The Best Restaurant Websites in Florida

A roundup of restaurants with digital presences that capture attention and turn web visitors into diners.

First impressions online matter, especially when it comes to how people decide where to dine. Data shows that 86% of diners complete online research to find new restaurants. Restaurant websites are the second most popular resource for this research — right behind search engines — and 75% of diners say they’re more likely to choose a restaurant with a high-quality website over one with poor quality.

To stand out, you need a hospitality-focused design company that builds custom websites with top-performing SEO, automatic accessibility updates, and local listings you control. That’s where the BentoBox Marketing & Commerce Platform comes in. 

We design restaurant websites with a look and feel that’s totally true to your brand. Online ordering, catering, and e-commerce stores (to sell merch, event tickets, and gift cards) are easy to add and integrate as well. Want to see how that looks in action? We curated some of the best websites of Florida-based restaurants that are BentoBox customers. Check them out below.
