Web design for cafés and restaurants in Melbourne
We build websites for Melbourne hospitality: cafés, restaurants, bars, bakeries, caterers and food trucks. One-page sites start at $1,699 + GST, which covers what most venues need. Sites with ordering or reservations run $2,490 to $3,490 + GST.
Not a template factory. Not an agency that vanishes once the invoice clears.

What a hospitality website actually needs
Hungry people decide fast. Here’s what we build in from the start.
Menu, hours and address in one tap
Nobody reads your story before checking whether you’re open. The three things every customer wants sit at the top of the page, on every screen.
A menu that’s text, not a PDF
A phone-unfriendly PDF menu loses orders and can’t be read by Google. We build menus as real pages that rank for the dishes you actually serve.
Photos that sell the room and the food
Your own dishes in your own dining room, not stock images. A phone camera and good light beat a stranger’s stir-fry every time.
Bookings and ordering built in
Table reservations, function enquiries or online ordering, connected to the system you already use, not another app for staff to check.
Fast on the footpath
Someone standing on the street choosing between you and next door won’t wait five seconds for a page to load. We build light and host in Australia.
Found in the Google map pack
Local SEO and a properly set up Google Business Profile put you where “restaurants near me” searches actually land: the map, not page two.

What we have learned building café and restaurant websites
Hospitality websites are used in a hurry. Someone standing on High Street or sitting in a car with hungry kids wants the menu, the hours and the address, and wants them without scrolling past a slideshow. We put those three things at the top of every hospitality site we build and keep the menu as real text rather than a PDF, because a PDF cannot be read on a phone without pinching and cannot be read by Google at all.
The map pack decides most hospitality searches. 'Cafés near me', 'best pizza Preston' and 'restaurants Mernda' are answered by Google's map results before anyone reaches the organic listings, so a venue's Google Business Profile, reviews, photos and hours matter as much as the site itself. We set up the profile properly, add the local schema that connects it to the website, and build menu pages that can rank for the dishes people actually search for.
Delivery apps and Instagram are useful but they are not yours. The apps take a cut of every order and keep the customer data; Instagram reaches followers but not strangers. A venue website with its own bookings, function enquiries and ordering, connected to the system you already use, keeps the margin and the relationship. We build it so the kitchen or the front of house can update the menu and specials in minutes when prices move or the season changes.

Common questions
Yes. We build for cafés, restaurants, bars, bakeries, caterers and venues of every kind across Melbourne and greater Victoria. Over 600 websites built, more than 1,000 businesses supported.
A complete one-page venue website is $1,699 + GST: menu, hours, location and bookings on one strong page.
Want separate pages for functions, catering or multiple menus? Small Business at $2,490 + GST gives you up to seven pages. Business Pro is $3,490 + GST where you need online ordering or reservations. The price is fixed before work starts.
One-page sites go live in a week. Small Business sites take two to three weeks from the day we have your menu, photos and opening hours.
Every venue site ships with local SEO in place, with menu pages Google can read, schema markup and fast load times. Map-pack visibility usually moves first, with organic search following over 30 to 60 days.
Completely. The site, the domain and the content are yours. Move hosting or change providers whenever you like.
Yes. We build on WordPress so you can change the menu, update hours or add specials yourself. If you’d rather not touch it, care plans start at $32.95/month.
Instagram builds regulars but doesn’t rank in Google search and delivery apps take a cut of every order while owning the customer data. Your own site takes bookings and orders without the commission, and it is the one channel you control.
Phone photos in good daylight work better than you’d think: your real food in your real room. Send what you’ve got and we’ll make it work, or we can point you to a local food photographer.
Yes. Care plans from $32.95/month cover WordPress updates, security, daily backups and uptime monitoring. Monthly content changes (like menu updates when prices move) are included on our higher care plans.
