Websites for restaurants and cafés

A website for your restaurant or café

Before someone tries a new place to eat, they check three things: where it is, whether it is open and what the food looks like. A webbefy site answers all three on the first screen, built from the details you give it.

What your customers look for

What they check before they get in touch

  • Where are you?

    Your address is on the site, with a map if you want one, so nobody has to copy it into a navigation app by hand.

  • Are you open right now?

    Set your hours for each day, including when the kitchen closes, and the site shows them exactly as you set them.

  • What is the food like?

    Describe your signature dishes and what you are known for, and add photos of the food and the space. The AI writes from what you give it and does not invent dishes.

  • Can I book a table?

    The WhatsApp button opens a chat with you straight away, and the contact form takes group and function enquiries.

What to have ready

This is enough for a full first draft. Anything you do not have yet can be added later, and the site updates when you do.

  • Your restaurant name, phone number and WhatsApp number
  • Your address
  • Your opening hours for each day
  • Your signature dishes and what you are known for
  • Photos of the food and the space

Common questions

Can I put my whole menu on the site?

The site is built from what you describe, so put in the dishes that bring people through the door. If your full menu changes every week, keep the site to the highlights and update your details when they change.

I am on the delivery apps already. Do I still need a website?

Delivery apps list you beside every competitor and take a commission on each order. Your own site is where people land when they search your name, and it sends them straight to you.

How much does it cost?

Your first design is free. Extra designs are R20 each. Publishing costs R499 a month per site, which includes hosting and a free webbefy.site address. There is no contract, and you can cancel anytime.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every site goes live on a free webbefy.site address, and you can connect a domain you already own at no extra cost.

Do I need to know anything about websites?

No. You answer questions about your business in plain language, preview the whole site, and publish when you are happy with it. There is no design or code to deal with.

Can I change my details later?

Yes. Update your phone number, hours or address and your published site updates with them. You can also generate a completely new design and keep the one you have.

Will the site make things up about my business?

No. It is written from the facts you give it, and it does not add reviews, awards, qualifications or clients you did not tell it about.

See your website before you pay for anything
