The decision about where to eat tonight is almost always made on the smartphone. Guests search for a restaurant nearby, skim photos of the food, check the opening hours and reserve, if they like it, with a few taps. More than 60 percent of website visits in Germany today come from smartphones (Statcounter) — in hospitality the share is, in our experience, even higher, because many guests decide spontaneously and on the move. In those seconds, a hospitality website must whet the appetite and at the same time deliver practical answers. XICWEB builds websites that achieve exactly that: make people hungry and keep the path to the table as short as possible. Website, visibility and ongoing care all come from a single source — you will find an overview in our services overview.
Anatomy of a hospitality website: six building blocks that convince
What a Hospitality Website Really Has to Deliver
In hospitality, the eye buys in long before the first bite is taken. Large-format, fast-loading images of dishes, the ambiance and the terrace create the desire to drop by. But sheer beauty is not enough: the guest wants to know right away whether you are open today, what is on the menu, whether it is worth calling and whether a table is free. A good hospitality website combines emotion and information without one crowding out the other. Currency is especially important — an outdated menu or wrong opening hours annoy guests more than no website at all, because disappointed expectations quickly lead to negative reviews. We therefore build your site so you can keep the menu, daily specials and opening hours up to date yourself, without technical knowledge, or we handle the upkeep as part of our website care.
Typical Hospitality Requirements We Address
Digital Menu, Always Current
A menu you maintain yourself, with rotating dishes, seasonal offers and prices. Readable on the phone without zooming, with clear labeling of allergens and additives right at each dish.
Table Reservation in a Few Taps
Guests reserve directly on your site, without a call during service. Requests with date, time and party size reach you in a structured form, optionally with automatic email confirmation.
Appetizing Imagery, Optimized for Mobile
Photos of dishes, ambiance and team only work if they load fast. We prepare your images in modern formats so they appear on the phone in seconds and still make people want to visit.
Opening Hours and Closing Days Clearly Visible
Instantly recognizable whether you are open right now, including holidays, vacation periods and kitchen closing. This avoids disappointed guests at a locked door and protects your reviews.
Directions, Parking and Map
Address, one-tap routing, notes on parking and on-site accessibility. Out-of-town guests in particular find their way to you without detours — embedded in a privacy-friendly way, without unnecessary third-party services.
Occasions, Catering and Events
Dedicated sections for celebrations, conferences, catering or event venue use. Anyone planning a larger occasion quickly finds the right information and a form that captures date, party size and occasion right away.
Legal Aspects That Belong Online in Hospitality
Anyone offering food and drink has to inform clearly online as well. Under the EU Food Information Regulation (FIC, Regulation 1169/2011), the 14 most common allergens must be labeled, and in Germany additives must be disclosed under the relevant additive regulation. If you show your menu online, this labeling should be present there just as it is on the premises. We therefore build the menu so that allergens and additives are unambiguous, but without a wall of fine print, at each dish. Added to this are the usual obligations of any website: a complete legal notice, a privacy policy for the reservation and contact form, and a presence that is accessible per the recognized WCAG 2.2 AA — legible menus, sufficient contrast and forms that also work by keyboard. What applies to your specific business we clarify in the initial talk, without promising legal advice that is not ours to give.
Consider Reviews and Profiles Too
How Your Project Works with Us
In a hospitality business, every move is timed, and there is rarely time for long marketing workshops. We therefore keep the effort for you low and take the technology entirely off your hands. The process is clear and predictable, with defined steps and a dedicated contact who knows how hospitality works.
Initial Talk in Your Language
We listen: which cuisine, which audience, what should the site mainly achieve — more reservations, more walk-in trade or more event enquiries? The conversation is free and non-binding, by phone, video or, on request, in person at your venue. At the end there is a clear concept with a binding fixed price.
