Web Design That Fills More Tables
Diners decide where to eat with their phones — they check your menu, look at photos of the food, confirm you’re open, and either book a table or order delivery, all before they ever call. If your restaurant’s website is slow, outdated, or hard to read on a phone, that diner closes the tab and picks the restaurant next door instead.
Diverse Website Design builds restaurant websites that are built around how diners actually behave online: a menu that’s easy to browse on a small screen, real food photography instead of stock images, one-tap booking and ordering links, and local SEO that puts you in front of people searching “restaurants near me” or “[your suburb] restaurants” on Google. Restaurant web design starts at $995 and includes everything you need to launch — no templates, no hidden add-ons.
What a Restaurant Website Actually Needs to Do
A restaurant site isn’t a brochure — it’s a tool diners use in the 30 seconds before they decide where to eat. We design every restaurant website around a short list of jobs it has to do well:
- Show the menu clearly — a clean, easy-to-scan menu (not a scanned PDF), organised by category, with prices and dietary tags (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal) so diners can decide before they arrive.
- Make booking effortless — a click-to-call number, an embedded booking widget, or a link through to your OpenTable, TheFork, or Zenchef account, whichever you already use.
- Connect to delivery platforms — direct links or embedded ordering for UberEats, Menulog, DoorDash or your own online ordering system, so you’re not relying on a third-party app to be found.
- Look right on a phone — the majority of restaurant searches happen on mobile, often while someone is standing outside deciding whether to walk in, so the site needs to load fast and read cleanly on a small screen.
- Rank locally — proper local SEO setup, a Google Business Profile connection, and location/suburb pages so you show up when nearby diners search for a restaurant.
- Show it off with photography — a gallery built to showcase your dishes and dining space, not a generic slider full of stock imagery.

Restaurant Websites, Built for Your Cuisine
Different restaurants sell different experiences, and we design around that rather than dropping every business into the same layout. We’ve built dedicated websites across the industry, including Italian restaurant website design, Chinese restaurant website design, Mexican restaurant website design, and cafe web design, plus sites for individual chefs and catering businesses. Whatever your restaurant serves, we tailor the design, imagery, and menu layout to match your cuisine and dining style.
Pricing and Timeline
Restaurant web design starts at $995 for a fully custom, mobile-responsive site with menu pages, booking and ordering links, contact forms, a business email account, social media integration, a built-in blog, and full CMS access so you can manage the site yourself. Want to sell merchandise, gift vouchers, or meal kits online? Our eCommerce packages start at $1,495, with your first 10 products uploaded for you.
Most restaurant websites are designed within 2 days of your brief being approved, then built out over the following 7–10 business days once the layout is signed off.
Restaurant Web Design — Common Questions
Do you build in an online booking system?
Yes. We can embed a booking widget from platforms like OpenTable, TheFork, or Zenchef directly into your site, or build a simple booking/enquiry form if you’d rather manage reservations yourself by phone or email.
Can you link the website to UberEats, Menulog, or DoorDash?
Yes. We add direct “Order Now” links to whichever delivery platforms your restaurant already uses, or build a standalone online ordering page if you handle delivery and pickup yourself.
Will I be able to update the menu and prices myself?
Yes. Your menu pages are built through your content management system, so you can update dishes, prices, and daily specials yourself in minutes — no developer needed and no extra cost for changes.
Can you photograph our food and restaurant for the website?
We don’t provide photography ourselves, but we’ll advise on what shots work best for the site and build the gallery and layout around whatever photos you supply — whether that’s from a professional shoot or good phone photography.
Do you set up local SEO so nearby diners can find us?
Yes. Every restaurant website includes on-page local SEO — location and suburb targeting, Google Business Profile alignment, and structured data for your address, hours, and menu — so you’re positioned to show up in local search and Google Maps results.
What if I already have a website — can you redesign it without changing our domain or emails?
Yes. We can rebuild your site with a fresh, modern design while keeping your existing domain, email accounts, and content intact, so nothing changes for your customers except how the site looks and performs.
Do you build eCommerce ordering for restaurants that want to sell direct?
Yes. If you’d rather take orders directly rather than through a third-party delivery app, we can build a full online ordering or gift voucher store for $1,495, with your first 10 menu items or products uploaded for you.
