Websites for restaurants, cafés & sweet shops
Website design for restaurants, cafés and sweet shops in Kolkata
A restaurant website in Kolkata earns its keep when it answers hungry questions fast: what’s cooking today, how much it costs, whether you’re open and how to order. We build menu-first sites for restaurants, cafés and mishti shops, with ordering that runs through the WhatsApp number you already use.
What your customers type into Google
- biryani home delivery near me
- café in Lake Town with seating
- sweet shop near me open now
- Bengali thali Gariahat
- restaurant for birthday party Salt Lake
- nolen gur sandesh order online
- kochuri breakfast near me
Your website and Google listing should answer every one of these.
Why it matters
Why restaurants, cafés & sweet shops need their own website.
- 01
Your own menu, not only an app listing
On delivery apps your dishes sit beside dozens of competitors and every order pays a commission. A restaurant website with a WhatsApp order button gives regulars a direct way to order from you.
- 02
Google sends hungry people to a menu
Search “Bengali restaurant near me” and Google shows Maps listings first. The next tap is usually the menu or photos, and a clear, current menu page turns that look into a visit more often than a blurry photo of a laminated card.
- 03
Festivals and parties need planning
Jamai Sasthi, Poila Baisakh, Puja and wedding season bring bulk orders and pre-orders. A party page and a festival pre-order form let you collect orders days ahead instead of turning people away at the counter.
What we build
What your website includes.
Menu with a WhatsApp cart
Dishes grouped by section, with prices and veg or non-veg marks. Customers tick what they want and the full order, quantities included, arrives on your WhatsApp. Try it on our café sample.
Today’s specials
A small spot for the day’s fish curry, seasonal sweets or the weekend biryani, which gives regulars a reason to check back.
Mishti box or combo builder
Customers pick sweets piece by piece, or choose a thali or combo, and watch the running total before they send it.
Party and bulk order estimates
Guest count and menu choice give a rough per-plate figure, and the request comes to you for a final quote.
Table booking for busy evenings
Diners choose a date, a time and the number of people, and you confirm on WhatsApp. Handy for weekend dinners and Puja nights when walk-ins queue outside.
Hours, delivery area and FSSAI number
Opening hours, the localities you deliver to, any minimum order, a map, and your FSSAI licence number in the footer.
Price
The plan most restaurants, cafés & sweet shops pick.
Growth suits most restaurants and cafés because it includes menu pages and table or order booking. A small sweet shop that only needs a price list, hours and a WhatsApp button can do well on Starter, while chains with several outlets should look at Pro.
One-time price. Domain and hosting renewal is about ₹2,500 a year from year two. Pay 50% after you approve the free demo.
Growth
₹14,999one-time
For businesses that want bookings and more Google traffic.
- Up to 8 pages
- Everything in Starter
- Booking or appointment system
- Menu, price list or course pages
- On-page SEO for 10 local keywords
- Google Analytics setup
Google & Maps
How to get found in local searches.
Advice we follow when we set up your Google Business Profile and website. Most of it you can do yourself today.
- 01
Pick the most specific primary category Google offers, for example “Bengali restaurant”, “Cafe” or “Indian sweets shop” rather than plain “Restaurant”. Add secondary categories such as “Caterer” or “Bakery” only if you genuinely offer them.
- 02
Paste your website menu link and WhatsApp order link into the profile’s menu and ordering fields, so the buttons on Maps lead to you and not only to a delivery app.
- 03
Upload fresh food photos every few weeks: the morning counter, a plated thali, the season’s sweets. Pictures from your own kitchen tell people far more than stock images.
- 04
Post before each festival: nolen gur arrivals in winter, Jamai Sasthi menus, Puja hours and pre-order cut-off dates. Set special hours for Puja days so Maps doesn’t send anyone to a closed shutter.
- 05
Answer reviews that mention a dish or a delay with a specific, calm reply (“Sorry the kosha mangsho came late on Saturday, we’ve added a rider for weekends”). The next reader trusts that far more than a generic thank you.
Rules worth knowing
- Food businesses must display their FSSAI licence or registration number at the premises, and repeating it on your website and menu pages makes sense because customers and platforms look for it. Check the latest display rules on the FSSAI website (opens in a new tab).
- Be clear whether menu prices include GST. The Central Consumer Protection Authority’s 2022 guidelines say a service charge cannot be added to the bill automatically, so if you ask for one, state that it is optional. Confirm the current position before printing it on the site.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so check the current version with your council or regulator.
FAQ
Questions owners ask us.
More answers on the FAQ page.
How much does a restaurant or café website cost?
Starter is ₹7,999 and Growth, which most restaurants choose for the menu pages and table booking, is ₹14,999. Both are paid once, and from the second year the domain and hosting renew at about ₹2,500. Our pricing page shows what each plan includes.
Can customers order food from the website?
Yes, through WhatsApp. They build an order from your menu and it reaches your phone as a ready message listing items and quantities. You confirm, then share your UPI ID or collect cash on delivery. Card payments with a full online checkout are quoted separately. Run a home kitchen instead? See websites for tiffin services.
Our menu and prices change often. Who updates them?
Small edits are free in the first month. After that, send the new dishes or prices on WhatsApp and they are changed for you, and an optional maintenance plan can cover regular updates. If your specials change every week, the Pro plan includes an offers section you can edit yourself.
Will a website help us show up on Google Maps?
It helps, but your Google Business Profile does most of the work on Maps. Setting up or cleaning up that profile is included in every plan, and the website gives Google a menu, hours and an address that match it. For the full picture, read how “near me” searches work.
Can the menu show Bengali names as well as English?
Yes. Many sweet shops and Bengali restaurants print dish names in Bengali script beside the English, so a grandmother and a college student can both find the chhanar jilipi. You provide or approve the Bengali names and they sit next to the English ones on the menu.
