Restaurant Website Guide: Menu, Reservations, Swiggy & Zomato

The 5 things a restaurant website MUST have

1. Menu with photos & prices — the #1 reason people visit your site.
2. Reservation flow — date, time, party size, confirmed by WhatsApp.
3. Swiggy & Zomato links — direct order buttons.
4. WhatsApp ordering — pre-filled menu messages = zero commission.
5. Maps, hours, parking — operational basics, prominently displayed.

Reduce Swiggy/Zomato commission

Aggregators take 22–28% commission. Even capturing 20% of orders directly via WhatsApp + UPI on your own website pays for the entire site in a month.

Local SEO for restaurants

Rank for "best [cuisine] in [area]" — these searches have very high intent. Optimize your Google Business Profile, get reviews, and link to your website.

Photography matters

Skip stock food photos. Hire a local photographer for one day — your website (and Instagram) will look 10x better.
