Every time I go to a restaurant that's practically empty, I check the website on my phone and it's always really bad (busy restaurants usually have at least a decent site). The worst part is I often offer to do a redesign for a modest price but they never see the value in it.
- famousactress 15y agoI think it's an interesting issue. I'm not actually convinced that restaurants even really need much of a website, honestly. The busy ones could probably do fine without altogether.. so in some ways, the indifference isn't what surprises me... What surprises me is the unbelievably awful 5,000-10,000$ flash monstrosities that make it basically impossible for me to figure out if you've got egg salad. For me the world is split first into things assist in, or get in the way of me eating egg salad.

- Raphael_Amiard 15y agoDoesn't work like that here (Paris but france generally). Most busy restaurants i know don't have a website at all !
- roel_v 15y agoThere are several people on HN who have tried to attack that market, in various ways. I'd be interested if any of reads this how they've fared? It's a hard, hard market...
- jarin 15y agoIt's crazy, I've gone rock bottom and offered a one-page redesign for $500 (for a restaurant whose site was just a logo and a link to a PDF of their menu), and it's still like pulling teeth. I understand that they're very cash-conscious (my father owns a restaurant), but they lose way more money than that on those dumb coupon books that mainly attract cheapskate customers who never come back.
