Website for a Restaurant With Multiple Locations: A Guide

By MarketingToolsProHub Editorial Team  |  Last updated:  |  7 min read

How should a restaurant with multiple locations set up its website?

Use one website with its own page for each location: address, hours, phone, menu, and order and booking buttons for that branch. A location picker sends visitors to the right restaurant, menus share one master list with per-branch changes, and each Google Business Profile links to its own location page.

In brief

How should a website for several restaurant locations be structured?

For most restaurant groups, one website with a page for each location is the right structure. Your brand, story and shared menu live in one place, and each branch gets a page that can rank for searches in its own neighborhood.

Four common ways to structure a multi-location restaurant website, and when each fits.
StructureFits whenWatch out for
One site, one page per location (for example /locations/downtown/)Same brand and mostly the same menu: most groupsEach page needs its own details, not a copied paragraph with the address swapped
One site, a section per location (pages for menu, events and booking under each)Branches with quite different menus, events or private diningMore pages to keep up to date; plan who updates each section
Separate websites per locationDifferent concepts or names that only share an ownerTwice the upkeep, and each site builds its search presence on its own
One "Locations" page listing every branchOnly as an index that links to the location pagesOn its own, it gives Google little to show for "near me" searches in each area

We build sites like this on our restaurant website design service, with a location page template you can copy when you open the next branch.

What should each location page include?

Treat each location page as that restaurant's home page. Copy this checklist for every branch:

  • A clear heading with the brand and the neighborhood or city ("Brand Name, Downtown").
  • Address, map and directions, including parking, public transport and the entrance if it's hard to find.
  • A tap-to-call phone number for that branch, not a central line.
  • Opening hours and holiday hours, the same as that branch's Google Business Profile.
  • That location's menu as a web page (not a PDF), showing only dishes and prices available there.
  • Order and booking buttons that go straight to that branch's ordering or reservations, not a generic page.
  • Photos of that dining room, its team or its patio, so the page is genuinely different from the others.
  • Branch extras: private dining, events, accessibility details or kids' menus that only some locations offer.
  • Structured data: Google asks you to define each location as its own LocalBusiness, using the most specific type such as Restaurant.

Our restaurant local SEO guide covers the search side of these pages in more depth, and our restaurant website checklist covers everything else a restaurant site needs.

How do customers choose the right location?

  1. A few locations: show them as cards on the home page and in the menu, each with its neighborhood, hours today and "Order" and "Book" buttons.
  2. Many locations: add a finder that searches by city or zip code (postcode outside the US), with a "use my location" option on phones.
  3. Remember the choice and show it in the header ("Ordering from: Downtown, change"), so returning customers skip the step.
  4. Ask before the cart, not after: a customer who builds an order and then finds the dish isn't sold at their branch rarely finishes.
  5. Route delivery by address: when a customer enters a delivery address, the order should go to the branch that serves that area.

How should online ordering and reservations work across locations?

Each branch needs its own ordering menu, opening hours, delivery zone and reservations calendar, all reached from its own location page. Check how a tool charges for extra locations before you choose it.

Worked example: three locations on Square Online Plus cost 3 × $49 = $147 a month before card fees, using Square's per-location price. A tool priced per account rather than per location can work out cheaper as you grow, so compare at your planned number of branches.

For reservations, give each branch its own booking widget or account, so tables, hours and party sizes are correct for that dining room.

How do you set up Google for each restaurant location?

What are common mistakes on multi-location restaurant websites?

  • Location pages that are copies of each other with only the address changed.
  • One phone number and one "Book a table" button for every branch.
  • Menus that show dishes or prices a branch doesn't offer.
  • Closed or moved locations still live, with old hours on the site and on Google.
  • Choosing the location only at checkout, after the customer has built an order.
  • Separate websites per branch that drift apart in design and information over time.

What does a multi-location restaurant website cost?

With us, a restaurant group website with location pages and your existing ordering and booking tools connected starts at $5,000 (Custom Business Website). With an ordering or booking system built in, it's our Website + Booking System from $7,500; larger groups that need shared menus with per-location changes and several integrations usually fit our Custom Digital System, from $10,000+. You get a fixed written quote after a free discovery call, it typically takes around 2 months, and you own the website and domain once paid.

These are approximate figures based on published pricing and industry reports at the time of writing. Your actual cost depends on your scope and will be confirmed after a free discovery call with us.

Our guide to restaurant website costs compares builders, restaurant platforms and custom builds over three years. See it in action: our demo restaurant website (a demo, not a client project) shows a "Finding us" block with address, hours and map on a phone, the block you'd repeat on each location page.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Each location page shows its own hours and holiday hours, and they should match that branch's Google Business Profile.

Something short and stable, such as /locations/downtown/. Avoid changing it later, because links and Google profiles point to it.

Use a location page template: copy it, fill in the address, hours, menu changes and photos, and add the branch to the picker and Google.

Say clearly that it has closed, point visitors to the nearest branch, or redirect the page there, and mark the Google profile as closed.

That's your decision, but say clearly on the gift card page which locations accept them, and train staff at each branch.

Often. Check your franchise agreement for who controls the website, location pages and Google profiles before you change anything.

Only if each branch has someone to post regularly. Otherwise one brand account that tags locations is easier to keep active.

Summary

A restaurant with several locations needs one website with a real page for each branch, a location picker, one master menu with per-branch changes, and ordering and bookings routed to the right kitchen. Link each Google Business Profile to its own page, and compare how tools such as Square Online charge as you add locations.
