In 2026, building a website for your restaurant in Spain costs between €400 and €8,000, depending on the features you need. A basic landing page with a PDF menu and contact details can come in at €600-800. If you want an interactive digital menu with allergen and language filters, the range rises to €1,500-3,000. And if you need an online booking system or ordering with a payment gateway, expect €2,500-8,000. The problem isn’t finding quotes, but understanding what each range includes and when it’s worth paying more.
This article breaks down real Spanish market prices in 2026: what features each range includes, what recurring costs add up after development, and when it makes sense to invest in a bespoke website rather than relying on a template.
This page is for information only and is not binding advice. Every case is adjusted after a diagnosis.
TL;DR
- A basic website (landing page + PDF menu) costs €400-1,200; WordPress hospitality templates, €600-800.
- Website with an interactive digital menu (filters, allergens, languages): €1,500-3,000.
- Website with integrated online booking: €2,500-5,000.
- Website with online ordering (delivery, payment gateways): €3,500-8,000.
- Recurring costs: domain €10-15/year, hosting €50-600/year, maintenance €30-100/month.
- A template is fine up to €200k annual turnover; bespoke pays for itself if delivery/bookings are your main channel.
Price ranges by type of restaurant website
Restaurant website prices in Spain in 2026 fall into four ranges depending on features. The figures reflect quotes from local agencies, freelancers and SaaS providers.
Basic website: €400-1,200
Includes a one-page landing page with a hero photo, a downloadable PDF menu, contact details, an embedded Google Maps map and a contact form. WordPress templates with a hospitality theme (Astra, Divi, a dedicated hospitality theme) cost €600-800. Visual builders such as Wix or Squarespace charge €400-600 for initial setup plus a monthly fee of €15-30.
It does not include an interactive digital menu, bookings or ordering. It works as a digital shop window and point of contact. Delivery time: 1-2 weeks.
Website with an interactive digital menu: €1,500-3,000
The menu is managed from its own dashboard (not a PDF). It includes filters by allergen and by category (starters, mains, desserts), price management, availability by day/time, and versions in several languages (Spanish, English and German, typical in tourist areas).
Development is usually WordPress with a custom plugin or a bespoke database. The restaurant updates the menu without touching any code. Delivery time: 3-5 weeks.
Website with an online booking system: €2,500-5,000
Integrates booking management with real-time availability, a synced calendar, automatic confirmation by email/SMS, and an admin panel for sittings. It can connect with TheFork, Covermanager, or a bespoke system.
The cost depends on the integration: if you use the API of an external provider (TheFork), development is cheaper but you pay a commission per booking (€1-3/diner). If you build your own system, development costs more but there is no recurring commission. Delivery time: 4-8 weeks.
Website with online ordering and payment gateways: €3,500-8,000
Shopping basket, payment gateway (Stripe, Redsys), integration with the till (EPOS) or kitchen printer, management of delivery zones and hours, and promotions set-up. It can be integrated with aggregators (Glovo, Uber Eats) or run independently.
The upper range (€6,000-8,000) includes synchronisation with ERP/CRM, real-time stock management, and automated notifications via WhatsApp or chatbot. Delivery time: 8-12 weeks.
Hidden and recurring costs nobody tells you about
The development price is just the entry fee. A restaurant website generates recurring costs that many quotes don’t itemise.
Domain and hosting
.es or .com domain: €10-15/year. Shared hosting (enough for a basic website): €50-120/year. VPS or dedicated hosting (needed for bookings or ordering with high traffic): €200-600/year. Managed hosting such as WP Engine or Kinsta: €300-1,200/year.
Visual builders (Wix, Squarespace) include hosting in the monthly fee (€15-40/month), but you have no control over the server.
SSL certificate and security
Let’s Encrypt offers free SSL if your hosting supports it. If you need an extended validation (EV) certificate for payment gateways, expect €50-200/year. Premium security plugins (Wordfence, Sucuri): €100-300/year.
Maintenance and updates
WordPress and plugin updates, automatic backups and technical support: €30-100/month depending on the provider. Some charge per incident (€50-150/call-out). If the website has bookings or ordering, maintenance is critical: downtime = direct loss of sales.
