Restaurant websites that
take the booking without the fee.

Own-domain reservations, allergen-aware menu pages, photo galleries that load on a phone, and local SEO for "restaurant near me", built end to end by an independent Co. Cork studio. No per-cover commission, no third-party widget.

What this is

Own the table.
And the data.

Most Irish restaurants we audit are paying €2–3 per cover to a third-party reservation platform that takes the booking, owns the customer email, and bumps your listing down their grid when a competitor pays for placement.

We build the alternative. Own-domain reservations integrated into your site so the booking is yours, the customer email is yours, the no-show data is yours. Allergen-aware menu pages so the front-of-house team isn't reading from a printed sheet at 8pm on a Saturday. Photo galleries that load fast enough that someone tapping a Google result doesn't bounce. Local SEO for the searches your future regulars are actually typing.

Senior hands on every line, weekly check-ins, fixed scope, fixed price. Same MTMN standard as every other build.

What we'd build

Six things every
restaurant site we ship comes with.

Standard scope. Not optional. Not "an upgrade we could add for an extra fee per cover."

/ 01

Reservations on your domain

Custom booking flow integrated directly into your site. No third-party redirect, no commission, no off-brand widget. Bookings land in your inbox and your team calendar. Customer email is yours.

/ 02

Menu pages with allergen filtering

Front-of-house can point a customer to the gluten-free, dairy-free or nut-free list in five seconds instead of squinting at a printout. Menu updates from your phone, no developer call needed.

/ 03

Photo galleries that load fast

Lazy-loaded, properly compressed, modern format. Your hero shot doesn't take 8 seconds to render on a 4G phone on Patrick's Bridge. Bounce rate stays low; reservations go up.

/ 04

Location, hours & map

One-tap directions, public-holiday hours, parking note, dietary accommodation note. The information someone makes a booking decision on, placed where they're looking for it.

/ 05

Local SEO for your area

Schema, Google Business setup, area-served pages for the towns and neighbourhoods your regulars come from. "Restaurant Cork city", "Sunday lunch Mallow", the queries that drive actual covers.

/ 06

Built for a phone

Core Web Vitals in the green at launch. The vast majority of restaurant traffic is mobile, often deciding what to eat in the next 40 minutes. The site loads, the menu's visible, the booking button is thumb-reachable.

How it goes

Call to live,
in seven–eight weeks.

The full week-by-week timeline is on our web design page. Here's the shape of it for a restaurant build.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    30 minutes. We learn the restaurant – covers, peak times, what's not working with how customers find you and book today.

  2. 02

    Proposal & agreement

    Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. Signed before any work starts. No surprise fees, no per-cover commissions, ever.

  3. 03

    Design & build

    3–4 weeks. Weekly check-ins so the booking flow matches your front-of-house workflow and the photography reads on a phone.

  4. 04

    Launch & support

    Live, indexed, SSL'd, Google Business updated. 30 days of post-launch support included for menu updates, photo swaps and tweaks.
