Web development for restaurants and hotels

Three formats, always at €595 per working day. Landing page (2 days, from €1,190): one page for a specific offer or event. Showcase website (6 days, from €2,975): your venue online with an interactive menu, local SEO and an optimised Google Business Profile. Website with CMS (from 12 days, from €8,925): for a group or several venues, advanced SEO architecture, multilingual and integrations. In all cases: no commission on your bookings. A 25-minute call is enough to scope your needs.

Your customers book directly on your site: choice of time slot (lunch/dinner), number of covers, date, and optionally a specific table. Availability is displayed in real time. Once the booking is confirmed, the customer receives an automatic email and/or SMS. A reminder is sent the day before. In case of cancellation, the time slot is freed automatically. The system syncs with your calendar (Google Calendar or internal tool). You have nothing to manage manually. For hotels, the same principle applies to rooms with availability management and PMS connection.

Yes, and it is the strategy I recommend to start with. The goal is not to cut TheFork overnight, but to build a direct booking channel that gains momentum. Your site becomes your main storefront, through local SEO, Google Maps and your social accounts; the platforms stay a complementary channel. Over the months, the share of direct bookings rises and your commissions fall accordingly. You decide the pace, based on what you measure.

Yes. You update dishes, prices, allergens and photos in a few clicks from a simple interface, without going through a developer. The change goes live immediately, readable on mobile and indexable by Google, which a PDF menu is not. During the mockup phase, I show you the admin interface before building it, so you can approve what you will be using every day.

Local SEO is integrated from the design phase: Schema.org markup for venues (Restaurant, Hotel, LocalBusiness), NAP consistency (name, address, phone) across all pages, Google Maps integration, and content optimised for geolocated searches. I also guide you on managing your Google Business Profile. The goal: appear in the top 3 when a tourist searches for your type of venue in your neighbourhood, on Google and in AI answers from ChatGPT and Perplexity.

Yes. The site is multilingual FR/NL/EN (or any other language depending on your clientele). Each version is SEO-optimised in its language and indexed separately by Google. If you manage content independently, the admin interface lets you publish in each language independently.

It depends on the platform. TheFork offers an embeddable widget that can coexist with your direct booking system. For hotels, the connection with Booking goes through a channel manager. The goal is to avoid duplicates: every booking, regardless of the channel, updates your availability. The exact configuration is defined during the scoping call based on your current tools.

The complete source code of your site lives in your own Git repository from day one, on standard open-source technologies, with the technical documentation delivered at launch. Developers I trust know the project and can step in.

What I cannot promise is being available forever; what I can guarantee is that my leaving does not block you.

Yes, photos remain your responsibility. They are what makes people want to book, so they are the line worth spending money on. If you do not have professional photos, I can recommend food and hospitality photographers in Brussels. On the technical side, every image is compressed and served in modern formats: they appear fast without visible loss of quality.
