Websites for Salons and Restaurants in Ireland
What a hair salon, beauty salon, restaurant or café website needs to win bookings in Ireland: online booking, real menus with allergens, prices, galleries, gift vouchers and what it costs.
Short answer: salon and restaurant websites win when someone on a phone can see what you offer, what it costs and when you're open, then book or order in a couple of taps. Everything else supports those few seconds.
What your customers are actually searching for
These searches are about the treatment or the meal, the place and the time:
- "hairdresser near me", "barber" plus their town, "balayage" or "skin fade"
- "BIAB nails near me", "lash extensions" and "spray tan" plus their town
- "restaurant near me", "brunch", "Sunday lunch" and "takeaway open now"
- "group booking restaurant" and "private dining" for parties
- "gift vouchers" plus the salon or restaurant name before Christmas and Mother's Day
What salons and beauty salons need
Booking is everything. Make it impossible to miss and quick to finish:
- A Book Now button on every page, connected to Phorest, Fresha, Booksy, Treatwell or whatever you use
- A clear price list with durations
- A page per main treatment for beauty salons: nails, lashes and brows, waxing, tanning, facials
- A gallery of your own recent work and short team profiles
- Patch test, hygiene and qualification details for beauty treatments
What restaurants, cafés and pubs need
Most visitors want three things: the menu, the hours and directions:
- A real menu page, not a PDF, with allergens clearly marked
- Opening hours that match your Google profile, including bank holidays
- Table booking, takeaway and delivery links such as Just Eat or Deliveroo
- A groups and events page if you take parties or private dining
- Good photos of the food and the room
Gift vouchers
Vouchers bring in money in your quietest weeks and new customers later. Give them their own page, feature it on the homepage in the run-up to Christmas, Mother's Day and Valentine's, and let people buy online through your booking or ordering system if it supports it.
Google Business Profile
For salons and restaurants, Google Maps is where most people find you. Keep your profile's hours, photos, menu link and booking link up to date and matching your website, and reply to reviews. A website that matches the profile helps both rank better.
