A restaurant website from ROVQIX costs $349 to $1,290 and takes about a week. The essentials are a text menu that loads instantly on a phone, correct opening hours, reservations or ordering links, and one-tap directions.
Almost every restaurant website fails the same way: the menu is a PDF. That one decision costs more customers than everything else on the site combined.

Not a PDF. Loads instantly, readable on any phone, appears in Google, and you can update a price in seconds.
Including holidays. Wrong hours produce a wasted journey and a one-star review.
Linked to OpenTable, Resy, Toast or whatever you use, kept on your site as far as possible.
Opens in their phone's map app. Most visits are someone nearby deciding where to eat.
Your actual dishes. Ten good phone photos beat a stock library every time.
An enquiry path for the bookings that are worth ten normal covers.
Because a PDF menu is slow, unreadable on a phone, invisible to Google and awkward for you to update.
| PDF menu | Text menu |
|---|---|
| Pinch and zoom on a phone | Readable straight away |
| Downloads over mobile data | Loads instantly |
| Barely indexed by Google | Dishes can show in search |
| Needs re-exporting to change a price | Change it in seconds |
| Unusable with a screen reader | Accessible to everyone |
| No dietary filtering | Can mark vegan, gluten-free |
Notice that none of it is your story, your chef's biography or a full-screen video. Those can exist, but not in front of the menu.
If you already use Toast, Square or similar, we link to it — those handle payment and kitchen printing properly. Building your own ordering system is rarely worth it against the commission you would save.
Yes, mainly because your own site is where your full menu, hours and reservation link live without commission or a platform changing the rules. It is also what shows when someone searches your name directly.
It is a template we adapt to your business — your colours, photos, services and words. It is not a custom design from scratch, which is what makes $349 possible. If you want fully custom, that starts around $2,500 and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
Your logo if you have one, some photos of your work or your shop, your services and prices, and your opening hours. If you do not have photos, we will tell you what to take with a phone — it is usually enough.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the content is yours, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. We do not hold your site hostage on a care plan.
You keep the site and the domain. You would need to arrange your own hosting, which is usually $5 to $15 a month, and we will help you move it across at no charge.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

A 30-minute call, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline within two to three working days. No retainer required to get a real number, and no obligation if the answer is that we are not the right fit.
