Hire Web Developer for Restaurants
Senior, direct, no layers

A diner choosing a restaurant wants the menu, prices, whether there is a table, and a booking that works on a phone. A site that hides the menu behind a PDF and offers no table route loses that diner to the restaurant next door.

Scope matters here. A booking-first public site for restaurants is a different build from a single-business internal tool, and a different build again from a multi-tenant product. This engagement is the first of those three: a public site whose pages, forms and booking path exist to turn diners into people who have booked.

What follows is organised around that conversion: the pages and booking path, the existing tools the site must respect, the build steps, the realistic outcome, and the questions that come up most. Start with a short conversation about Restaurants bookings.

The tools this kind of business already runs shape what the site can honestly do. In practice that means Toast or a similar point-of-sale system, the reservations book the restaurant already runs, the kitchen display system, the staff schedule, and the inventory system, plus the map listing diners find first.

The site must fit service: no tool that asks staff to double-enter data during service will survive a week. Table bookings, the reservations book and the kitchen's view of covers have to agree, or the floor ends up overbooked on a Saturday night.

A good restaurant site shows up as tables booked with party size already known, fewer calls asking for the menu, and fewer diners arriving to find a dish that is off. A website alone does not fill tables: it works when the menu is current and bookings are answered promptly.

The common failure is a menu PDF from last year: diners trust the prices they see, arrive, and find different ones, which costs more than having no menu online at all.
