Websites for cafés, restaurants and bakeries

Visitors and locals look you up before they visit: opening hours, where you are, what's on. A warm, good-looking website with a map and directions turns that search into a seat at your table.

What a café or restaurant website needs

People look up a café on their phone, often while they are already out. The questions are simple: are you open now, where exactly are you, and what do you serve? A website that answers those in seconds gets you the visit.

Your site doesn't need to be big. Opening hours, a map, a short menu or list of what you are known for, and a way to ask about group bookings or catering covers almost everything.

A checklist for your site

  • Opening hours, including Sundays and bank holidays
  • Your address and Eircode, with a map and directions
  • A short menu or the dishes you are known for, with prices if you like
  • How customers can get allergen information
  • Catering, group bookings or private events, if you do them
  • Photos of the food and the room, taken in good light

What your site starts with

Every word is ready to edit. These are the services your new website starts with, and you can change, add or remove any of them.

  • Breakfast

    A proper start to the day, served every morning.

  • Lunch

    Fresh soups, sandwiches and daily specials.

  • Coffee and cakes

    Good coffee and home baking.

Questions from cafés and restaurants

How much does a website for cafés and restaurants cost?

Sitefront is €120 a year or €12 a month, and that includes hosting, security, your web address and your enquiries inbox. Building and previewing your site is free, and if it isn't right for you, you get your money back within 14 days.

Can I show that I'm food safety (HACCP) trained?

Yes. Tick the registrations and memberships you hold in your business details and they appear near the top of your page. We only ever show ones you add yourself.

Will my website show up on Google for cafés and restaurants near me?

Every site is set up for local search from day one: your town and the areas you cover, your services, opening hours and business details, all marked up the way Google reads them. Rankings also depend on things like Google reviews and how long your site has been live, so nobody can honestly promise a position, but you start with the right foundations.

Do I need my own photos?

No. Upload your own straight from your phone, or pick from our free photo library for your trade. Photos of your own work, team or premises build the most trust, so add them when you can.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. Every site starts on a free sitefront.ie address, and you can connect your own .ie or .com from your dashboard at any time.

Can I update the menu myself?

Yes. Each dish or item can be changed, added or removed from your phone, with or without a price. Use it for specials as well as the regular menu.

Do I need to list allergens on my website?

Food businesses must make allergen information available for the food they serve. The FSAI has guidance on the 14 allergens. Many cafés say on their website how customers can ask for it, and keep the full detail in the café, so it always matches what is served on the day.
