Services · Website development · Restaurant websites
Codeeo handles restaurant website development in the USA for multi-unit groups, franchise systems, emerging chains and independents planning their next markets. We build brand sites with a location finder, per-location pages, menus that vary by market, franchise and catering enquiry paths, and the compliance groundwork that changes from state to state, so every location shows accurate information and the brand stays consistent from one city to the next.
A national restaurant website is really dozens of local websites sharing one brand. Menus, hours, prices, fee rules and privacy duties shift across state lines, and the site has to carry those differences without becoming a maintenance burden for your marketing team.

Platform capabilities
National restaurant brands rarely struggle with the homepage. They struggle with the hundreds of small facts underneath it: holiday hours for a location in Ohio, a regional menu item in Texas, a service charge line required in California, a franchisee who changed their phone number without telling anyone. Our restaurant website design for the USA treats location data as the core of the platform. We build a structured location database feeding every page, map listing feed and schema block, and give each role the right editing rights: brand marketing controls design and master menus, regional managers adjust local items, and franchisees update hours and contacts within limits. Everything is planned around federal rules that apply everywhere and state rules that apply only where you operate. The result is a site that scales with each new opening rather than slowing down as you grow.
A searchable finder by city, ZIP code or current location, fed by one location database holding hours, holiday exceptions, services, amenities and links. The same data feeds structured markup and listing tools, so changes happen once.
Every location page and listing stays in sync.
A master menu with regional overrides for items, availability and pricing, plus tags for dietary needs and allergens. Chains with twenty or more locations can show the calorie information that FDA menu labeling rules require on menus, including online menus guests use to choose.
Local variation without duplicating whole menus.
Per-state settings for fee and service charge disclosure, allergen notes and privacy text. California, for example, requires mandatory restaurant charges to be disclosed clearly on menus. Rules live in configuration, so a new state is a settings change, not new code.
Compliance text appears exactly where each state needs it.
A franchise section explaining the model, target markets and the inquiry process, with a qualification form that routes leads to your development team or CRM. Disclosure documents stay offline and are shared only through your formal process.
Prospective franchisees arrive pre-qualified.
CMS permissions that let local operators edit their own hours, photos and events while brand assets, master menus and legal text stay locked to headquarters, with an approval queue where needed. Every change is logged.
Local accuracy without brand drift.
A national catering page with local menus, lead times and delivery coverage per location, and a request form that routes each enquiry to the nearest store or a central catering team.
Large orders reach the location that can fulfill them.
Privacy notices, opt-out handling and consent tooling designed for the growing list of state privacy laws, including California's CCPA and CPRA, the Texas TDPSA and others, plus recognition of Global Privacy Control signals where the law requires it.
One privacy setup covering every state you serve.
Email and text signup forms with clear consent language suited to the TCPA for text marketing, and age screening on any kids' club or birthday offer, since collecting data from children under thirteen brings COPPA duties.
A growing marketing list collected on solid ground.
Gift card and merchandise sales run through your existing provider, linked from the site and kept on hosted payment pages so your PCI DSS scope stays small. If you ship sauces or merchandise across states, economic nexus rules after the Wayfair decision affect sales tax, and we plan the provider setup with that in mind.
Payments stay with a specialist provider, not your web server.
A design system and component library tested against WCAG 2.2 AA, so every new location page inherits accessible menus, forms and finder controls. Restaurant chains are frequent targets of ADA website claims, so we document testing and retest when components change.
Accessibility holds as the site grows.
Who this is for
National restaurant sites fail in different ways depending on how the business grew. A franchisor may have strong brand pages and chaotic location data; a group that grew by acquisition may run five different sites on five platforms; an independent heading into a second state may not yet know which rules will change. We start by mapping your locations, ownership model, systems and the markets you plan to enter, then decide what the platform must handle in its first phase and what follows later. Many brands recognize parts of themselves in more than one of these.
You need one brand site where hundreds of locations stay accurate, franchise development leads flow cleanly, and franchisees can edit only what they should. We build the location hub, permission model and franchise funnel, and connect location data to your listing management tool so hours and phones update everywhere from one change. Franchise development pages are tracked separately so your development team can see which markets attract the most serious inquiries.
Location data quality is the first fix.
Several concepts, several old sites, several platforms. We plan a shared design system and CMS that lets each brand keep its own identity while sharing components, hosting, privacy setup and analytics. Old URLs are mapped and redirected brand by brand so search visibility built over years is not thrown away during consolidation. Shared analytics then let you compare brands on the same measures for the first time.
Your first restaurant site was built for one city. Opening across a state line brings a new privacy regime, perhaps different fee rules and a menu that varies by location. We restructure the site around locations, add state configuration for disclosures, and make sure the next opening after this one is a content task. We also review your listings and map data in the new state before launch.
Plan for the third location while building for the second.
Catering can rival dine-in revenue for some brands, but national catering pages often send every lead to a single inbox. We build per-location catering menus, coverage and routing, connect requests to your CRM, and track which markets and pages produce the strongest orders. Lead times and minimum orders can differ by location without duplicating the catering menu.
How we work together
Our team of 80+ works with US restaurant brands remotely, with workshops, design reviews and editor training run by video call. National projects usually start with a fixed-scope first phase covering the platform, design system and pilot markets. Rollout then continues as a second fixed phase or on a monthly retainer, depending on how quickly you open locations. Larger groups often keep a dedicated team for ongoing menu launches, new concepts and campaign pages, working from the same shared codebase and documentation. Scope, responsibilities and handover terms are always written down before work starts.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We usually recommend a headless CMS with Next.js for national brands, since structured location and menu data serve many pages and channels. WordPress multisite suits some groups. Hosting runs on a global content delivery network with integrations for POS, ordering, reservations, listings and CRM platforms. Everything is documented for your own team.

A location data platform, a design system and state-aware compliance.
Beyond design, the work is mostly structure: a location database, menu rules by market, editing roles for headquarters and local operators, and configuration for state disclosure and privacy requirements. We connect listings, reservations, ordering links and CRM routing, then roll out in phases starting with pilot markets. The aim is a site where adding a location is quick, accurate and does not require a developer. We also agree early which systems remain the source of truth for menus, prices and hours, because conflicting sources are the most common reason national sites drift out of date.
