Your best table is empty on a Tuesday.

Your food deserves better than a static template with a PDF menu. We build cinematic restaurant sites — ambient dining-room film, dishes in motion, one-tap reservations — that turn a Google search into a booked table.

What your restaurant's site gets

Everything below is drawn for your brand. None of it ships in a theme.

Ambient dining film

A slow, cinematic loop of your room at golden hour — candles, pours, plates landing. The feeling of being there, before they arrive.

Menus in motion

No PDF downloads. Fast, beautiful, phone-first menus your team can update in minutes — with dishes that fade in as you scroll.

Reservations built in

OpenTable, Resy, Tock or direct booking — wired into the design, one tap from every page.

Local SEO that ranks

Schema for menus, hours, and location so you surface for “best cuisine near me” — and in AI answers.

Phone-perfect

Most diners find you on a phone at 7pm. The whole experience is designed for that exact moment.

Social proof woven in

Press, reviews, and awards presented like a tasting menu — not a wall of screenshots.

50msTO DECIDE IF THE MEAL LOOKS WORTH IT · LINDGAARD ET AL. 2006

Your website is seen more than your front door. A diner deciding between you and the place down the street sees your site first — if it looks like the meal will feel special, they book. We make it look unmistakably special.

Your menu, the way it should behave

Not a PDF. Switch a service, mark a dish sold out, change a price — this is the component we ship, running live. Your team edits it from a phone between covers, and Google reads every line as text, which is how you turn up when someone searches the dish instead of the restaurant.

We asked three AI assistants what a build like Trend Contract Furnishings’ should cost

  • ChatGPT est.$65k–$80k
  • Claude est.$25k–$45k
  • Perplexity est.$50k–$75k
  • Our price$2,500

Same prompt to each, with the finished site as the example. ChatGPT and Perplexity re-asked 19 August 2026; Claude’s figure is from 29 July 2026. The $2,500 is what a build like this costs today, and the client reported 147% more quote requests after we made their new website.

Questions restaurant owners ask us

How much does a restaurant website cost?

A cinematic one-page restaurant site is The Launch Build, from $1,100 — ambient film treatment, motion menu and local SEO included. Most restaurants take The Signature Site from $2,500, which adds separate menu, story and private-events pages plus reservation integration. Multi-page with online ordering is The Flagship, from $4,700.

Can you film our restaurant?

Yes — ambient film is our signature. We art-direct short, loopable shots of your space and dishes; if you have existing footage we can grade and use that instead.

Can we update the menu ourselves?

Yes. Menus are built for fast edits — you (or we, on a care plan) can change dishes and prices in minutes. No PDF re-uploads, ever.

Will it work with OpenTable / Resy / Toast?

Yes. We integrate the reservation and ordering stack you already use, styled to match the site instead of a clunky default widget.
