Websites for cafés, bakeries and restaurants

Live in 48 working hours You own your site
In short

Websites for food and drink businesses

EsquireTec designs websites for independent cafés, coffee shops, bakeries, dessert shops, takeaways and restaurants across the UK, including Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham. Every site shows your menu, opening hours and directions clearly on a phone, and can take orders, pre-orders or table bookings. Before you commit to anything, we can build a free sample from your public Instagram posts so you can see exactly how your site would look. See how the 48-hour offer works.

What you get

What a café or restaurant site needs

Menus that are easy to update

Your food and drink with real photos, dietary labels and seasonal specials, changed from your phone in a couple of minutes.

Live opening hours

Opening times that show “Open now” or “Opens at 8am” automatically, so nobody turns up to a locked door.

Online orders and pre-orders

Collection orders, celebration cakes and Christmas pre-orders taken on your own site, without a marketplace taking a cut of every sale. Your payment provider’s card fees still apply.

Table bookings and events

A booking form, or a link to the booking system you already use, plus pages for private hire, catering and events.

Directions and a call button

A Google Maps link, a tap-to-call button and a phone-friendly bar with the things people look for most.

Your Instagram, working for you

Your latest posts shown on the site, and the site linked from your Instagram bio and Google Business Profile.

Why an Instagram page isn’t enough

Instagram is great for showing off your food, but many customers search Google instead: “bakery near me”, “brunch in Didsbury”, “birthday cakes Birmingham”. A website helps you show up for those searches, and gives your Google Business Profile somewhere useful to send people.

A website also answers the questions people ask in your DMs every day: what time do you open, do you have vegan options, can I pre-order for Saturday, where do I park. When the answers are on your site, you spend less time replying and more time serving.

See your site before you decide

Most food businesses are too busy for long meetings, so we do things differently. Using your public Instagram posts, logo and colours, we build a private sample of what your website could look like and send you the link. There is no cost and no obligation.

If you like it, we talk through what you need, such as ordering, bookings or a full menu, and send a fixed, itemised quote. If you don’t, we simply take the sample down.

Cafés, bakeries, restaurants and takeaways

Cafés and coffee shops need opening hours, a simple menu and directions above everything else. Bakeries and cake shops need celebration-cake orders and pre-orders for busy seasons. Restaurants need menus, table bookings and private-dining pages. Takeaways and dessert shops need ordering for collection and late-night hours that are always up to date.

We shape each site around how your customers actually choose and order, rather than forcing everything into the same template.

Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and across the UK

We build websites for independent food businesses anywhere in the UK, including Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, working by phone, video call and email. Everything is done remotely, so you never need to close early for a meeting. You can also see our local pages for website design in Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham.

FAQ

Café and restaurant websites FAQ

How much does a café, bakery or restaurant website cost?

It depends on the pages and features you need, for example whether you want online ordering or table bookings. You get a fixed, itemised quote after a free call, before any work starts.

What is the free sample site?

A private preview of your website, built from your public Instagram posts, logo and colours, so you can see how it would look before deciding anything. It is free, with no obligation, and we take it down if you don’t want it.

Can customers order and pay online?

Yes. We can add collection orders, pre-orders for cakes and seasonal menus, and card payments through a payment provider such as Stripe or Square, so you are not paying marketplace commission on orders from your own site.

Can I update the menu and opening hours myself?

Yes. Menus, specials and opening hours can be changed from your phone, and the “Open now” badge updates automatically from your hours.

Can you add table bookings?

Yes. We can add a booking request form, or link to the booking system you already use so everything stays in one place.

How quickly can my site be live?

A standard site of up to five pages is live within 48 working hours of us receiving your content and domain access, or the build is free. Online ordering and booking features are quoted separately and may take a little longer. The full terms are on our 48-hour website page.

Do I need a website if I already have Instagram?

It helps a lot. Many customers search on Google rather than Instagram, and a website gives them your menu, hours and directions straight away, and lets you take orders without a marketplace in the middle.
