Open Source IT - Restaurant Website Design

Restaurant and Accommodation Website Design

Every month thousands of Australians search the web for a restaurant holiday accommodation. Having independent web presence can distinguish your business and gain you valuable customers. Good food, drinks and accommodation need to be connected with customers. Potential customers are finding where to stay and eat by searching the web.

Open Source IT specialises in developing customised restaurant and accommodation web sites. The face of marketing has changed. A website now allows you to market your business at a fraction of the cost of the old paper based method. However it is important to realise an online presence is all about being found in the top few results of a Google search. One of these searches can return millions of results. You don't want to be buried behind the first few results. Our websites ensure that potential customers searching for your products and services will find you. This is important to the ongoing success of your business. Bringing visitors to your site increases your potential customer network. Optimising your site to be found is our focus.

Online Bookings

Did you know that potential customers are searching for online restaurant and food menus? Yes, there are many people "Googling" to book a table or a room at your business. Are these potential patrons finding your business? Can your business afford not to own some smart online real estate? Open Source IT uses free Content Management Systems (CMS) to ensure your website is created and online in a timely and cost effective manner. Our web design process ensures your venture onto the web is smooth and cost effective.

TableBoss is a web tool that we add to your website. It allows your customers to book a table in your restaurant online, 24 hours a day. That's right, no phone calls or writing pads to take a customer's details while you are clearing up. This online booking system has some fantastic features:

• Reservations are made in real time. This means you can view the bookings as they are made.
• Customers can reserve a table from anywhere in the world anytime of the day or your staff can enter bookings over the phone or at the entrance.
• The seating in your restaurant will be optimised to allow for a full house, without allowing overbooking.
• You can set a desirable down time between reservations to ensure your customers are not stranded at the entrance.

Online Menus

Our Restaurant Menu Manager allows you and your staff to create and manage your business' food and drink menus. This manager is ideal for cafes, bars or restaurants. In fact you can manage multiple menus through your website and allow customers to view, download and print your menu. The major functions of this website feature include:

• Uploading photos for each menu item.
• Highlight promotions or special of the day on the front page.
• Colour PDF download, printing and saving of your menus.
• You can link menu items to other sections of your website. This is great for online articles.
• Menu item reviews can be activated. This allows customers to rate the meal they enjoyed. Interacting with your customers spreads the news across the internet.
