Hospitality websites for peopledeciding where to eat right now.
C4 Studios builds websites for Perth cafes, restaurants, bars and caterers. The audience is someone hungry, on a phone, deciding in the next ninety seconds — so the site’s job is menu, hours, location and booking, beautifully and instantly. Sites from $800 for the essentials, $1,500 with the full conversion structure.
What loses a hungry customer?
The PDF menu
A 4MB scan that loads sideways, needs pinch-zooming, and was photographed under a heat lamp. The single most common hospitality website crime.
Mystery hours
Google says open, the door says closed, the website says nothing. Every mismatch costs trust and a one-star review.
No booking path
If reserving a table takes a phone call during service, the table goes to whoever has a button.
Stock-photo food
People can tell it’s not your eggs. Real photography is the difference between scrolling past and walking in.
Why is the menu page so neglected?
Your menu is the most-visited page you’ve put the least effort into. It gets opened before every first visit, before most repeat visits, and by everyone deciding between you and the place two doors down — and the industry standard is still a PDF scan that fights the phone it’s read on.
We build menus as fast, structured pages: readable in one thumb-scroll, searchable by Google, updated by your staff in minutes when the kitchen changes something. Prices included, because hiding them reads as expensive and costs you the exact customers who would have come.
What earns its keep in hospitality
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Structured menu pages | Loads instantly, reads on a phone, ranks for “breakfast near me” searches a PDF never will. |
| Hours synced with Google | One source of truth across site, Maps and socials — including public holidays. |
| Booking integration | Whatever system you run, wired in so tables book at 9pm without a phone call. |
| Function and catering enquiries | The high-margin work, captured with a form that asks the right questions. |
| Real photography | Your food, your room, your people — through C4 Lens, shot in a morning before service. |
| Reviews surfaced | The rating doing its work on your own site, not just on Google. |
Does a cafe need branding too?
Hospitality is the most brand-rewarded industry we serve — people photograph the cup, the signage, the menu card. If the identity is strong, every customer post is free advertising that looks deliberate. Brand essentials at $1,200 covers logo, palette, type and the templates your socials run on, and pairing it with the website build is cheaper than doing either twice.
What does a hospitality website cost?
Plenty of cafes genuinely only need the $800 tier — menu, hours, location, Instagram link. Booking integration adds from $400, and a food-and-room shoot through C4 Lens from $650 is the upgrade customers actually notice.
The services behind it
Common questions
Often just $800: menu, hours, location and contact, done fast and properly. Venues with bookings, functions and events land at $1,500. Add real photography from $650 — in hospitality it converts harder than any feature.
Yes — menu items, prices and specials are editable without touching code, in less time than re-exporting a PDF. When the kitchen eighty-sixes a dish or prices move, the site keeps up the same day.
Instagram is your shopfront window; the website is where decisions finish. “Menu in bio” leads somewhere you don’t control, can’t structure for Google, and loses the customers who aren’t on the platform. The two work best pointed at each other.
Whatever you run — we integrate the booking flow you already pay for so tables reserve straight from the site. If you’re phone-only today, even a simple booking-request form recovers the after-hours tables you’re currently losing.
Through C4 Lens, yes — food, room and team in a single morning shoot before service, from $650 with 30 edited images. It’s the line item with the most visible before-and-after on any hospitality site we build.
