Unlike agencies charging $5,000–$10,000+ for generic restaurant WordPress sites, Thrive delivers a custom-built, mobile-first restaurant site you own outright.

Business Owner Built around your buyer ## What your restaurant website must include Every Thrive Media restaurant build comes with the conversion architecture this industry actually needs — not a generic template. ### Online Ordering Integration Toast, DoorDash, Uber Eats, ChowNow — connected to your menu so off-premise revenue runs on autopilot. ### Reservation System OpenTable, Resy, or Yelp Reservations integrated above the fold — the highest-converting element on a restaurant site. ### Digital Menu with Photography Beautifully laid-out menu with high-quality food photography — diners decide what they want before they walk in. ### Event & Private Dining Booking Dedicated landing page for buyouts, private dining, and event inquiries — high-AOV bookings that most restaurants under-market. ### Gift Card Sales Integrated gift card purchase flow — a meaningful revenue stream most restaurant sites ignore. ### Happy Hour & Specials Promo Rotating happy hour and weekly specials block — drives mid-week covers when your dining room needs them most. ### Hours & Location Prominent Hours, address, and tap-to-call phone visible on every page — the single most-clicked element on a restaurant site. ### Allergy / Dietary Filtering Vegan, gluten-free, and allergen filters on the menu — captures the diner who would have gone elsewhere. AI add-on ## Add AI automation to your restaurant website build Most restaurant businesses lose leads because nobody follows up fast enough. Our AI agents respond in under 60 seconds — 24/7. ### Reservation Inquiry Response AI answers "Do you have a table for 6 Saturday at 8?" instantly and books it — no phone tag, no missed covers. ### "Are You Open?" FAQ Handling Hours, holiday closures, kid-friendly, parking, dietary — AI handles the 80% of incoming calls that aren't actually a reservation. ### Event & Catering Inquiry Automation AI qualifies private dining and catering leads with the right questions and routes hot ones to your events manager.
