Your site loads and the link works, yet guests searching your name may reach a directory first. Here is a checklist built on 1,000 UK restaurant homepages, with the gaps that leave a site invisible.
Your menu runs to hundreds of numbered dishes, the phone rings through the rush and marketplace commission is taken before you are paid. Here is what a Chinese restaurant website must do, and what it costs.
Your best nights run through other people's tablets, and the commission is taken before you are paid. Here is what an Italian restaurant or pizzeria website must do, and what it really costs.

One prompt can produce a page that looks ready for guests. Check what sits behind the form, or a booking, deposit or order can go missing.
An Instagram icon missing from most pages, or set to a stale handle, leaves a guest no way back. Type the handle once and save it to every page footer.
When a restaurant's photos live on other people's pages, the first look at the room is out of its hands and often stale. A gallery on its own website puts it back.
A guest who has already chosen you can lose the way to a listing full of other restaurants. Check your details once, add a map, publish, then watch the calls and directions counts.
A paper stamp card gets lost and a regular rebooks through someone else's app. Build a guests' app on your own site, section by section, and publish it when it reads right.
