Web design for cafés & restaurants
A café website exists to answer three questions fast: Are you open? What's on the menu? Can I book a table? Sites that answer those three questions in one scroll get bookings. Sites that bury them under a splashy slideshow and a slow image carousel lose diners to the place next door. TillerLabs builds hospitality sites that convert.
Why a proper site matters for your café
- 1Local intent searches like “brunch [town]” or “breakfast near me” are where new customers come from -your site needs to rank for them and load instantly on a phone.
- 2Opening hours, address, and live phone number should be visible without scrolling, on every page.
- 3Menu pages should be real HTML, not a PDF -PDFs don't rank in Google and frustrate phone users.
- 4Booking integration (OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms) has to feel like part of the site, not a pop-up window from 2012.

Frequently asked questions
- Can you handle a menu that changes daily?
- Yes. We can build a simple admin where you or your team update the menu from a phone in under a minute, or we can integrate with whatever POS or menu system you're already using.
- Do you do online ordering?
- For pickup and delivery, we usually recommend integrating a dedicated platform (Square, Toast, or a direct ordering plugin) rather than building custom, unless you have a specific reason to. We'll advise based on your volumes.
- What about Google Maps and directions?
- Every TillerLabs café site includes proper LocalBusiness schema, an embedded Google Map, and a tap-to-call phone number so customers can find and contact you in seconds.
- Can you migrate content from our existing site?
- Yes. We'll pull menus, photos, and copy from your current site, clean them up, and rebuild on modern tech. Your old site stays live until launch day.
