Build the website of your restaurant or food shop
Restaurant, bakery, fast food or winery: your customers decide in seconds, often hungry, often outdoors, and almost always on a phone. Your site has three jobs to do quickly and well.
Free plan available. No card required.
Menu, hours, address. The rest comes after
Someone looking for a restaurant wants to know what you serve, whether you are open now, and how to get there. Those three things must be reachable without scrolling and without thinking. It is also why a PDF menu is a bad idea: it downloads badly, reads badly on a phone, and Google cannot understand what is inside it. A menu built as real web pages reads first time and gets indexed.
A menu that changes must be changeable in two minutes
The menu moves, prices shift, produce is seasonal, the special changes daily. If updating your menu means emailing someone and waiting, the online version will be wrong within three weeks, and a wrong menu costs you more than no menu at all. With SiteLoom you edit it yourself, from behind the counter if need be, at no extra cost and with no delay.
Photography matters more in your trade than almost any other
In food, the decision is largely visual. A handful of decent photos of your dishes, your room and your team does more for you than three well written paragraphs. They do not need to be professional, they need to be real and bright. A recent phone near a window is plenty, and your customers will recognise the place when they arrive, which never happens with bought images.

A form or a link to your tool, visible without hunting for it.
Photos of your dishes
Your own, taken on a phone near a window. No stock images.
Specialities and diets
Vegetarian, gluten free, halal. These are deciding factors, not details.
Frequently asked questions
Can I update my menu myself?
Yes, as often as you want and at no extra cost. Changing a price, pulling a dish or posting the special of the day takes a couple of minutes in the editor, from a computer or a phone. That is precisely what keeps an online menu accurate instead of letting it go wrong after a few weeks.
Is a PDF menu better than web pages?
Web pages, without hesitation. A PDF downloads, opens badly on a phone, forces people to zoom, and most of its content is invisible to Google. A menu built as real pages reads immediately, displays correctly on every screen, and lets you be found on the name of your dishes or your specialities.
Can I take bookings from my site?
Yes. Add a booking form where the customer gives the date, the time and the number of covers, and you receive the request by email. If you already use a booking tool, you can simply send people there with a button visible on every page.
What does a website cost for a restaurant?
You start free with a yourname.siteloom.site subdomain. For your own domain name and the advanced features, the Pro plan is 18 EUR per month, all inclusive. An agency usually charges between 2,400 and 4,000 EUR for an equivalent site, plus maintenance.
