What belongs on a restaurant website?
A restaurant website needs an accessible menu, accurate opening times, location information and a reservation route. Seasonal menus and special events need an update process. Do not bury those practical details beneath large decorative images.
How should menus be published?
Menus should be readable on a phone and available without relying only on a downloaded image. Prices, dietary information and availability need the venue’s approval. The website should make updates practical for the person responsible for the menu.
How are reservations tested?
Reservations are tested through the actual booking system, including unavailable times and confirmation messages. The venue decides capacity, deposits and cancellation rules. Those business rules should not be invented during website design.
What belongs in the website brief?
The website brief records the business’s actual offer, operating requirements and approved evidence. These are sector-specific design requirements, not claims that we have completed work for a named local business. Share the existing website and the customer journey you need to improve so the proposal follows the real scope.
- Mobile-readable menus
- Accurate venue details
- Approved dietary and booking information
- A tested reservation journey
