Credit Clikiti with a link.* For small agencies and freelancers who sell websites to independent restaurants, cafés and bars. We scanned 180 of their websites: 0% score under 60 out of 100, and 74% leave at least three of the questions diners ask unanswered. Here is where the winnable work is, which problems to lead a pitch with, and how to show them without days of spec design. Clikiti scanned 180 independent restaurant, café and bar websites in October 2026 and checked each one against 12 checks: 8 questions diners ask before choosing, plus accessibility and speed checks tied to WCAG 2.2 and Core Web Vitals. ## Key findings - Only 29% of the 180 independent restaurant, café and bar websites we scanned mark allergens or vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes. - A typical site answers four of the eight questions diners ask before choosing (mean 4). - The median overall score is 78 out of 100 (mean 78). - The least-answered questions are "Can I eat here with my allergy or diet?" (29%), "What will it cost?" (34%) and "Can I get a table without calling?" (37%). - The best-answered are "Are you open tonight?" (77%) and "Where are you, and where do I park?" (71%). - Cafés and bakeries have the highest median score (81), against 79 for bars and brewpubs, 78 for casual and family restaurants and 77 for chef-driven and fine dining. - 84% fail "Restaurant, café or bar structured data" (Schema.org · FoodEstablishment). - 64% fail "Text contrast passes 4.5:1" (WCAG 1.4.3). - 26% fail "Loads in under 2.5 s on a phone" (Core Web Vitals · LCP). - Chef-driven places book online more often than cafés. ## The questions diners ask Share of the 180 sites that answer each question on the home page or a page it links to, least answered first. | Question | What we checked | Sites that answer | |---|---|---:| | Can I eat here with my allergy or diet? | Allergens or vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes marked | 29% | | What will it cost? | Prices shown on the menu | 34% | | Can I get a table without calling? | Book a table online, or a clear walk-ins-only note | 37% | | Can I order from you directly? | Order pickup or delivery directly, not only through an app | 43% | | Can I read the menu on my phone? | The menu is real text, not a PDF or a photo | 49% | | Can we book you for a party? | Private events, buyouts or catering described | 59% | | Where are you, and where do I park? | Street address with a map link, directions or parking | 71% | | Are you open tonight? | Opening hours shown on the site | 77% | ## By type of site | Type | Sites | Median score (0 to 100) | |---|---:|---:| | Casual and family restaurants | 42 | 78 | | Chef-driven and fine dining | 48 | 77 | | Cafés and bakeries | 45 | 81 | | Bars and brewpubs | 45 | 79 | ## Accessibility and speed | Check | Standard | Sites that fail | |---|---|---:| | Restaurant, café or bar structured data | Schema.org · FoodEstablishment | 84% | | Text contrast passes 4.5:1 | WCAG 1.4.3 | 64% | | Loads in under 2.5 s on a phone | Core Web Vitals · LCP | 26% | | Images have text descriptions | WCAG 1.1.1 | 19% | ## What this means for agencies For small agencies and freelancers who sell websites to independent restaurants, cafés and bars. We scanned 180 of their websites: 0% score under 60 out of 100, and 74% leave at least three of the questions diners ask unanswered. Here is where the winnable work is, which problems to lead a pitch with, and how to show them without days of spec design. ### Who is realistic to win Chef-driven and fine dining are the most winnable clients: the lowest median score (77/100), and 0% score under 60. | Type | Sites | Median score | Under 60 | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Casual and family restaurants | 42 | 78 | 0% | | Chef-driven and fine dining | 48 | 77 | 0% | | Cafés and bakeries | 45 | 81 | 0% | | Bars and brewpubs | 45 | 79 | 0% | ### 5 fixable problems to lead a pitch with 1. **Restaurant, café or bar structured data** (84% of sites, quick fix). Fix: Add Restaurant (or CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub) structured data with address, hours, menu link and booking link. Pitch: "Search engines and assistants have to guess your hours and where your menu is." 2. **Can I eat here with my allergy or diet?** (71% of sites, content). Fix: Mark vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes on the menu, with a short allergen note on how the kitchen handles requests. Pitch: "A guest with an allergy picks the place that says so before they arrive; the server answers the same question every night." 3. **What will it cost?** (66% of sites, quick fix). Fix: Show the price beside every dish on the menu page. Pitch: "Diners choose where to eat on what it will cost, and the menu makes them guess." 4. **Text contrast passes 4.5:1** (64% of sites, quick fix). Fix: Raise text contrast to at least 4.5:1 in the theme, especially text over food photos. Pitch: "Parts of the site are hard to read, and it is a WCAG failure." 5. **Can I get a table without calling?