8 Things Every Restaurant Website Needs

Someone opening a restaurant website is usually hungry, often on a phone, and rarely browsing for pleasure. They want a handful of facts, fast.

The eight, in the order people look for them

1. Are you open right now? Hours, prominently, not buried in a footer.
2. Where are you? An address that opens in a maps app in one tap.
3. The menu — as a web page. Not a PDF that downloads and pinch-zooms.
4. Prices. Hiding them loses more customers than any price ever did.
5. Photos of the actual food. Yours, not a stock plate.
6. A phone number that dials on tap.
7. A way to book a table.
8. Something for the regulars — today's special, this week's deal.

The one that's always wrong

The PDF menu. It's the single most common mistake on restaurant sites and it costs you the visitor who is standing outside deciding. A menu should be a page that loads instantly and reads on a phone.

Volnyn runs the restaurant side from the same dashboard as your website — tables, reservations, waiters, deals, and a QR menu your guests scan at the table that you can change yourself at 11am and have live by lunch.
