Why you should have a website for your restaurant
Today, most restaurants have a website. The only ones that don't have it are out-of-network or out-of-network sites and those that have a very local clientele and don't need it.
Most of the places with an online presence know that both the design and the use of the web must be 100% optimal, with a desired UX level.

It is proven that more than 30% of restaurant reservations are made online. And the websites of specific restaurants, account for 57% in the search of users, so we think that it is a high percentage and reason enough to ask if our website is fully optimized and is attractive enough to get more customers.

The ideal is to entrust the design of your website to someone specialized, so that they can make a website according to your needs, but at the same time, it can be constantly updated, in a simple way, by someone from the same restaurant, for this, the web needs a content manager such as WordPress.
