In short: a website for a restaurant costs 890 € for a complete brochure site (menu, opening hours, bookings, Google listing connected), and from 1 490 € with online ordering. This guide sets out what a serious quote should contain, the traps hidden in subscriptions, and what a website earns a neighbourhood restaurant.
A website for a restaurant costs between 890 € and 3 000 € depending on the features. A brochure site with the menu online, a photo gallery, opening hours and a booking form can be built from 890 €. Online ordering or advanced booking systems push the budget up. In every case, one extra customer a week is enough to pay the investment back.
Key figures: 81% of diners look at a restaurant's menu online before deciding to go. 67% choose on the strength of the photos they see online. A restaurant with no website loses on average 30% of its potential customers to a competitor who is visible on Google.
What does a restaurant website cost in 2026?
The price of a restaurant website falls into three tiers:
Restaurant brochure site, from 890 €
This is the right answer for the vast majority of restaurants. It includes: a home page that sets the mood, the full menu readable on a phone, a photo gallery, opening hours and contact details, an embedded Google Maps map, a contact and booking form, and local SEO work. Ready in 2 weeks.
Restaurant site with advanced booking, 1490€ to 1 490€
For restaurants that want to automate their bookings (TheFork integration, a bespoke booking module with table and time slot management). Best for venues with more than 30 covers and heavy footfall.
Restaurant site with online ordering, 1 490€ to 3 000€
For restaurants offering delivery or click and collect. Includes a dish catalogue, a basket, secure payment and an order management interface. A cheaper alternative to Deliveroo or Uber Eats over the long run.
At ConvertiLab a restaurant brochure site costs 890 €, payable in 3 instalments at no extra cost or spread at 39 € a month over 24 months.
What does a restaurant website include at that price?
Plenty of restaurant owners find out too late that their "890 € website" included no SEO, no hosting and no mobile work. Here is exactly what a serious offer at that price covers.
A 890 € restaurant brochure site at ConvertiLab includes:
What is not included in the 890 € offer: an online ordering system, a booking module with automated table management, multilingual translation, a professional photo shoot.
A 890 € restaurant site vs 2 000€: what is the real difference?
The difference is not in how it looks: a 890 € site can be every bit as attractive as a 2 000€ one. The difference is in the automated features:
For a neighbourhood restaurant with 20 to 40 covers and 2 to 3 services a week, the 890 € offer is more than enough. For a venue with 80+ covers and several services a day, investing in an advanced booking module saves 30 to 60 minutes every day.
Can a restaurant website pay for itself through local SEO?
Yes, and that is what happens with most of the restaurants ConvertiLab works with. Here is the arithmetic:
A 890 € site pays for itself in under 2 weeks when the local SEO is done properly.
A real example: Monsieur Arancini, a Paris caterer, had no online presence at all. After ConvertiLab built his site he filled his Friday and Saturday evenings in the first month, with no paid advertising, purely through Google rankings.
Another example: La Table d'Emma, a 35 cover restaurant outside Paris, was getting fewer than 5 online bookings a month through TheFork (a 2€ commission per cover). After a site with a direct booking form was built, it takes 20 to 30 bookings a month with no commission: a saving of 40 to 60€ a month, or 500 to 700€ a year recovered.
Subscription or one-off payment for your restaurant website?
Both models exist, with different benefits:
One-off payment (recommended): you pay once (890 € to 3 000 €) and you own the site and the source code. The only recurring costs are hosting (5€ to 15€ a month) and the domain name (10€ a year).
Monthly subscription (Wix, Squarespace or agencies that "rent" you a site): 30€ to 150€ a month and you never own it. Stop paying and your site disappears. Over 3 years you pay 1 080€ to 5 400€ for a site that is not yours.
The one-off payment is almost always the better deal. The one exception: if your restaurant has just opened and you do not have the money up front, a 39€ a month plan with ConvertiLab lets you start straight away.
The 4 mistakes to avoid when building your restaurant website
1. Signing up to a subscription for life without owning anything
Wix, Squarespace and some agencies offer "sites to rent" at 30€ to 150€ a month. You never own them: stop paying and the site disappears. Over 3 years you will have paid up to 5 400€ for nothing.
2. Not building the menu mobile first
67% of "restaurant" searches happen on a phone. A menu in a PDF or an image you cannot zoom is a direct brake on bookings. The menu has to be readable on a phone with no zooming and no sideways scrolling.
3. Skipping professional photos
A site with bad photos is worse than a site with none. Either you pay for a shoot (150 to 400€ for a local photographer), or you use photos you have already taken on a good phone in natural light. Never put up blurry or badly lit photos.
4. Ignoring your Google Business Profile
Your GBP listing (the panel that shows on Google Maps) often brings in more bookings than the website itself. It has to be complete: photos, opening hours, menu, categories, replies to reviews. It is free and it is often neglected.
Which web agency should you choose for your restaurant website?
To choose a web agency for your restaurant, check these 5 points:
Be wary of 99€ or 199€ quotes: those offers usually deliver an unpersonalised template with no local SEO and no support. For a restaurant, local visibility is 80% of a website's value.
How to work out the ROI of your restaurant website: if your average spend per cover is 35€ and your site brings in 3 new bookings a week (12 a month, so 36 covers), that is 1 260€ of extra monthly revenue. Over 12 months: 15 120€. A 990€ site is paid back in under 3 weeks. This example is conservative, and most of our restaurant clients see far better than this because local SEO keeps working month after month.

A sample quote for a restaurant website
A serious restaurant quote is not just a price: it says what is delivered, in what timeframe, and what remains your responsibility. Here are the three configurations we price most often.
| Configuration | Price | Timeframe | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Restaurant brochure site | 890 € | 7 to 14 days | 5 pages (home, menu, about, gallery, contact), menu readable on a phone, opening hours and a Google Maps map, a call button, first year hosting, HTTPS, a handover training session |
| Brochure site + online booking | 890 € + integration quoted separately | 10 to 15 days | Everything in the brochure site, plus the integration of your booking tool (Zenchef, TheFork, Reserve with Google) and a "Book" button on every page |
| Site + online ordering or click and collect | from 1 490 € | 14 to 21 days | Orderable menu, Stripe payment, collection slots, order management, plus everything in the brochure site |
In every case the payment can be spread: a brochure site works out at 39 € a month over 24 months, which is still less than the commission a delivery platform takes on three or four orders.
