Best Framer templates for restaurants

A restaurant site has three jobs: show what it feels like, show what is on the menu, and get a booking. Everything else is extra.

Staff need to change a dish without calling a designer. If the menu is a PDF and the booking button mails the owner, the template is not finished.

What a restaurant site actually needs

  1. The menu on its own page, with prices, editable as plain text.
  2. Hours and address on the first screen.
  3. Reservations that go somewhere real. OpenTable, Resy, a phone number.
  4. Photographs of this room, not stock pasta.
  5. Private dining only if you take buyouts.

The pick: Late August

Late August is the getsites template for fine dining rooms, chef-led kitchens, bistros and tasting menus.

The site runs on service time. You scroll through one night, from mise en place to last cover. Sections sit at their real hours, 4:00 prep through 11:00 last cover. The page darkens as the night goes on because time passes, not for decoration.

Fourteen responsive pages: home, full menu, reservations, private dining and events, chef and kitchen, journal, contact. Headings, dishes, prices, hours and photographs are editable on the Framer canvas.

  • For: restaurants that run a service, not delivery-only
  • Price: $49
  • Licence: one licence, no tiers, unlimited sites, client work included

How to go live from Late August

  1. Buy. Remix into Framer.
  2. Put tonight's menu and prices on the menu page.
  3. Set hours, address and the reservation link you already use.
  4. Replace photographs with this room and this pass.
  5. Connect the domain and publish.

If Late August is not the shape you want

The Aubrey is the getsites hospitality template with a stay or members-club tone rather than a service night. There is also the restaurants and bars collection.

On the Marketplace, open restaurant templates and ask: can I edit a dish price without a CMS you have not been shown, is there a real reservations page or only a form, does it still look like a restaurant with the hero video taken out. Two honest alternatives, neither ours:

  • Qitchen: a clean free template for restaurants, bars and cafes. A fine starting point; check the menu edits as plain text and the reservation goes somewhere real.
  • Roma: a fuller restaurant template with a reservation system and blog, around $99. Confirm you can change a dish price without opening a CMS you have not been shown.

Cost of a live Framer site

Template once ($49). Domain about $10 a year. A Framer site plan monthly, which includes hosting. Detail in how much a Framer website costs.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Editing is clicking the text and typing on the Framer canvas.

Can the front of house change the menu?

Yes, if they can click text on a page. Show one person once.

Is this for cafes too?

It is built as a restaurant service. A cafe usually needs a shorter site. See the restaurants and bars collection.
