Restaurant website builders in the UK, compared plan by plan (2026)
By Arslan Munir
Updated 13 Nov 2026. A restaurant website builder is software that makes a restaurant site from your menu without a developer. They differ in what the cheapest plan includes: some give you a menu site and charge more for bookings or ordering. This page lines up what each builder publishes, from its own pages read on 12 November 2026. Chefzi makes one of them, so every row is sourced and dated.

The short answer
- If the website must take orders, pick a builder that includes ordering on its entry plan. On the published prices read 12 November 2026: Chefzi from £9 a month billed annually (£12 monthly), Aexir Web £30, My Orders £30 (plus £100 one-off for the tablet and printer), Flipdish Website from £49 billed annually (£69 monthly). Square for Restaurants has a £0 plan with card processing extra.
- Menu-first builders charge more for ordering. TableSpark is £19 for a menu site and £39 with bookings, and online ordering is on its £69 Full plan.
- Check the fee on each order, not only the plan. Card processing applies everywhere; Chefzi takes 0% commission and adds no per-order fee.
- Chefzi is a builder for ordering, not a design agency. For a bespoke design, use an agency and add Chefzi ordering with the embed widget.

What stands out
- Ordering usually costs more on builders that started as menu sites. TableSpark's online ordering is on its £69 Full plan; a menu and live site is £19 and bookings £39.
- Ordering-first platforms include it from the cheapest plan. Chefzi, Aexir, Flipdish, My Orders and Square for Restaurants all list ordering on their entry plans, with the website as part of the product.
- Free is not fee-free. Square's free plan and Storekit's free Starter are £0 a month but have card processing and, for Storekit, a flat per-order rate. Check the total, not the plan price.
- Currencies can mislead. Menuthere and Squarespace showed US-dollar prices when we read them from our server. Check the UK price on their site before you decide.
Wix, Squarespace and Hostinger
These are general builders rather than restaurant ordering platforms. Their pricing pages showed US-dollar plans when we read them, so we have not put a UK price in the table. If you already have one, you can keep it and add ordering: see adding online ordering to Wix or Squarespace.
Compare it on your own menu. Chefzi is from £12 a month (£9 billed yearly) per location, ex VAT, with 24/7 support. Start free · WhatsApp · 020 3411 8110
Where Chefzi fits
Chefzi's website is part of an ordering system: it is built from your menu, logo and photos, takes collection, delivery and QR table orders, and runs on your own domain. It is the better fit for a takeaway or restaurant that mainly wants direct orders at a low flat price. TableSpark is the better fit if bookings with deposits and floor plans are the main job. Chefzi is not a design agency: for a bespoke design, use an agency and add Chefzi ordering with the embed widget. See Chefzi's restaurant website builder, website for restaurants and the shortlist guide to the best website for restaurants.
Questions to ask any builder
- Does the plan I need include online ordering, or is that a higher tier?
- Do I pay commission or a per-order fee, or only card processing?
- Who owns the domain, and can I take it with me?
- Can I edit prices and hours myself, any time?
- What happens to my menu and customer data if I cancel?
