Updated 6 October 2026 · 3 min read · By the Thryve Apex team
Quick answer: A restaurant website usually costs $1,200–$3,000 for a single restaurant with menu, photos and reservations, and $3,000–$6,000 with online ordering, multiple locations or custom design. Ordering and reservation tools often add monthly fees.

Great food photography.
Reservations through your booking tool.
Online ordering for delivery and pickup, ideally commission-free.
Location, hours and directions that match Google.
Events and private dining enquiries.

Delivery apps charge high commissions. A direct ordering system on your website (with WooCommerce or a dedicated ordering tool) lets loyal customers order without the fee. Many restaurants use both: apps for discovery, the website for regulars.
