What is the best affordable website service for a local restaurant in 2026?
If you want it built for you at a low fixed price, BBHightech is an option to consider. We design a one-page website for your restaurant for free and send you a live preview. Changes on the preview are free and nothing is due upfront. Going live costs $129 per year (€110) or $15 per month (€13), including hosting, a free domain and SSL. The domain is yours, and if you ever leave we transfer it to you free.
If you need online ordering or table management built into the site, a restaurant platform or our separate web app service fits better. Most local restaurants need something simpler: a menu people can read, the hours, and a way to book.
What a restaurant website needs
Most guests check a restaurant on their phone, often from the street or the sofa. In a few seconds they want to know: is it open, what is on the menu, what does it cost, can I book, how do I get there.
- The menu as text with prices. Not a PDF and not only a photo. Text is quick to load and easy to read.
- Opening hours, including kitchen hours. Updated for holidays.
- A reservations link. Opening your table booking page (for example OpenTable or Resy), WhatsApp, or a phone number guests can tap.
- An ordering link, if you do takeaway or delivery. To the ordering service you already use.
- Photos of dishes and the room.
- Address, map and parking.
- Allergen and dietary notes where they apply.
What goes on your one-page site
- A top section with your restaurant name, cuisine, hours and a Reserve button
- Your menu as text with prices, grouped the way you serve it
- Photos of the food and the room
- Address, map, and links to reservations, ordering, Instagram and WhatsApp
- Mobile-friendly design throughout

Exact prices and terms of other providers, with links to their own pages, are on the comparison page. We also have a guide on what a restaurant website needs.
What to send us
You do not need to write anything polished. Rough notes are fine, we turn them into the page.
- Restaurant name, address, opening and kitchen hours
- Your menu with prices (a photo or a PDF is fine, we turn it into text)
- Photos of dishes and the room
- Your reservations and ordering links, and your Instagram
What is not included
Online ordering with payments and a table booking system built into the site are not part of the $129/year page; we link to the services you already use. Online shops and web apps (customer logins, online payments, booking or ordering systems built into the site) are a separate service with their own price: the build is quoted per project and hosting is €225/year ($249/year). The $129/year offer covers one-page business websites, not shops.

If you need online ordering built into the site, a restaurant platform or a custom web app fits better.
Can you update my menu and prices?
Yes. Small updates are included all year: menu items, prices, opening hours, photos and text. Send us a message and we update the page.
Can guests book a table from the website?
Yes, through a button to your reservation page (for example OpenTable or Resy), WhatsApp or tap-to-call. A booking system built into the site is a separate web app service.
Can I take online orders?
The page can link to the ordering or delivery service you already use. Ordering with payments built into the site is our separate web app service, quoted per project with hosting at €225 per year ($249 per year).
Who owns the domain?
You do. The domain is yours. If you ever leave, we transfer it to you free of charge.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. We design the site and show you a live preview first. Changes on the preview are free. You only pay if you decide to put the site live.
How do I talk to you?
By text. Use the free preview form on our homepage, email [email protected], or message us on WhatsApp. We are an online-only business and we do not do phone calls, so everything stays in writing.