** (63% of sites, build). Fix: A "Book a table" button on every page, linked to the booking system, or a plain line saying the place is walk-ins only. Pitch: "A table for Friday means a phone call during service, so people book somewhere else." ### How to show a prospect their problems and a redesign 1. **Lead with their problem, not your services.** Open with one question the site fails, for example restaurant, café or bar structured data (84% of sites in this report miss it), and show the exact page where the answer should be. 2. **Put a number on it.** Compare their site with the sector: across 180 independent restaurants, cafés and bars sites, the median scores 78 out of 100 and answers 4 of the 8 questions diners ask. A number travels further inside the client than an opinion. 3. **Show the fix without days of spec work.** A rough redesign that answers those questions persuades better than a proposal, but it usually costs a designer a day or two per prospect. You can sketch it by hand, or use Clikiti: the scan is free and shows any site's problems in about a minute, and paid plans draft a redesign of the home page from the prospect's own brand, from about $2.33 per pitch. ## Best in class: Willa Jean Cafés and bakerie, New Orleans, LA (https://www.willajean.com/). Answers 8 of the 8 diner questions tested; passes every speed and accessibility check; overall website score 91/100. Named as a positive example; every other site is anonymous. What it does well: - Opening hours shown on the site - The menu is real text, not a PDF or a photo - Prices shown on the menu - Book a table online, or a clear walk-ins-only note - Order pickup or delivery directly, not only through an app - Allergens or vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes marked - Street address with a map link, directions or parking - Private events, buyouts or catering described - Real phone visitors see the main content in 1.2 s (Chrome UX Report, 75th percentile; good is 2.5 s or less) - No text fails the WCAG 1.4.3 contrast minimum - Every image has a text description (WCAG 1.1.1) - Clikiti pillar scores of 90 or more: usability 100, accessibility 97, SEO 97, trust 94 ## Method - **Sample:** 180 independent restaurant, café and bar websites (42 casual and family restaurants, 48 chef-driven and fine dining, 45 cafés and bakeries, 45 bars and brewpubs). - **When:** scanned October 2026; published 2026-10-15. - **How:** the questions are read from the served HTML of each home page and the pages it links to. Load time, contrast and image descriptions come from Google Lighthouse (PageSpeed Insights) in a phone and a desktop render, with Chrome UX Report real-user data where it exists. A check passes only when the scan finds it; each check cites the standard it comes from. - **Score:** Clikiti's overall website score (rubric v2): usability 30%, speed 25%, accessibility 25%, SEO 10%, trust 10%. It measures the website, not the independent restaurant, café and bar. The questions are reported separately and do not feed it. - **Margin of error:** shares are exact for the sites scanned. Read as estimates for all independent restaurant, café and bar websites, they carry a margin of error of up to ±7.3 percentage points at 95% confidence (worst case, p = 0.5, n = 180). - **Privacy:** results are published as aggregates or anonymously. Sites are listed by name in the appendix with no individual results; only the best-in-class example is named with its results. ## License and citation Free to use and cite under CC BY 4.0.

Margin of error ±7.3 points at 95% confidence. ### A1. The research question When a diner looks up an independent restaurant, café or bar online, usually on a phone and often on the pavement outside, can they find out whether it is open tonight, read the menu, see what it costs, get a table or order without calling and without a delivery app, tell whether they can eat there with an allergy or a diet, find the door and somewhere to park, and book it for a party? Population: Independently owned US restaurants, cafés and bars with one to four locations and their own website, in four groups: casual and family restaurants, chef-driven and fine dining, cafés and bakeries, and bars and brewpubs. These are the hospitality businesses a small or mid-size web agency can realistically win as clients. ### A2. Who was studied | Source | What it contributes | Sites | |---|---|---:| | Local search and city guides, casual and family restaurants | Independent neighbourhood, family and casual restaurants (diners, pizzerias, taquerias, barbecue and the like) found in local search results and city dining guides, city by city | 42 | | Local search and city guides, chef-driven and fine dining | Chef-owned and independent fine-dining restaurants and bistros found in local search results and city dining guides, city by city | 48 | | Local search and city guides, cafés and bakeries | Independent cafés, coffee shops that serve food, and bakeries found in local search results and city dining guides, city by city | 45 | | Local search and city guides, bars and brewpubs | Independent bars