Plugin and tool licences
Booking system (premium plugin): €100-300/year. Digital menu (plugin or SaaS): €50-200/year. Payment gateways: no fixed cost but a commission per transaction (1.5-3% + €0.25/order is typical with Stripe). Integration with TheFork or Covermanager: commission per booking or a monthly fee (€30-100/month).
Content and photography
Stock photos are free (Unsplash, Pexels) but don’t show your dishes. Professional photo shoot (10-15 dishes): €300-800. SEO-optimised copywriting: €150-400. Translation of the menu into English/German: €50-150 depending on length.
What each range includes and what it doesn’t
Quotes for restaurant websites usually list “design, development and content upload”, but the detail varies. Here is the real breakdown.
What the base price does include
Visual design tailored to your brand (colours, logo, typography). Responsive layout (mobile, tablet, desktop). Upload of initial content (copy you supply, images, menu). Contact form set-up. Google Maps integration. Basic SEO set-up (titles, descriptions, clean URLs).
What is NOT included and is charged separately
Content writing (professional, optimised copy). Product or venue photography. Translation of content into other languages. Google My Business or local listings set-up. Advertising campaigns (Google Ads, Meta Ads). Complex integrations (ERP, CRM, hospitality management software). Training for your team to manage the website. Technical support beyond the first 30 days.
Some agencies include 1-2 hours of training; others charge €50-100/hour for additional sessions.
Template vs bespoke website: when it’s worth paying more
The decision between a template (€800-1,500) and a bespoke website (€3,000-8,000) depends on volume, sales channels and growth outlook.
When a template is enough
Annual turnover below €200,000. The website is a shop window, not a direct sales channel. You don’t need integrations with your own management software. Most bookings come by phone or in person. You have no delivery or online ordering. You can live with limited customisation (fixed structure, predefined modules).
WordPress templates with a hospitality theme (Astra + Elementor, Divi) cover most cases for small and medium-sized restaurants. Quick set-up, low cost, easy to update.
When you need a bespoke website
Delivery or online bookings generate a significant share of your income. You need integrations with your till (EPOS), ERP or kitchen management software. You manage several venues from one central dashboard. You want automations (automatic confirmations via WhatsApp, stock synchronisation, personalised promotions). The template falls short on performance (load times, scalability).
A bespoke website gives you full control: your own database, optimised code, native integrations. It pays for itself if the digital channel is core to the business.
How much it costs to maintain the website after launch
Development is a one-off investment. Maintenance is a recurring cost that many people don’t budget for.
Scenario 1: Basic website with no online sales
Domain: €12/year. Shared hosting: €80/year. SSL: free (Let’s Encrypt). DIY maintenance (you update WordPress yourself): €0. Annual total: €92. If you hire an agency for maintenance (updates, backups, support): €360-1,200/year (€30-100/month).
Scenario 2: Website with online bookings
Domain: €12/year. VPS hosting: €300/year. Booking plugin licence: €150/year. Professional maintenance (essential): €600-1,200/year. Commission per booking (if you use TheFork): €1-3/diner. Fixed annual total: €1,062-1,662 + variable commissions.
Scenario 3: Website with online ordering
Domain: €12/year. Dedicated hosting: €500/year. Payment gateway (commission): 1.5-3% + €0.25/transaction. Professional maintenance: €1,200-2,400/year. Integration with Glovo/Uber Eats (if applicable): 25-35% commission per order. Fixed annual total: €1,712-2,912 + transaction commissions.
Gateway and aggregator commissions are the biggest hidden cost. A restaurant turning over €10,000/month in online orders pays €150-300/month in gateway commissions alone.
Typical providers and budget ranges in Spain
The Spanish restaurant website market in 2026 is split between freelancers, local agencies, SaaS platforms and agencies specialising in hospitality.
Freelancers: €400-2,500
Fast development, direct contact, tight pricing. Risk: long-term support depends on a single person. Variable delivery times. Suitable for tight budgets and simple projects (landing page, basic digital menu).
Local agencies: €1,200-5,000
A team, defined processes, structured support. Higher price but predictable delivery. Many agencies in Málaga, Madrid and Barcelona offer packages specifically for hospitality. They include design, development, training and 1-3 months of support.
