Restaurant website: fill your dining room without depending on TheFork

Restaurants, bistros, food trucks, caterers… A website that takes direct bookings and increases your covers both in and out of season.

Do you recognize yourself?

€5,040 in Airbnb commissions per year

15 to 25% commission from TheFork / Bookatable / Uber Eats on every order or booking.

You lose 80% of mobile traffic due to a slow or non-responsive site.

No booking engine = forced phone call = guests who give up at 10 PM on a Friday.

Dish photos taken on a smartphone in poor lighting = potential customers who scroll past.

No visibility on "[cuisine type] + [your city]" in Google = you exist only for your regulars.

In the off-season, your site is static — no content, no news = invisible on Google.

the website creation for restaurants has a clear purpose: reduce your dependency on TheFork and Zenchef (commissions of €2.50 to €4 per cover + monthly subscriptions). 320 restaurateurs search for a provider every month in France (Ubersuggest 2025 data), average Google Ads CPC €10.77 per click. Iliade Digital builds restaurant websites with: SEO-optimized HTML menu (Google reads it, unlike a PDF), direct reservation form or TheFork/Zenchef integration of your choice, sticky mobile click-to-call, lightbox photo gallery, Events blog for themed evenings. For a 30-cover-per-day restaurant, the €2,490 ex-VAT package pays for itself in 4–8 weeks through saved commissions.

Do you run a restaurant, bistro, food truck, or catering service? Iliade Digital creates restaurant websites Why us for Draguignan? — not for aesthetics alone. Direct reservations, SEO-optimized online menu, premium photos, TheFork/Uber Eats integrations if needed, local agenda blog to sustain SEO year-round.

The real cost of platforms (and how to reduce it)

TheFork charges €2.50 to €4 per booked cover (and more for promotions). Zenchef, Resy, Sevenrooms: similar commissions. On delivery, Uber Eats and Deliveroo take 15 to 30% of the ticket. For 100 covers/month by reservation + 50 deliveries: that's easily €800 to €1,500 in monthly commissions. The equivalent of a kitchen assistant's monthly salary.

Our approach: we don't ask you to leave these platforms (they serve a useful visibility purpose), we simultaneously build a direct channel that captures regulars, locals, and Google searches. Objective: 30 to 50% of your bookings direct to 12 months — that many commissions saved.

Sector FAQ

Frequently asked questions — Food service & restaurants

How to reduce my dependency on TheFork / Bookatable?

By featuring a direct booking form on your site, prominently displayed with a clear "Direct reservation — no commission" message. 30–50% of your covers can shift to direct bookings within 6 months if the site converts well. Typical saving: €12 to €30 commission per cover × 30 covers/day = €10,800 to €27,000/year.

Does a restaurant need a multilingual website?

If you are in a tourist area (Var, Côte d'Azur, Paris), yes — at least FR + EN. For a restaurant in Sanary, Bandol, or Le Lavandou, FR/EN/IT/DE multilingual is worthwhile (€690 ex-VAT per language option in our packages). Outside tourist areas, FR is sufficient.

What ROI can be expected from a restaurant website?

Typical calculation: if you save 15% TheFork commission on 20 reservations/day × €50 average check × 250 days/year = €37,500 saved per year. A Business site at €2,490 ex-VAT pays for itself in under 2 months. Not counting the new customers that local SEO brings in.

Do you manage sites with a delivery module (Deliveroo / Uber Eats / Just Eat)?

Yes — either integration with existing platforms (visible “order on Uber Eats” button), or our own direct delivery module (Stripe payment + time slots + delivery zone). Direct delivery = 0% commission. Dedicated package available on request.

How many food photos are needed?

A minimum of 12–15 professional photos: 3 starters, 5 signature dishes, 2 desserts, 2 ambiance shots, 1 team shot. If you don't have a photographer, we connect you with a local partner (€200–400 for a half-day shoot). This is the investment with the best ROI on a restaurant site.

Does local SEO really work for a restaurant?

Yes, and it is actually the cheapest acquisition channel for a restaurateur. 80% of potential customers search "restaurant [your city]" or "Italian restaurant [neighborhood]" on Google. If you rank 1st or appear in the local pack (3 results with map), you capture 30–50% of that traffic. Our Local SEO Premium pack (€590 ex-VAT) optimizes every lever.
