And i don't want to download the menu as pdf to have a look at it.
AkwardBearHug
I wanna know the names of servers on staff that day.
javaknowledge
I like a gallery to see food and the area
norwegianelkaholic
And Happy Hour details. That's important.
TwoSeamer
Or like an Internet provider. "For prices in your area call this number." Um, NO. Post your damn prices or I'm going elsewhere
goneintheblinkofmyeye
It's not the web designers fault. It's always the owner of said establishment that asks for that shit.

basically, this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/restaurant_website
Raventhief
A phone number too.

And general dress code

I need to know that the hand soap in their bathroom is environmentally balanced. And, that the napkins are over 30% post-consumer recycled.

"Is it Free-gan friendly?"
LemonFanta
Are the chickens vegan and cage free?
AOWR
i like to see photos of the restaurant to get an understanding of the ambiance and proper attire etc...
Stanistani
Maybe a picture of some food if you have the space.

And when I want to see a menu, I don't want to have to download a PDF version.
CKOD
I'll take a PDF any day over some shit-ass windowed thing showing 1 section at a time using 1/6th my screen.
TheBlueMuppet
Downside is changes aren't reflected in your PDF, so then they seal with irate customers.

Better a .PDF than a low-res .jpeg
ThatsMadTed
Dear God, THIS!
SomethingAwesomer
Easy to use online reservations system and ability to order take-out/delivery online, too.
copingcabana
My wife and I were looking for restaurants for our wedding. Saw "Walla" (instead of voila) and PASS!
hoffbox
I pacifically told thems two... but they was bolivious.

Saving this so when I browse I can send it along with a tersely worded email.
jalalabi
God Yes! Put a top-nav category for HOURS up there! Don't make us search in "About," "Contact Us", "Our Story," to find out WTF you're open!
blackeye453
Reviews? No?
travertaneous
We also care about Mission Report: December 16th, 1991
peytonbgregory
Yes, but that's not what the owners want on the websites.
JudgeMentaI
online reservations are nice too
typicality
Web Dev here. Most stupid shit on websites is because the client asked for it, not because I thought it was a good idea.
Can confirm.
JudgeRhymehold
Also for the places that deliver. Show a map of your reach so I can just glance rather than load another search :)
kittykat
And if you have music auto-play once I get to your website, I hate you.
BuckFrickman
This. This a thousand times.
dumpsterbreath
and also online job applications.
FloppyPankake47
Print off menus with prices would be nice
notadisneyprincess
You should also add a helpful hint to not treat the restaurant staff like dog shit.
SFH1989
A restaurant from my hometown has the worst website (autoplay music) and they don't take cards: http://www.sycamoredrivein.com/index.html
Snarkoleptic
Hahaha to be honest, if it were in Seattle or San Francisco, it would do well "ironically"
FUCK MY EYES
ConsumerOfStories
Also, it's nice when menus include prices.
flyingsolow
Also a booking form.
HiddenSanity
I like being able to find a link to a sub-page where it lists their food suppliers.
chestahfieldz
And the nutrition information
Juicytoast
Oh and the current deals/discounts would be nice too.
TheGenitalTornado
If there's no price on the menus when you get there safe bet you can't afford it.
Subsound
Truth
Tamaril
As an imgurian, online reservations and/or ordering is nice too.
eggmuffin
I don't buy anything that's not listed with a price. That goes for everything, not just food.
TheBearsMaiden
if you have to ask you can't afford it is the places that don't have prices
bundleofwoodensticks
If you have to ask, you obviously can't afford it.
BringbackthePlague
Doh! Someone already said it
ImTheGoddamnBatwoman
Many chain restaurants don't do that because prices vary by location.
How hard is it for a chain, even with hundreds of locations, to have the correct info about each one?
skelitor120
My McDonalds charges 10$ for a 20 pc. McNugget meal but the one in the next city, 15 mins away, charges 12$.
Disgruntled3lf
Not at all. Niantic could probably do it.
fe1od1or
It's cheeky psychology. Makes more customers buy more
jrau18
Makes me buy not a goddamn thing.
luposlipaphobia
It makes mw avoid the fuck out of your business
Thing is, not everyone is smart enough for that. They let their emotions choose, not their bank account.
HalifaxSamuels
I won't buy from them if I check their website and don't see prices. If you have to hide that info from me then I'm not giving you anything.
bsteven3
While most often used to describe anything but a menu... http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/menu-costs.asp
IfmynameisDICKdoesthatmakemeNSFW
Lol same! How very passive aggressive we are...
Yeah but still, someone makes the decision to hide the prices of the things they sell. That's pretty douchey.
Smead
If it's a chain, they don't list prices bc they are different depending on where you live.
It's business strategy. They want you to come into the restaurant. But I agree it's fucking annoying af
exlurker42
Its actually illegal in some circumstances don't jump to conclusions.
Jumping to conclusions is the only exercise I get anymore. I can't give it up.
RincewindTVD
Illegal to show the price of your goods and services? What circumstances are those?
It's all wrapped up in online and interstate commerce law. Basically unless you're selling online there's a lot of rules about prices.
