A BBQ restaurant’s website is priced by how much of the business it needs to carry: a menu and hours, or a menu plus a catering side that sells trays and events. The catering side is usually where the website earns its keep.
The price at a glance
Most BBQ restaurants fit Launch Website: $399 one-time for up to 5 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical BBQ restaurant site covers Home with the signature plate, Menu with portions and trays, Catering and events, Hours and sell-out notes and Story and smoke.
What changes the price for a BBQ restaurant
- ✓Menu structure — separating meats by the pound, plates, sides and tray sizes takes more care than a standard restaurant menu
- ✓Catering and event details — tray sizes, lead times and party packages need clear wording and a request form
- ✓Sell-out and hours notes — honest notes about when the pit runs out and how hours shift add content that must stay current
- ✓Photography — pit, plate and portion shots take more arrangement the more dishes and settings you show
What keeps you in the smaller plan
A single-location smokehouse with a short menu, catering information and hours can stay in the lighter package. Keep the menu to your main meats, sides and tray sizes. Put catering on one page with lead times and a request form, and skip a long story section.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓Online ordering tool — if you take pre-orders through a separate system, its plan and fees are set by that provider
- ✓Payment processing — catering deposits run through your processor, such as Square, with its own rates
- ✓Food photography — pit and plate photos are worth doing in good light
- ✓Domain and email — a business address for catering inquiries looks more professional
When it makes sense to step up
Step up when you run multiple locations, a food truck alongside a restaurant, regular events or online pre-orders by the pound. A large catering program with tiered packages or a shipping side calls for more pages. If catering inquiries keep arriving without key details, a fuller page with options helps.
