Restaurant website platforms compared
For restaurant, café and bar owners · prices and features checked on 1 November 2026
A restaurant usually needs the same few things: a good-looking site, the menu with allergens, opening hours, table booking, maybe takeaway orders, its own domain, and all of it in several languages. Some platforms do one of these very well; others do everything for a monthly fee. This page puts Zaags next to the names that come up most often, with what each one is good at.
In one sentence
Zaags is an all-rounder for a small budget: website, menu with allergens, table booking with lunch and dinner services, click & collect with a kitchen screen, an online shop, several languages and your own domain, for €39.99/year (or €59.99/year with no ads), VAT included, with no fee per booking. If you need a till system, delivery drivers or a big marketplace audience, a specialist below will suit you better.

2Platform by platform
General website builders: Wix, Hostinger, Framer, Webflow, 10Web, Durable
- Good at: design freedom (Framer, Webflow), a huge template choice and app store (Wix), a very low first-year price (Hostinger), AI that drafts a site in minutes (all of them).
- Watch for: restaurant features are add-ons or absent. Only Wix has real table reservations and restaurant ordering, and both need a paid plan. Introductory prices often rise at renewal, and most exclude VAT.
- Zaags compared: less design freedom than Framer or Webflow, but the restaurant parts (menu, allergens, lunch and dinner booking, tables by area) are built in and included in one yearly price.
Ordering platforms: UpMenu, Flipdish, GloriaFood
- Good at: takeaway and delivery. Flipdish adds a till (POS), kiosks, a kitchen display and delivery partners; UpMenu sells each piece as a module with no commission.
- Watch for: monthly fees that add up module by module (UpMenu) or a monthly bundle per site (Flipdish). GloriaFood is closing in April 2027.
- Zaags compared: Zaags has click & collect (basket, pickup times with a limit per time, card payment, a kitchen screen and "your order is ready" emails) inside the same yearly price, with a 2% fee per card payment. For delivery with drivers, a till or kiosks, these are stronger.
Booking specialists: Zenchef, TheFork Manager
- Good at: reservations at scale, guest CRM, deposits and payments, and (for TheFork) the audience of a big marketplace.
- Watch for: monthly subscriptions (Zenchef from €129/month, one-year minimum) or commissions on bookings that come through the marketplace (TheFork). The website is an add-on or not offered.
- Zaags compared: no marketplace audience and no guest CRM at that level, but table booking with services, areas and table sizes is included in the website price, with no commission.
Restaurant marketing suites: Popmenu
- Good at: marketing automation, AI phone answering, search visibility; mostly aimed at US restaurants.
- Zaags compared: a fraction of the price for a European independent restaurant, with less marketing automation.
3What Zaags includes
| Website | Built from your Google listing in minutes, at zaags.app/s/your-name, or on your own domain (€49 once) |
| Menu | Dishes with photos and prices, the 14 EU allergens, a PDF menu; import your existing menu from a photo (uses credits) |
| Table booking | Lunch and dinner services, up to 3 seating areas, tables by size, automatic table allocation, email confirmation and reminder, no fee per booking (every setting) |
| Click & collect | Guests add dishes (with their options) to a basket, choose a pickup time and pay by card. You set the preparation time, the time step and how many orders per time. A kitchen screen on a tablet shows orders with a sound; "Ready in N min" and "Ready" email the guest; a Pause button stops new orders. How it works |
| Payments | Stripe: card payments go straight to your own Stripe account and Stripe pays out to your bank. Zaags keeps 2% per payment (min €0.30) on top of Stripe's card fee. No monthly payment fee. |
| Online shop | Products, Stripe checkout straight to your own account, delivery and pickup options you define; 2% Zaags fee on card payments (min €0.30) |
| Languages | Language switch on your site for international guests |
| Also | Reviews, testimonials, gallery, map, opening hours, WhatsApp and call buttons, ready-made legal pages, the Zaags AI workspace for your emails, documents and tasks |
| Price | €39.99/year with small Amazon product suggestions at the bottom of the page, or €59.99/year with no ads, VAT included, 14-day free trial. Optional AI Visibility add-on €99/year. |

4When Zaags is not the right choice
- You need a till (POS), kiosks, delivery drivers or a link with Uber Eats or Deliveroo: look at Flipdish or UpMenu.
- You want guests to pay at the counter when they collect: Zaags click & collect is paid by card when ordering.
- You want bookings from a marketplace audience: TheFork.
- You want a fully custom design built by a web designer: Framer or Webflow.
- You need SMS confirmations or a table plan drawing: Zaags is email-only and allocates tables by size.
