Minimum that every #restaurant should have on an actual *website*, and easy to find (not hidden in small links behind marketing blurbs): * Opening times * Address * Phone * What their concept and food is about * Pics showing actual interior, maybe exterior. Not just zoomed in pics of a plate. This tells me what vibe and environment to expect * After all that, a menu is great Many, if not most restaurants, even with a website, fail on these very basic requirements! @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social

@Setok@attractive.space @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social I'm with you on the value photos of the joint, as a dog owner and family member to neurodivergent people, these are invaluable. I.e. can I bring my dog, at least to outdoor seating? Is your restaurant so gloomy I won't be able to see my food?

@Setok@attractive.space @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social And next to the opening times some statement such as "valid as of October 2018" or "next exceptions: Christmas 2025" that helps readers judge if the opening times are likely to be accurate.

@Setok@attractive.space @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social Also, how to apply for a job. I think that's the set of full items that my wife and I decided on when we used to go out quite often to new places and always used their websites. All of that should be at the top of the page (or clearly, directly linked to an anchor at the bottom of the page) and also at the bottom of the page (where people look if they don't see it at the top). It shouldn't be light grey and tiny nor MEGA HUGE because that too, is easy to miss.

@Setok@attractive.space Also, photos of the actual plates, not stock photos. Bonus points if the photos are taken by a photographer. @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social
