Web Design for Restaurants & Cafes

67% of Diners Want
to Order From You Directly.
Are You Letting Them?

Third-party delivery apps take a cut of every order — but most diners actually prefer ordering straight from a restaurant's own site, largely because they want to support the business directly. We build fast, appetite-driven sites with commission-free ordering and reservations built in.

The Problem

Third-Party Apps Are
Eating Your Margin.

Every order through Uber Eats or DoorDash costs you a cut — and most diners would rather order from you directly if you made it easy.

01

Third-Party Fees Cut Deep

Delivery apps take 15–30% per order — margin you keep entirely when customers order through your own branded site instead.

67% prefer ordering direct
02

Reservations Require a Call

66% of diners now book same-day, often while deciding where to eat — a site without instant booking loses them to a competitor.

66% book same-day
03

Menu Isn't Mobile-Friendly

About half of reservations happen from a phone — a clunky mobile menu or PDF-only menu turns hungry diners away instantly.

50% of bookings happen on mobile
04

No Loyalty Program Visibility

Diners engage heavily with loyalty programs — but only if they know one exists, clearly explained on your site.

47% use loyalty programs multiple times/month
05

Reviews Aren't Front and Center

New diners check reviews before choosing where to eat — burying yours on a third-party app instead of your own site wastes that trust.

70%+ read reviews before ordering
06

Vibe Doesn't Come Through Online

47% of diners now look for a "vibe," not just a menu — text-only sites can't convey the atmosphere that gets people through the door.

From Owners Who Made the Switch.

★★★★★

We were losing 25% of every online order to delivery app fees. Direct orders through our own site kept that margin — real money back in the business.
