WordPress for restaurants
A menu stuck in a PDF is a menu nobody reads on a phone. We build WordPress sites for Tampa Bay restaurants and write the custom plugins behind editable menus, reservations, private event and catering requests — so a manager can 86 an item from their phone without calling a developer.
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.
Menus and events are where restaurant sites go stale. A custom plugin makes both a two-minute job for whoever is on shift.
Items, prices, and availability as editable content — 86 a dish from a phone, no PDF, no developer, and readable to Google.
Your booking provider embedded properly, or a custom flow when their widget fights your design.
Structured requests — headcount, date, budget, dietary needs — that reach your events manager ready to quote.
Menu data pulled from Toast, Square, or your POS so the site and the kitchen agree.
