How to Build a Restaurant or Café Website From Your Phone
Hungry customers check your menu and hours on their phones before they visit. A simple, fast website answers those questions and brings people through the door. Here’s how to build one for your restaurant or café with Owlvo.
The sections a food business needs
- Hero banner — your name, a mouth-watering photo and a “See menu” button.
- Menu / price list — your dishes and prices, grouped by category.
- Gallery — photos of your food and space.
- Opening hours — so people know when you’re open.
- Map & address — one tap to directions.
- Reviews and a WhatsApp form for reservations.
Build it step by step
- Sign up free, tap New site and start from a template or a blank page.
- Add the sections above and fill in your details and photos.
- Use the Menu / price list section to list categories like Starters, Mains and Drinks with prices.
- Set your brand colours and logo so it feels like your place.
Take reservations without a system
Add a WhatsApp form — when a guest fills it in, the request reaches you as a WhatsApp message, so you can confirm the table in seconds. No booking software required.
Get found locally
Fill in Owlvo’s SEO settings with your restaurant’s name, area and a short description so you show up when people search nearby. Add your address and map so Google and customers can find you.
Publish and share
Preview on phone and desktop, publish in one tap, then share the link and QR code — print the QR on your table cards or window so guests can open the menu instantly. Later, connect a custom domain like yourcafe.com.
