What a restaurant site needs to carry before it is worth publishing. Restaurant website design with TableSpark →
A copied menu listing raises two different property-right tests and a separate, unsettled liability question — confusing them leaves the exposure with you.
A lapsed footer badge needs no proof anyone was fooled — Schedule 20 skips that test, and paragraphs 3 and 4 open a real criminal exposure most advice never mentions.
Registering a company name checks nothing against the trade marks register, and the exposure a rebrand years in can trigger is real, not theoretical.
Heavy restaurant photographs are routinely blamed for the wrong metric, and a fortnight of work is spent against the wrong number. The report that settles it is field data.
Ask one applicant about immigration status and not the others and the exposure flips from a capped civil penalty to tribunal compensation with no upper limit.
A guest wall that lets one diner reply to another can move a restaurant website out of the comment exemption and into a compliance burden nobody costed into the build.
An image-only menu can block text resizing and text-to-speech, leaving guests unable to read key details and restaurants exposed to avoidable service risk.
A new restaurant event can miss the guest journey while an expired one still looks bookable. Use a dated publish, guest-view and expiry check.
Missing entrance, seating, toilet or parking details can make a guest abandon the visit or arrive at a barrier the restaurant could have explained.
A mobile-friendly restaurant website keeps the full menu, hours, location, booking and ordering journey clear on a small screen without creating a second site to maintain.
A practical migration order for an independent UK restaurant: inventory the old URLs, rebuild the menu, booking and ordering paths in TableSpark, map redirects, check canonicals, submit the sitemap, verify the domain and keep a rollback ready.
Put the menu, hours, location, booking and ordering routes first, then add the story, photographs and search-ready structure that turn a visit into a direct guest relationship.
