We recently performed a manual analysis of the restaurants in an entire community in the Pacific Northwest. We pounded the pavement, took to local directories, and opened up that fat yellow book households use as a stepping stool to reach items in upper kitchen cabinets. Of the 102 eateries in this local community we found that only two had websites. One hundred of these local businesses did not have a uniquely owned online presence. Sure, some of them had a Facebook page. A few had Twitter. But no visible website. Yet miraculously, in today’s day and age, they remained open for business. Is it possible that not all restaurants need a website?

While the region in question indeed has proportionately more rows of mom & pop establishments compared to that of most major metropolises in Canada and the U.S. it is not uncommon to hear restauranteurs from everywhere pose this question to our restaurant website design company on a regular basis. In response, we tell them the following:

Best Practices for Restaurant Websites

It can be a confusing world out there for restauranteurs trying to figure out how to solve their website issues. There are numerous articles telling you what’s best for the online portion of your marketing plan, some of them being contradictory to one another. The issue, is that you are too often being provided with “best practices” advice from internet marketing agencies with a broad industry client list. They assume what’s good for one type of business is also good for another. We sincerely doubt that a website design that functions and converts well for an industrial pipe fitter translates over to that of a restaurant. As an owner/operator or marketing manager in the food services industry you will want to apply advice from a website design firm that focuses solely on you and what you do. In the spirit of this assertion we have laid out five steadfast laws that are essential to the success (traffic and customer conversion) of your website.

Should I Use Website Template for My Restaurant

The title of this week’s blog post can often be put into the spoken quotations of many restauranteurs and their marketing managers. For well over a decade food service businesses have struggled with the decision of whether or not to build a completely customized website from scratch. It may seem that such a thing would be the suggested course. However, if you have found this article, you and/or your industry associates have likely been through a gauntlet of website development fiascos. As with any field, there are good and bad service providers. Too often the bad are chosen to take on a website development project because the promises are grand and the prices seem right, at the time. The result ends up being a website completed well after the estimated date of completion and one that does not look or function as you were promised. The wounded souls of restauranteurs, hesitant to revisit their options with more expensive developers, end up seeking alternative solutions for their online needs. That’s where our industry comes into play. Let’s take a look and see if you should consider a website template for your eatery.