that serve food, gastropubs, taverns and brewpubs found in local search results and city dining guides, city by city | 45 | Included: - An independently owned restaurant, café, bakery or bar with one to four locations and its own website (not a directory, delivery app or social profile) - Serves food to the public on its premises - Based in the United States - Home page responds and shows the business it claims to be (each home page title was checked before scanning) Excluded: - Chains and franchises: any brand with five or more locations, and restaurants run by a national restaurant group - Restaurants inside chain hotels or casinos - Places whose only web presence is a delivery or ordering platform storefront (DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, Toast, Slice, ChowNow and the like), a social profile or a link page - Food trucks, ghost kitchens and food halls without a site of their own - Places reported permanently closed - Parked, placeholder, under-maintenance, password-protected or unreachable sites, and duplicates | From list to sample | Sites | |---|---:| | Candidates listed | 208 | | Removed at screening: the site refused automated visitors or served a bot challenge (11) | -11 | | Removed at screening: no page served to automated visitors, or a placeholder (8) | -8 | | Removed at editorial review: five or more locations or a multi-location group (3), the domain no longer serves the business (3), a hotel's site (1), no site of its own (1) | -8 | | Cohort | 181 | | Region (US Census) | Casual and family restaurants | Chef-driven and fine dining | Cafés and bakeries | Bars and brewpubs | All | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Northeast | 11 | 13 | 13 | 8 | 45 | | Midwest | 10 | 12 | 10 | 13 | 45 | | South | 11 | 12 | 11 | 12 | 46 | | West | 10 | 11 | 11 | 12 | 44 | ### A3. How the sites were read - Pages: The home page, then for each of eight topics (menu, hours and location, reservations, ordering, private events and catering, about, contact, allergens and dietary) the best-matching link on the home page. - Speed and accessibility: Google PageSpeed Insights (Lighthouse) on a mid-range phone profile and on desktop, plus Chrome UX Report data from real visitors over the previous 28 days where Google publishes it for the site. - Crawler conduct: One request at a time to each site, at least 400 ms apart, at most ten pages per site; robots.txt is read and obeyed for every page requested; a site that refuses is left out and never retried. User agent: `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ClikitiResearch/1.0; +https://clikiti.com)`. ### A4. What was measured | Question | Counts as answered when | Standard | |---|---|---| | Are you open tonight? (Opening hours shown on the site) | Opening hours are shown as text on the home page or a contact, hours, location or about page it links to: at least one day of the week with a time range (for example 'Tue–Sat 5–10 pm'). | Clikiti diner question 1 of 8 | | Can I read the menu on my phone? (The menu is real text, not a PDF or a photo) | The menu is readable as text on the site: a menu page (or the home page) carries at least eight dish lines in the served HTML, or a known menu service renders it as text. A menu offered only as a PDF, an image or a link to a delivery app fails. | Diner question 2 · WCAG 1.4.5 | | What will it cost? (Prices shown on the menu) | Prices are shown next to dishes on a menu read as text: at least three amounts like '$14' or '14.50' on the menu page. A price only inside a PDF or an image is not seen. | Clikiti diner question 3 of 8 | | Can I get a table without calling? (Book a table online, or a clear walk-ins-only note) | A diner can get a table without calling: a link or embedded widget for online reservations (OpenTable, Resy, Tock, SevenRooms, Yelp Reservations and the like, or the site's own booking form), or a clear statement that the place takes walk-ins only or does not take reservations. | Clikiti diner question 4 of 8 | | Can I order from you directly? (Order pickup or delivery directly, not only through an app) | A diner can order pickup or delivery directly from the restaurant: a link to the restaurant's own online ordering (its own shop or a commission-free ordering service such as Toast, Square, ChowNow, Clover, BentoBox or a direct storefront). Links only to delivery marketplaces (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Postmates) fail, and so does no ordering at all. | Clikiti diner question 5 of 8 | | Can I eat here with my allergy or diet? (Allergens or vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes marked) | Allergens or dietary needs are addressed in text: dishes marked vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or dairy-free (words or a legend like 'GF', 'V'), or a statement about allergens or how the kitchen handles them. | Clikiti diner question 6 of 8 | | Where are you, and where do I park? (Street address with a map link, directions or parking) | The street address is shown as text and comes with a way to get there: a map link or embedded