Restaurants & hospitality

Menu, hours, and a way to order. Everything else is secondary.

For restaurants, cafes, hotels and tourism operators across Grande Prairie and the Peace Region. Hospitality websites fail in remarkably consistent ways, and all of them are fixable.

The three failures

Almost every restaurant site gets these wrong.

Fix these and you are ahead of most of your competition immediately.

The menu is a PDF

PDFs are slow, hard to read on a phone, invisible to search engines and usually out of date. The menu should be a real page — it is the single most-visited thing on the site.

Hours are wrong or hidden

The most common reason someone leaves. They must be current, obvious, and correct on Google — which matters more than the website.

Ordering is buried

If you do takeout or delivery, that button belongs at the top of every page, not on a separate contact page.

What actually helps

Practical, mobile, and fast.

Hospitality browsing happens on a phone, often while deciding right now.

A real, searchable menu

Text, not an image. Dishes then become findable — people search for specific food far more than for restaurant names.

Online ordering that you own

Third-party apps take a substantial cut. Direct ordering on your own site keeps the margin and the customer relationship.

Reservations

Integrated booking for table service, and clarity about walk-ins and large groups.

Photographs of your actual food

Not stock. Good photography of real dishes is among the highest-return things a restaurant can invest in.

Dietary and allergen information

Gluten-free, vegetarian, halal, allergens. A determining factor for a group choosing where to eat, and usually absent.

Location and parking

Where you are, where to park, whether there is patio or accessible seating. Small frictions decide close calls.

Search and visibility

For hospitality, Google is more important than the website.

The map listing frequently gets more traffic than the site itself.

Google Business Profile

Hours including holidays, menu link, current photographs, and replies to reviews. This is the highest-return work available to a restaurant.

Dish-level content

People search for particular food. A text menu means you can appear for those searches; an image menu means you cannot.

Occasion content

Group bookings, catering, private events and holiday hours attract searches with real spending behind them.

Common questions

Questions we get asked.

Straight answers, no sales pitch.

We use a delivery app. Do we still need ordering on our site?

If margin matters, yes. The apps take a large percentage and own the customer relationship. Direct ordering alongside them usually pays for itself.

Can you keep our menu updated?

You can update it yourself, or we handle it as part of a management plan. Either way it should never require a developer.

Do you take a percentage of online orders?

No. We build it, you keep the revenue.

What about hotels and accommodation?

Same fundamentals with booking integration and rate handling on top. Room detail, availability and cancellation clarity carry most of the weight.

Is photography included?

We direct it and can work with what you have, though for food it is worth doing properly — it is the most persuasive thing on the page.

How fast can this be live?

A focused restaurant site is quick — often a couple of weeks. Ordering and reservation integrations add time.
