AI Prompts for Restaurant Websites

Prompts for restaurant, cafe and bar websites: menu descriptions, the story behind the food, private events and replies to reviews.

6 promptsIndustry cautions included

What this kind of site needs

Restaurant websites are visited by people deciding where to eat in the next hour or planning a special evening. They want the menu, opening hours, location, how to book and a feel for the place, quickly and on a phone. Long marketing paragraphs get skipped. AI is most useful here for menu descriptions, short atmospheric copy and the repetitive writing restaurants do constantly: events, specials and review replies.

  • A current menu as real text, not only a photo or PDF, so it reads well on phones and can be found in search.
  • Opening hours, address and a map link near the top of the page.
  • A clear way to book, order or call.
  • Allergen and dietary information that is accurate and kept up to date.

Be careful with

Be careful with menu claims. Descriptions such as "gluten-free", "vegan" or "locally sourced" must be true, and allergen information has legal requirements in many places. Never let an AI assistant add or infer allergen or dietary information. Write those details yourself from your recipes and suppliers, and keep them updated when dishes change.

This is general information, not legal advice. Rules differ by place and profession.

Frequently asked questions

Should my menu be a PDF?

A PDF can be offered as a download, but the main menu should be text on a web page. Text menus are easier to read on phones and can be understood by search engines.

Can AI write allergen information?

No. Allergen and dietary information must come from your actual recipes and suppliers and be checked by you. Never rely on AI to infer it.
