Website development for restaurants and hotels

Three packages, still at the rate of €595 per day. Landing page (4 days, from €2,380): a page for a specific offer or event. business website (8 days, from €4,760): your online establishment with an interactive menu, local SEO and an optimized Google Business Profile. Site with CMS (from 16 days, from €9,520): for a group or several establishments, advanced SEO architecture, multilingual and integrations. In all cases: zero commission on your reservations. A 25-minute call is enough to meet your needs.

Your customers book directly on your site: choice of time slot (lunch/evening), number of place settings, date, possibly a specific table. Availability is displayed in real time. Once the reservation is confirmed, the customer receives an automatic email and/or SMS. A reminder is sent the day before. In the event of cancellation, the slot is automatically freed. The system synchronizes with your calendar (Google Calendar or internal tool). You don't have to manage anything manually. For hotels, the same principle applies to rooms with availability management and connection to your PMS.

Yes, and this is the strategy I recommend when starting out. The goal is not to shut down TheFork overnight, but to build a growing direct booking channel. Your site becomes your main showcase, through local SEO, Google Maps and your networks; platforms remain a complementary channel. Over the months, the share of direct reservations increases and your commissions decrease accordingly. You decide the pace, based on what you measure.

Yes. You modify dishes, prices, allergens and photos in a few clicks from a simple interface, without requiring a developer. The change is immediately online, readable on mobile and indexable by Google, where a PDF menu is not. During the mock-up phase, I show you the interface before building it, so that you validate what you are going to use every day.

Local SEO is integrated from the design: Schema.org markup for establishments (Restaurant, Hotel, LocalBusiness), NAP consistency (name, address, telephone) on all pages, Google Maps integration, and content optimization for geolocated searches. I also guide you on managing your Google Business Profile. The goal: to appear in the top 3 when a tourist searches for your type of establishment in your neighborhood, on Google and in the AI responses of ChatGPT and Perplexity.

Yes. The site is multilingual FR/NL/EN (or any other language depending on your clientele). Each version is SEO optimized in its language and indexed separately by Google. If you manage content independently, the admin interface allows you to 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 objective is to avoid duplicates: each slot reserved, 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 lives in your own Git repository from day one, on standard open source technologies, with technical documentation provided on delivery. Trusted developers know the project and can intervene.

What I can't promise is to be available forever; what I can guarantee is that my departure will not block you.

Yes, the photos remain your responsibility. This is what makes you want to book, so this is the item worth putting money on. If you don't have professional photos, I can recommend food and hospitality photographers in Brussels. On the technical side, all images are compressed and served in modern formats: they are displayed quickly without losing visible quality.