SaaS platforms (Wix, Squarespace, Jimdo): €400-1,000 set-up + €15-40/month
Quick set-up, no code, proven templates. Limited customisation and control. Recurring monthly cost. You have no access to the source code. Suitable if you prioritise speed and don’t need complex integrations.
Agencies specialising in hospitality: €2,000-8,000
They know the sector, offer native integrations with management software (till, bookings, kitchen) and have success stories with similar restaurants. High price but an end-to-end solution. Some providers offer “website + social media management + local SEO” packages from €3,500.
Mistakes that make the project more expensive without adding value
Many restaurants spend more than necessary because of poorly informed decisions.
Asking for features nobody uses
Complex animations, sliders with 15 images, autoplay videos. They slow the website down, complicate maintenance and don’t improve conversion. Most users are looking for the menu, location and phone number. Prioritise loading speed over visual effects.
Not providing ready-made content
If the agency has to write the copy, photograph the dishes and translate the menu, the price goes up by €800-2,000. Provide the base copy yourself, acceptable photos (a recent mobile phone will do if the light is good) and an up-to-date menu. The agency polishes; it doesn’t create from scratch.
Choosing a provider for design, not functionality
A beautiful website that takes ages to load loses visitors. Prioritise performance, genuinely responsive design (not just “it looks fine” on mobile) and a load time under 3 seconds. Ask about the PageSpeed score before signing.
Changing your mind mid-project
Every change of structure, added section or altered flow adds €200-800 and delays delivery by 1-2 weeks. Define the scope before you start. If you need bookings, say so from day one, not in week 3.
Not budgeting for maintenance
A website left un-updated for 6 months accumulates vulnerabilities. WordPress releases updates every 2-3 months; plugins, every month. If you have no technical knowledge, hire maintenance from day 1. It is cheaper to prevent (€50/month) than to recover a hacked website (€500-2,000).
Frequently asked questions
How much does a basic website for a restaurant in Spain really cost in 2026?
A basic website (landing page with PDF menu, photos, contact details and Google Maps) costs between €400 and €1,200 depending on the provider. WordPress templates with a hospitality theme are around €600-800. The cost includes design, layout and upload of initial content. It does not include domain, hosting or maintenance.
What is the price difference between a website with a digital menu and one with a booking system?
A website with an interactive digital menu (filters, allergens, languages) costs between €1,500 and €3,000. If you add an integrated online booking system, the range rises to €2,500-5,000. The difference lies in the integration with booking platforms (TheFork, Covermanager, your own) and real-time availability synchronisation.
How much does a website with online ordering for delivery and collection cost?
A website with online ordering (basket, payment gateways, integration with the till or kitchen) costs between €3,500 and €8,000 depending on complexity. The cost depends on whether you integrate Glovo/Uber Eats, whether you have delivery zone management and automatic promotions, and whether you synchronise stock. SaaS solutions such as Delvy or Mr. Jeff charge an additional monthly fee.
What recurring costs does a restaurant website have besides development?
Domain: €10-15/year. Shared hosting: €50-120/year. Dedicated or VPS hosting: €200-600/year. SSL certificate (if not included in the hosting): €0-50/year. Maintenance (updates, backups): €30-100/month. Premium plugin licences (bookings, menu): €50-200/year. Payment gateways: commission per transaction (1.5%-3%).
Is it worth paying more for a bespoke website instead of a template?
It depends on volume and strategy. If you turn over less than €200,000/year and your website is a shop window, a well-configured template (€800-1,500) is enough. If delivery or online bookings are your main channel, a bespoke website (€3,000-8,000) gives you full control, your own integrations and scalability. A template falls short when you need automations or a connection to your ERP/CRM.
How long does a restaurant website take to be ready, and what happens if I need changes afterwards?
A basic website (template): 1-2 weeks. Bespoke website with bookings: 4-8 weeks. Website with online ordering and payment gateways: 8-12 weeks. Minor changes (copy, photos, menu prices) are usually covered by monthly maintenance. Structural changes, new features or integrations are charged separately: from €200 for a simple module to €2,000+ for complex integrations.
