Restaurant websites, NZ
A restaurant website that fills your tables.
A restaurant site has one job. Get someone hungry, looking at their phone, to either book a table or save your address. Most restaurant sites in NZ fail at this. Slow loads, no booking link, menu hidden behind a PDF. I fix all of it.
What you actually get.
- Online bookings front and centre, connected to your existing system.
- Menu visible without a download. Updated in seconds.
- Built to rank for 'restaurant [your suburb]' on Google.
- Loads under 2 seconds on a phone, even on patchy 4G.
- Photography styled so the food looks like the food.
Restaurant search behaviour is consistent across NZ. Someone in town for the night, on their phone, comparing three or four places. They look at photos, the menu, the reviews, then either book or pick somewhere else. The whole decision happens in under two minutes.
Your site needs to be ready for that. Fast page load, menu visible immediately, booking button impossible to miss, address and hours obvious. If any of those things are slow or hidden, you've lost the booking before they even read about you.
I integrate with whatever booking system you already use. ResDiary, Eveve, OpenTable, the local NZ ones. If you're not on one yet, I'll help you pick the right one for your size. The booking flow needs to feel like one tap, not a form.
Most restaurant sites land between $2k and $4k depending on whether you need full menu management. Live in 1 to 2 weeks. Fixed price. You see the working site on your phone before anything is signed off.
