How can a complete restaurant website cost only €1,800?

€1,800 plus VAT is the fixed price for design, copy and build, with no hourly billing. It works because all our websites run on the same proven technology: we don’t program from scratch every time, we design colours, fonts, layout and content for your business. On top come €30 a month for hosting and maintenance and from €24 a month for domain management. The domain only costs more for special endings such as .restaurant or .wien.

I spend all day in the kitchen. How much of my time will this take?

Very little. We take care of design, copy, hosting, domain and updates. All we need from you is the menu, a few photos and your opening hours. We sort out any questions in short calls or by email, at times that suit your business, and without jargon.

What happens if I don’t like the preview?

Nothing. The preview costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. Only if you like it do you receive an offer. We are happy to talk through any changes first.

When will my website be live?

You have the link to your free preview within 3 days. If you like it, we send you an offer. Once it is paid, your website usually goes live within 3 days. If an opening or the start of the season is coming up, tell us the date and we plan around it.

Can I cancel add-ons monthly?

Yes. You can cancel monthly add-ons at any time at the end of the month, for example when the season is over. Hosting & maintenance and domain management have a minimum term, which you see in the offer up front. After that they can be cancelled monthly too. If you switch providers, we help with the move.

Do I own the website?

Your content belongs to you: texts, photos, menu and domain. If you want to switch, you take everything with you. So you don’t stay because you have to, but because the service is right.

I have no time to write copy. Will you write it?

Yes. A few notes on your cuisine, venue and team are enough. We turn them into copy that makes people want to visit, and you check it calmly before launch.

What about the legal notice, allergens and GDPR?

Technically everything is ready: no tracking, no advertising cookies, maps only load after consent. On the menu you can list the 14 major allergens of EU food law for every dish, with the details set out in Austria by the Allergeninformationsverordnung and in Germany by the LMIDV. We build in the legal notice and privacy policy. The content comes from you or your legal adviser, because only you know your trade licence, company register details and processes.

Before you decide

Most questions are about money and time: what does it really cost, how long does it take, how much do I have to do? In short: there’s a fixed price, the preview is free, and your part is limited to a few keywords, photos and feedback.

Not sure a website is worth it alongside your Google profile and Instagram? On platforms, someone else makes the rules. On your own website you decide what guests see first, and you pay no commission on bookings or orders that come straight to you.

Every business website in Austria and Germany needs an Impressum, a legal notice naming who runs the site: in Austria under § 5 ECG and the Mediengesetz, in Germany under § 5 DDG. You or your legal adviser provide the content, and we put it in place properly. On the technical side, the website is built with privacy in mind: no tracking, and maps that only load after consent.

For food, allergen information is required under the EU Food Information Regulation (LMIV). On the website we show the allergens right next to each dish. The details come from you, because only your kitchen knows what goes into which dish.

After launch

Once the website is live, we take care of hosting, updates and backups. You reach us by phone or email whenever something needs changing. With the CMS you edit the menu and opening hours yourself.

The content belongs to you. If you ever move to another provider, you take your copy, photos and domain with you, and we help with the move.

Quick answers

More questions

Do I really need a website if I have Google and Instagram?

Yes, if you want to control what guests see. Platform profiles matter, but others decide how you’re shown and what the rules are. Your website brings menu, booking and contact together in one place that belongs to you.

Which businesses is Meine-Gastro-Website for?

Restaurants, traditional inns, cafés, bakeries, takeaways and food trucks, bars, clubs, Heurige (wine taverns), hotels and guesthouses, and caterers in Austria and Germany.

Do you write the Impressum?

No. You or your legal adviser provide the content of the Impressum and privacy policy. We add them and make sure they can be reached from every page.

Can I show several locations on one website?

Yes. Each branch or location gets its own opening hours, address and directions. We agree on the scope in the quote.

What happens during a holiday closure or a private event?

A notice banner tells guests, and the opening status takes the changed hours into account. With the CMS you set the notice yourself; otherwise a message to us is all it takes.

Is the website accessible?

It is built to WCAG AA and tested automatically. If you want an ongoing test report, add the accessibility check for €24 a month.

How do I reach you if something goes wrong?

By phone Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm, or by email at any time. Technical support is based in Vienna.
