๐ฝ๏ธ Restaurant & Cafe Website โ Malta
For restaurants, cafes, bistros and takeaways across Valletta, Sliema, St Julian's and Gozo, a website is no longer a PDF menu โ 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 โ hero shot, daily specials, reservation CTA
- Menu (allergen icons, EUR pricing)
- Reservations โ date, time, party size, notes
