Web design agency for restaurants & gastronomy

Cost depends on scope: number of pages, digital menu, reservation integration, multilingual setup, food photography and corporate design. IVIS MEDIA works transparently and gives you a clear price range up front, including an honest recommendation on which building blocks are truly worth it for your venue. A focused restaurant website with menu, reservations and local SEO typically starts in the lower to mid four-figure range; larger projects with branding, multiple locations or online ordering are accordingly higher. In the initial call we clarify what your business actually needs and what can be added later.

For most restaurants we recommend WordPress: proven, flexible, strong in local search and easy for your team to maintain. You change texts, photos and opening hours yourself, no coding required. We built the website of the Indian restaurant Amrit in Berlin with it, for example. Another advantage: our own plugin, the Advanced Restaurant Menu Manager, brings the digital menu with it, multilingual, with allergen management and Schema.org markup. For special requirements such as high ordering volume or multiple locations, IVIS MEDIA also uses Next.js or custom web applications.

With the Advanced Restaurant Menu Manager, the WordPress plugin by IVIS MEDIA, you maintain your menu entirely yourself: create and sort dishes via drag and drop, adjust prices and portion sizes, label allergens with automatic numbering and run separate menus for lunch, dinner or drinks. The plugin is multilingual and WPML-compatible, ideal for international guests, and outputs your dishes with Schema.org markup so Google and AI search can read the menu. PDF menus that nobody wants to zoom on a phone become a thing of the past. On request we set up the plugin completely and train your team.

Yes. IVIS MEDIA integrates common reservation systems such as OpenTable or Quandoo directly into your website, as a widget, button or embedded form matching your design. Alternatively we build a custom reservation form with confirmation emails that works without third-party providers and commissions. What matters is the short path: guests come from Google or Maps and should reach a booked table within a few clicks. We also embed delivery links to Lieferando, Wolt or Uber Eats and your own pickup ordering cleanly. Which solution fits depends on size, occupancy and your existing tools; we advise neutrally.

A focused restaurant website with homepage, menu, gallery, directions and reservations usually goes live within four to six weeks, including concept, design, build and sign-off. Larger projects with corporate design, food photography, multilingual content or online ordering take longer. IVIS MEDIA sets the timeline after the initial call, with milestones and a realistic go-live date, aligned with your opening, season start or relaunch if desired. During the build you see early drafts and give feedback, so there are no surprises. Content such as texts, photos and the menu is integrated together with you.

Through the combination of local SEO and GEO. IVIS MEDIA optimises your website and Google Business Profile for searches like "restaurant + neighbourhood": correct opening hours, menu link, photos, review signals, NAP data and structured data for the Local Pack. In addition we prepare content for AI search such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews: fast load times, Schema.org, clear answer blocks and a machine-readable menu. This increases the chance that your venue also appears in AI recommendations like "Where can I get good Indian food in Berlin?". Ongoing maintenance pays off too: current photos and opening hours further strengthen your ranking.

Not every venue needs custom software. But if delivery platform commissions hurt, vouchers and events should be sold digitally, or several locations need central management, a custom solution pays off. IVIS MEDIA builds web applications for gastronomy: your own ordering flows for pickup and delivery, voucher shops, catering enquiries with cost calculation or central menu management for branches, connected to your restaurant website. Often the best path is a lean first stage that grows with your business. We tell you honestly what pays off and what does not.
