How much does a restaurant website cost in India?
A restaurant website in India costs ₹8,000–₹25,000 for a 5–7 page menu site and ₹25,000–₹75,000 for a larger site with booking and several outlets, using WebJi®'s published design bands before 18% GST. A full online-ordering store with cart and payments falls in the e-commerce band of ₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000.
The tier is decided by what a diner can do on the page, not by the page count. A menu people read is a brochure; a menu people pay from is a shop, with payment testing, refunds and order alerts.
| Tier | What diners can do | WebJi® band | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do it yourself | Read a menu, call, find the map | Website builder from ₹2,900 a year | Same week, you build it |
| Menu site | Browse menu, hours, gallery, tap to call or WhatsApp | Starter site ₹8,000–₹25,000 | 5–7 working days after content |
| Menu plus booking | Reserve a table, pick an outlet, read events and catering pages | Business site ₹25,000–₹75,000 | 2–4 weeks |
| Ordering store | Order and pay by UPI or card, choose delivery or pickup | E-commerce ₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000 | 2–4 weeks, depending on menu size |
Bands are indicative; WebJi® has no fixed restaurant package, and the website design team confirms a fixed scope and price in INR before any payment.
Which restaurant features change the quote most?
Six decisions explain most of the gap between two restaurant website quotes: menu editing, payments, reservations, ordering rules, photography and the number of outlets. Settle them before you ask for prices, or each vendor quotes a different site.
- Menu editing: a menu typed into the page is cheap and goes stale; a menu with an admin screen lets your manager change a dish price without a developer.
- Payments: a gateway adds setup, webhook testing, refund handling and a per-transaction fee set by the gateway provider.
- Reservations: a form that emails the manager costs little but misses double bookings; live table inventory needs a booking tool or custom logic.
- Ordering rules: delivery radius, minimum order, pickup slots and kitchen alerts are logic, and logic is where the budget goes.
- Photography: usually outside the build. One shoot of the dining room and a dozen signature dishes beats stock images of food you do not serve.
- Outlets: one outlet is one contact page; four outlets need per-branch hours, menus, maps and phone numbers.
Which restaurant website tier fits your business today?
Pick the tier that matches how orders arrive this month, not where you hope to be next year. A dhaba or café where most guests walk in needs a fast menu site and a complete Google Business Profile far more than a cart.
If the phone rings for takeaway every evening, add a WhatsApp order button to a menu site first; it costs little and shows whether direct demand exists. Fine-dining rooms and banquet venues gain most from the booking tier, because a reservation or a catering enquiry is the conversion. Move to a full ordering store only when regulars already ask how to order from you directly.
Is a direct-ordering restaurant website worth it against aggregator commission?
It is worth it only when enough regular customers switch to ordering direct; do the sum with the commission rate in your own aggregator contract. Rates differ by city, outlet and contract, so this guide does not assume one.
| Line | Arithmetic | Rupees per month |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly order value | 40 orders × ₹400 × 30 days | ₹4,80,000 |
| Each 1% of commission | ₹4,80,000 × 1% | ₹4,800 |
| Quarter of orders moved direct, at your rate R% | ₹1,20,000 × R% | ₹1,200 × R |
Subtract your gateway fee on the moved orders, then divide the build cost by the monthly saving to get the payback period. Keep the aggregator for discovery by first-time diners; the direct site is for people who already know you, and it lets you keep their phone numbers.
What does a restaurant website cost every year after launch?
The yearly cost is hosting plus the domain renewal plus any paid booking or ordering tool; on WebJi® that starts at ₹3,868 a year before 18% GST. That figure is Webji Launch shared hosting at ₹2,868 for one year plus a .in domain at ₹1,000.
| Item | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Webji Launch hosting | ₹299/month or ₹2,868/year | 1 website, 10 email accounts, free SSL |
| Webji Turbo hosting | ₹399/month or ₹3,828/year | Unlimited email for larger staff |
| .in domain | ₹1,000/year | Renews at the same ₹1,000 |
| .com domain | ₹1,380 first year, ₹1,480 after | For brands that also serve tourists |
A first-year total for a menu site therefore starts at ₹11,868 before GST: ₹8,000 build + ₹2,868 hosting + ₹1,000 domain. Budget the renewal alongside the build, or the site stops in month thirteen when nobody remembers the login.
What should a restaurant website quote list in writing?
A complete quote names the pages, who supplies copy and photos, how the menu is edited, what booking or ordering is included, who owns the domain, and whether GST is extra. A quote missing three of those is not cheaper, only shorter.
- List the exact pages: home, menu, about, gallery, outlets, contact, and any catering or events page.
- Confirm the domain and hosting are in your business name, with admin access from day one.
- Ask whether the menu is HTML text (searchable, quick on phones) rather than a scanned PDF.
- Get the price before 18% GST, the payment schedule and the yearly renewals on one page.

Frequently asked questions
Can a small café build its own website instead of hiring a designer?
Yes. The WebJi® website builder starts at ₹2,900 a year before 18% GST with hosting and email included, which suits a café that needs a menu, hours and a map. Hire a designer once you need booking, several outlets or online payments.
Should the restaurant menu be a PDF or a web page?
A web page. Search engines and AI assistants read text menus far more reliably than scanned PDFs, text loads faster on mid-range phones, and one dish price can be changed without redesigning the whole file.
Does a cloud kitchen need a full website?
Often a one-page menu site with a WhatsApp order button is enough at first, because a cloud kitchen has no dining room to show. Upgrade to an ordering store when repeat customers are ordering directly every week and the aggregator commission justifies the build.
How many email accounts does a restaurant usually need?
Typically a few: bookings, catering, the owner and the manager of each outlet. Webji Launch includes 10 email accounts, which covers most single-outlet restaurants; Turbo removes the mailbox limit for groups with many staff.
Can I add online ordering to a menu site later?
Yes, if the menu site was built on a platform that supports a cart, such as WordPress with WooCommerce. Ask for that in the first quote so the menu is stored as structured items rather than plain text, which keeps the later upgrade from becoming a rebuild.
