🍽️ Restaurant & Cafe Website — Malta
For restaurants, cafes, bistros and takeaways across Valletta, Sliema, St Julian's and Gozo, a website is no longer a PDF menu — it is a reservation and ordering channel integrated with Google Business Profile, TripAdvisor and Revolut. The Maltese market is small but tourist-heavy, and word-of-mouth carries significant weight, so a bilingual (English + Maltese) site with transparent reviews and allergen information directly impacts revenue.
Why Does a Restaurant or Cafe Need a Website?
- GDPR + Cap 586 compliance: Reservation and newsletter forms must follow the Maltese Data Protection Act Cap 586 with IDPC notice and double opt-in.
- Allergen labelling: The Food Safety Commission requires the 14 main allergens to be marked on menus and online.
- TripAdvisor + Google Reviews: Around 70% of locals and tourists decide based on reviews; the site must surface them live.
- Revolut and SEPA: Deposits, prepaid reservations and takeaway need Revolut, Apple Pay, Google Pay and MePay.
- Bilingual EN/MT: Maltese for locals, English for tourists; hreflang tags separate them in search.
- e-Commerce Act transparency: Trading name, VAT number, address and contact must appear in the footer.
Which Pages Should the Site Have?
A solid restaurant-cafe site is built from these pages:
- Home — hero shot, daily specials, reservation CTA
- Menu (allergen icons, EUR pricing)
- Reservations — date, time, party size, notes
- Takeaway & Delivery — Wolt/Bolt Food or own ordering
- Wine List / Drinks — Maltese wines (Marsovin, Delicata)
- About — chef, story, local suppliers
- Events & Private Dining — weddings, corporate
- Gallery — food, ambience, team
- Reviews — TripAdvisor + Google embed
- Contact — map, phone, email, opening hours
- Privacy / Cookie Policy (Cap 586 aligned)
Which Features Are Essential?
- Online reservations: Real-time table availability with deposits to prevent no-shows.
- Allergen filter: Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free filtering.
- QR menu: Table-side digital menu — now a standard post-COVID.
- Revolut Business + Stripe: Multi-method payment with instant settlement.
- Instagram + TripAdvisor feed: Live social proof on the site.
- Google Business Profile sync: Hours, photos and reviews from one panel.
