Somebody just searched “best cuban sandwich near me” from a barstool in Ybor. If your menu is a sideways PDF and your hours say you're closed when you're open, they're eating somewhere else tonight. Tampa Forge builds sites for restaurants, cafes, and food trucks — menus that read like menus, hours that match Google, and ordering links that don't hand a third of your margin to a delivery app. Fixed price, fast build, no upsell.
Nearly every restaurant visit starts with a phone search: menu, hours, photos, directions. Each of those is a place your site either wins the table or loses it. We build around the four that matter most.
A PDF menu forces pinch-and-zoom on a phone, ignores search engines, and goes stale the day prices change. We build menus as fast, readable pages you can update yourself in minutes — and Google can actually read your dishes.
Wrong hours on Google mean people driving to a locked door — and the one-star review that follows. We structure your hours with schema markup and align your site with your Google Business Profile so both tell the same story.
Third-party delivery apps take their cut of every order they touch. We wire prominent direct ordering and reservation links — Toast, Square Online, OpenTable, Resy, or whatever you already use — so regulars order from you, not through a middleman.
People eat with their eyes before they ever smell the kitchen. We optimize every image so a photo-heavy page opens in a blink on restaurant-row cell service — appetite intact, patience untested.
Menu build & easy updates Your full menu as fast HTML pages, structured so search engines index your dishes — with a simple way for you to change prices and 86 items yourself.
Local search setup Restaurant schema markup, proper titles and descriptions, and Google Business Profile alignment so “lunch near me” searches surface you, not just the chains.
Ordering & reservations wiring Direct links and embeds for the ordering or reservation system you already pay for, placed where hungry people expect them — top of every page.
Mobile-first build Designed for the phone at the barstool first and the desktop second, because that's the order your customers arrive in.
Optional monthly care Seasonal menu swaps, holiday hours, new photos, backups, and a human to call — so the site stays as current as the specials board.
Tell us about your spot — new site, PDF-menu rescue, or an ordering setup that's leaking margin to apps. We reply within one business day with honest next steps and a fixed-price quote.