map, directions, or a note about parking. | Clikiti diner question 7 of 8 | | Can we book you for a party? (Private events, buyouts or catering described) | Private dining, private events, buyouts, large parties or catering are described on the site or on a page it links to. | Clikiti diner question 8 of 8 | | Loads in under 2.5 s on a phone (Loads in under 2.5 s on a phone) | | Core Web Vitals · LCP | | Text contrast passes 4.5:1 (Text contrast passes 4.5:1) | | WCAG 1.4.3 | | Images have text descriptions (Images have text descriptions) | | WCAG 1.1.1 | | Restaurant, café or bar structured data (Restaurant, café or bar structured data) | Structured data marks the business as a Restaurant, CafeOrCoffeeShop, Bakery, BarOrPub, Brewery, Winery or FoodEstablishment. | Schema.org · FoodEstablishment | ### A5. The website score Clikiti website score, rubric 2.0.0: a weighted mean of usability 30%, speed 25%, accessibility 25%, search 10% and trust 10%. It measures the website, not the organisation; the questions above do not feed it. Report-card letters: A 90+, B 75+, C 45+, D 30+, F below 30. ### A6. Precision ±7.3 points overall at 95% confidence (worst case p = 0.5, 1.96 × √(0.25/n)); by type: casual and family restaurants ±15.1 (n = 42); chef-driven and fine dining ±14.1 (n = 48); cafés and bakeries ±14.6 (n = 45); bars and brewpubs ±14.6 (n = 45). ### A7. Quality control - Every home page in the cohort was fetched and its title checked against the listed business before scanning, every home page was checked for gambling, pharmacy, adult and crypto spam, and every home page was checked for restaurant content (two repurposed domains were removed) - Businesses were checked for duplicates across domains by phone number (none found; one shared number belongs to two sister businesses) - Detection rules were checked against the evidence they record for a sample of passes and fails for every rule, and revised before the final run - Every published figure is recomputed from the data at build time, and a statement in the text that the data does not support stops the build - Results are published only after automated checks for missing data, anonymity, accessibility of the report itself and the margin of error statement pass ### A8. Limitations - A point-in-time snapshot: menus, hours and sites change often, and a site may have improved or declined since it was read. - Only public pages were read: the home page and pages it links to. Booking and ordering flows were not completed, and their accessibility was not tested. - Answers are read from the page as a server delivers it. Content that only appears after scripts run in the browser (some whole sites, menu widgets and booking tools) is not seen, which the study counts as a gap a search engine or a slow phone would also meet. - A menu, price or allergen note inside a PDF or an image counts as not found as text; the study does not read PDFs or images. - The study reports what a website shows. It does not judge any restaurant's food, service or prices, and it does not check whether any allergen statement is accurate. - Automated accessibility tests find only part of what WCAG covers; keyboard and screen-reader use need a manual audit. - The sample is a structured list of real, independent businesses, not a random draw. Margins of error are given as a guide to precision, not as a guarantee that the results hold for every business in the country. ## Appendix B: restaurants in this study Who was scanned, and nothing more: results are shown only in aggregate or anonymously. ### Casual and family restaurants (42) - [12 Bones Smokehouse](https://12bones.com/), Asheville, NC - [Avoli Osteria](https://www.avoliosteria.com/), Omaha, NE - [Baratta's](https://barattas.com/), Des Moines, IA - [Becky's Diner](https://www.beckysdiner.com/), Portland, ME - [Block 16](https://block16omaha.com/), Omaha, NE - [Bocce Club Pizza](https://bocceclubpizza.com/), Buffalo, NY - [Boise Fry Company](https://www.boisefrycompany.com/), Boise, ID - [Cafe Soriah](https://soriah.com/), Eugene, OR - [Church Street Cafe](https://www.churchstreetcafe.com/), Albuquerque, NM - [Comet Cafe](https://www.thecometcafe.com/), Milwaukee, WI - [Duckfat](https://www.duckfat.com/), Portland, ME - [Fong's Pizza](https://www.fongspizza.com/), Des Moines, IA - [Garnett's Cafe](https://garnettscafe.com/), Richmond, VA - [Hop Alley](https://hopalleydenver.com/), Denver, CO - [Hydraulic Hearth](https://hydraulichearth.com/), Buffalo, NY - [Izakaya Meiji Company](https://www.izakayameiji.com/), Eugene, OR - [Juan in a Million](https://juaninamillion.com/), Austin, TX - [Katalina's](https://www.katalinas.com/), Columbus, OH - [Kismet Grill](https://kismetgrill.com/), Albany, NY - [Ma Fischer's Diner](https://mafischers.com/), Milwaukee, WI - [Mama J's](https://www.mamajskitchen.com/), Richmond, VA - [Matt's El Rancho](https://mattselrancho.com/), Austin, TX - [Mildred's](https://www.mildredskc.com/), Kansas City, MO - [Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room](https://mrswilkes.com/), Savannah, GA - [Olneyville N.Y.
