Website builder for Restaurants
A restaurant site that answers the three questions people ask
People visit a restaurant website to find the menu, the hours and the address. Everything else is decoration. Ajify puts those three front and centre, keeps the menu editable from your phone when a special changes, and lets you link ordering without a third party taking a cut of every ticket.
A restaurant website builder needs to serve cafes, bars and small restaurants equally — and in every case the job is the same three things: menu, hours and address.

How to build a website for restaurants
-
1
Put the menu in HTML, not a PDF
A PDF menu is unreadable on a phone, invisible to search engines and impossible to update quickly. This is the single highest-impact change most restaurant sites can make.
-
2
Hours above the fold, holidays included
More visits are hours checks than anything else. Get them wrong over a bank holiday and you lose covers and gain a bad review.
-
3
One-tap phone and directions
Most visits are on a phone, often from the street. The number should dial and the address should open Maps on a single tap.
-
4
Link ordering rather than rebuilding it
Whatever you already use — Toast, Square, your own — link it prominently. Sending customers direct rather than through a marketplace keeps the commission.
-
5
Photograph the food in daylight
Three good daylight shots beat twenty taken under service lighting. Nothing damages appetite appeal like an orange flash photo.

Mistakes that cost restaurants enquiries
The PDF menu
Pinch-zooming a PDF on a phone is the worst experience on any restaurant site, and search engines cannot read the dishes.
Stale holiday hours
Someone drives over on a public holiday to a dark dining room. That is a lost cover and often a one-star review.
Autoplaying video on the homepage
It delays the menu, eats mobile data and is the first thing a hungry visitor is trying to get past.
Common questions
What is the best website builder for a restaurant?
The best website builder for restaurants is one where you can change the menu from your phone between services. Ajify does that, keeps menus as readable HTML rather than PDFs, and lets you link ordering without commission on every ticket.
Do you take a percentage of orders?
No. You link your own ordering provider and we take nothing per order.
Can I upload a PDF menu?
You can, though a real HTML menu performs far better in search and on phones.
Can I run more than one location?
Yes — give each location its own page with its own hours.
Menu, hours, address. Get those three right, keep them current and make them fast on a phone, and your website is outperforming most restaurants in your area — including several paying an agency a monthly retainer for the privilege.
