Concept restaurant projects

These are concept builds, made on spec to show how we work. They are not commissioned client projects.

Concept · Steakhouse

Concept BBQ smokehouse website design by Studio O'Brien

Reservations + events

Smokehouse concept

A BBQ site built around menus, hours, and getting people through the door.

Concept bakery website design by Studio O'Brien

Mobile-first

Bakery concept

Online ordering, seasonal menus, and a storefront site that works on a phone.

Two local concept builds are written up screen by screen: Ben's Smokehouse in Spindale, built around search and order-ahead, and Slim's Bar & Grill in Forest City, built around the menu and walk-in traffic.

What we build for restaurants

Custom Website Design

No templates. Every page designed around your restaurant's atmosphere and brand.

Online Menu Design

Menus that look great on a phone: readable without zooming, easy to update.

Reservation Integration

OpenTable, Resy, Tock, or a simple call button, whatever fits how you book tables.

Online Ordering

Toast, Square, or direct integrations that don't eat your margins with third-party fees.

Google Business Profile

Hours, menu links, photos, and reviews, all connected so customers find everything in one tap.

Local SEO

Show up when someone searches "best steakhouse near me" or "bakery Shelby NC."

Event & Catering Pages

Private dining, catering menus, and event booking, built to generate leads, not just look pretty.

Photo-Ready Design

Layouts built to showcase food photography. We'll coordinate with photographers or work with what you have.

How we work

Four steps from first call to live site. No meetings, no phone tag, no wasted time.

1

Discovery

One call. We ask about your menu, your customers, and what's not working with your current online presence.

2

Design & Build

We write every word, design every page, and build your menu and reservations from scratch.

3

Walkthrough

Recorded video tour of the full site. Review on your own time. No meetings.

4

Launch

We go live. You own the domain, hosting, and every line of code. No lock-in.

Why restaurants choose us

No templates

Custom-built around your restaurant. No cookie-cutter layouts.

Mobile-first

Your menu readable on any phone screen without zooming.

You own everything

Domain, hosting, source code: all yours. No lock-in, no monthly fees unless you want ongoing support.

No meetings

Recorded walkthrough. Review on your schedule.

We speak business, not code

Every decision explained in business terms, not jargon.

14-day delivery

From first call to live site. Clear timeline.

Real copy, real strategy

Every word written for your customers. No filler.

Ongoing support

Menu updates, specials, seasonal changes after launch.

Questions restaurant owners ask us

How much does a restaurant website cost?

Every restaurant is different. A steakhouse needs different features than a bakery. We'll give you a straight quote after hearing about your space, your menu, and what you need the site to do.

How long does it take?

We build to a 14-day timeline from first call to live. That includes menu design, reservation integration, and mobile optimization.

Can you integrate with our reservation system?

Yes. We work with OpenTable, Resy, Tock, and direct booking forms. If you use something else, we'll make it work.

Will my menu be easy to update?

Yes. We build with tools that let you change items, prices, and specials yourself, no coding, no calling us every time.

Do you handle online ordering?

Yes. We integrate with Toast, Square, and direct platforms so you keep more revenue instead of losing it to third-party delivery fees.

What if we already have a website?

We'll rebuild it without losing your SEO or your Google reviews. Migration is part of the process: no extra charge, no downtime.

We publish the numbers behind this page. Every guide below is cited and written for owners, not marketers:
