Websites for cafes, coffee shops and coffee carts that answer what people check on their phone before they walk over: are you open, what's on the menu, and where exactly are you.
Most people look a cafe up on a phone, often while already out, to check the hours, scan the menu and find the door. A cafe site earns its keep by putting those three things in plain sight, then pointing regulars to what brings them back: ordering ahead, catering and the latest specials.
Cafe hours go out of date faster than anything else on the site: early closes, a kitchen that stops before the coffee machine does, winter hours, public holidays. We put your hours near the top of the home page, word them the same way as your Google Business Profile, and change them whenever you email us.
A photo of the chalkboard or a scanned PDF means pinching and zooming. We set your menu out as real text with prices and dietary markers, so it reads well on a small screen, works with screen readers and can be read by search engines. New prices or a seasonal change are a text edit, covered by hosting.
Customers with coeliac disease or allergies read menus closely. In Australia a "gluten free" claim means no detectable gluten, which a shared kitchen may not be able to promise, and cafes must be able to tell a customer which allergens are in a dish when asked. We use the dietary markers you choose and add a line asking anyone with an allergy to speak to staff.
An embedded Google Map, plus the details a map leaves out: which laneway or arcade, where to park, the nearest train or tram stop, whether prams and wheelchairs fit through the entrance, and whether dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables.
If you take orders through Square Online, a QR ordering platform or a delivery app such as Uber Eats or DoorDash, the site gets an Order ahead button that opens it. We don't build ordering or payments ourselves; we make the system you already use easy to reach, with your number beside it for anyone who'd rather ring.
Office catering, platters for pick-up, beans by the bag, a monthly trivia night or a back room for small groups: whatever earns money beyond the counter gets its own section and a short enquiry form, so a catering order doesn't get buried in your Instagram messages.
There's no cafe among the client sites in our portfolio yet, so here is the closest match in shape: a one-page site for a South Australian tourism business that does the jobs a cafe home page does. It sells the experience with photos, answers the usual questions and keeps the map and phone number within easy reach. Below it is a Google review from one of our clients.
Full-day fishing charters from Cape Jervis, seven days a week. We built a one-page site with a catch photo gallery, an FAQ, customer reviews, an embedded map, a booking request form, gift voucher requests and tap-to-call.

$399
Hours, a short menu, the map and parking notes, a few photos and your ordering links on a single page. Enough for a coffee cart or a hole-in-the-wall with a tight menu.
Our suggestion for most cafes
$899
A home page with hours and location, a full menu page, and a third page for catering, events or the story behind the place.
$1,499
For cafes with more than one venue, a roastery or wholesale side, or separate breakfast, lunch, catering and events pages.
Yes, through the ordering system you already use. We add an Order ahead button on every page that opens your online ordering or delivery app listing, and make your number a tap-to-call link for phone orders. We don't run an ordering or payment system of our own, so we take nothing from each order.
Email us. Hosting is $30 a month and includes unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages, so new prices, a winter menu, holiday hours or a fresh photo of the counter are covered. A brand-new page, such as a catering page added later, is quoted first.
If you add a surcharge on certain days, customers should know before they arrive. The ACCC's price display guidance lets cafes and restaurants show normal menu prices with the words "a surcharge of [percentage] applies on [day or days]", displayed at least as prominently as the most prominent price; a surcharge charged every day has to be built into the prices. We put that line wherever your prices appear, and the ACCC's guidance is the place to check how it applies to you.
For most cafes we suggest the 3-page site at $899: a home page with hours and location, a full menu page, and a page for catering or your story. A coffee cart or a small cafe with a short menu can fit everything on the one-page site at $399. Groups with several venues, or a roastery selling wholesale, usually need the 8-page site at $1,499.
We don't promise rankings. What we do is build a fast site with your suburb, hours, menu and what you're known for written as plain text, which gives Google something clear to match. For "near me" searches your Google Business Profile carries a lot of weight too, so keep its hours and its menu link in step with the site.
