What does a website cost for a restaurant?
Between €100 and €400 including tax, one-off, then €29 to €59 a month if you would rather not touch it yourself. The rest of this page explains why there is a range, what pushes a quote to the top of it, and the three things a restaurant most often pays for and does not need.
What a restaurant site has to do, and nothing more
Someone looking for your restaurant has three questions, in this order: is it open, what is on the menu, how do I book. A page that answers all three in ten seconds works better than an eight-page site whose menu is a 4 MB PDF.
- Opening hours, current, readable without zooming.
- The menu as text — not a PDF, not an image: text is what Google reads.
- The address, the phone number, and directions in one tap.
- Booking: a form, a link to your existing tool, or just the number.
- Three to six photos that make people hungry, not thirty that stall.
- All of it as fast on a phone on 4G as on your own wifi.
Why a range and not one price
The amount tracks how much page there is to make, and nothing else. These four factors are settled before the quote goes out, and the price is fixed once the scope is agreed in writing: €100 to €400 including tax, one-off.
| What moves | Toward the bottom | Toward the top |
|---|
| Sections | One page: hook, menu, hours, contact | Lunch and dinner menus, groups, private hire, events |
| Copy | You supply them | Written with you, out of a conversation |
| Motion | Scroll reveals | Video, real-time scene, stitched transitions |
| Integrations | One contact form | Booking, deposit payment, newsletter |
What keeping it running costs
A restaurant site changes: a seasonal menu, holiday hours, a price that moves. Two ways to handle it. The Essential formula, at €29 a month, keeps the site online, current and monitored, hosting included — you edit the content yourself. The Serenity formula, at €59 a month, adds the changes: you write “the dish of the day is changing, the terrace opens at noon” and it is live within 48 working hours. Requests are unlimited in number, handled one at a time, on existing content. Paid yearly, both bill 10 months for 12.
Three things a restaurant pays for and does not need
- A mandatory site-builder subscription: you rent a page you do not own, and it disappears the day you stop paying.
- A yearly redesign: a plain, fast site does not go out of fashion in twelve months. What goes stale is a menu nobody updated.
- A setup fee, charged to plug in what you have already paid for. There is none here.
Three demos you can click
Instead of mock-ups: three complete pages built for restaurants that do not exist, live and clickable. A beach restaurant, a Chinatown night market and a Thai kitchen — same stack, same care as a paid-for site. Three budgets and three different calls, so you can see what the range actually buys.
How quickly is the site live?
A few days if the menu and photos are ready. The quote itself comes within 48 hours, with the launch date in it.
Is a subscription required to keep the site online?
No. The delivered site is yours, code and repository included, and runs without one. The subscription — €29 or €59 a month — exists for people who would rather not deal with hosting, updates and content changes. It can be cancelled whenever you like.
What if I want online ordering later?
That is a feature, so a separate quote — not a content change. The price is agreed before anything starts, and the site does not need rebuilding to take it.
Is the domain name in my name?
Yes, from day one, even where the studio administers it technically. If you leave, you leave with the domain, the code and the content, with no exit fee.
