AEL TECHIs there a table tonight
The booking has to be one tap: dial the number, add the LINE account, or fill a short form with no login. Anything deeper and they call the next place.

RestaurantsRestaurant websites: the menu and the booking, before anything else
AEL TECH builds restaurant websites that answer the three questions a customer has on the phone: what is on the menu, how do I book, how do I get there. No build fee, from NT$399 a month, from NT$1,499 if you want to manage bookings and the menu yourself. Live in two to three weeks.
Already have a site? The free website check tells you what a customer sees when they search your name.

01 / What diners look for
What a customer checks before walking in
Almost all of it happens on a phone, in the few minutes while they decide whether to leave the house.
The menu and the prices
Menus often live only in social posts. Without full prices, nobody invites four friends. The menu page is the most visited page on a restaurant site.
Getting there and parking
Address, map link, nearest metro exit and where to park. Out-of-town and driving customers care most.
Hours and last orders
Whether you open on a public holiday and when the kitchen closes are the two questions your messages repeat all week.
Private events
Group dinners, birthdays and year-end parties start with table capacity, buyout terms and minimum spend.
Takeaway and delivery
Whether collection is cheaper, which delivery platforms carry you, or how to order over LINE.
02 / What the site needs
What belongs on a restaurant website
Each of these sends a customer elsewhere when a phone cannot find it.
- A full menu page with prices and portions, not screenshots of social posts
- The booking entry in the first screen: tap to call, tap to add on LINE
- Address, Google Maps link, nearest station and parking notes
- Opening hours, last orders and closing days, with public holidays called out
- Signature dishes and room photos, sized to load fast on mobile data
- Seating, maximum party size and minimum spend
- Takeaway and delivery links
- Restaurant and Menu structured data so Google reads the cuisine, price range and hours
- One version of the phone number, address and hours, matching the Google Business Profile
- An English or Japanese menu page where tourists are a real share of covers
03 / Common mistakes
Five mistakes we see most often
None of these are design problems. Each one loses a real customer.
The menu as one image
Google cannot read text inside a picture and nobody can zoom in to check a price. Lay the menu out as text and let photos support it.
The booking buried at the bottom
Three screens of scrolling before the phone number appears, and the page is already closed. The booking belongs in the first screen.
Hours that disagree
The site says ten, the Google profile says nine. The customer believes whichever they saw and arrives to a closed door.
Photos straight off the phone
An uncompressed photo runs three or four megabytes. On mobile data that is a ten-second wait, and the customer leaves first.
No tracking on bookings
Without knowing which page sends the booking, you cannot tell which content works. Basic analytics goes in at launch.
04 / Which plan fits
What restaurants usually choose
A single location is fine on the standard site. The admin plan is for menus that change often and bookings you take yourself.

05 / Search setup
Search work done at launch
Set up once while the site is built, at no extra cost.

- Restaurant and Menu structured data for the menu, price range and hours
- Stable URLs and a sitemap: menu, bookings, directions and each location on their own page
- Google Search Console submission, checked page by page after launch
- Website details aligned with the Google Business Profile, so hours never disagree
- Internal links from the menu to bookings and directions, with no detour through the homepage
06 / Launch
Two to three weeks from the first call
The menu and the photos take the time. We handle the rest.
- 01
Talk it through
LINE or a video call to confirm who you serve, how bookings arrive and what format the menu is in.
- 02
Menu and photos
PDF, a spreadsheet or phone snapshots all work. We turn them into a page Google can read.
- 03
First version
You see the homepage, the menu and the booking flow before we build the detail.
- 04
Launch and upkeep
Search setup, Google Business Profile aligned, then monthly maintenance and small edits.

08 / FAQ
What restaurant owners ask first
Not sure it is worth it yet?
Chat on LINESend the restaurant name and your social links. The free website check shows what a customer sees when they search for you.
We have Facebook and Instagram. Do we need a website?
Social is good for new dishes and events, but a customer searching your name sees your website and your Google Business Profile. A menu, a booking option and opening hours on your own site do not disappear when a platform changes its rules.
Does changing prices cost extra?
On the standard plan we maintain the content, so price changes and seasonal menus are part of the monthly maintenance. Choose the admin plan if you want to publish them yourself at any hour.
Can the site take bookings?
Yes. The simplest version is a form with a LINE notification. Blocking out full slots, sending confirmations automatically or connecting an existing booking system belongs to the admin plan or a custom build.
Do we need photography first?
Existing photos are fastest. Otherwise we lay the pages out with what you shoot on a phone and swap in finished photography later without rebuilding anything.
How long until Google shows us?
We submit the site at launch and it usually appears within days to a few weeks. A search for your name is also driven by your Google Business Profile, so we align both.
We have three branches. Separate sites?
If the menus are close, one page listing all three is enough. When menus, prices or customers differ a lot, each location gets its own URL, which is a custom build.
Can we edit it ourselves?
On the standard plan you message us and we make the change. To edit the menu and notices yourself at any hour, take the admin plan and we train you on it.
Do we buy the domain?
Buy it yourself, in your own name, so changing supplier later costs nothing. If you have none, we help register and configure it.
