Statistically driven benefits of working with Otter Website Design
In the modern restaurant industry, your website is more than just a menu—it is your highest-performing salesperson. Here is what the data says about the ROI of a premium online experience:
How many diners check a restaurant's website before visiting?
77%

Why is email marketing important for Annapolis restaurants?
3,600%
is the average return for every $1 spent on email marketing; furthermore, a 20% increase in covers can be driven during “slow” periods by capturing guest emails on your site and utilizing targeted promotions.
Do customers prefer ordering directly from a restaurant or a third-party app?
56%
of consumers prefer to order directly from a restaurant’s website rather than a third-party app (like DoorDash) if the process is seamless. This saves the restaurant 15%–30% in commission fees per order.
Why should restaurants avoid using PDF menus on their websites?
85%

How does a poor mobile website affect a restaurant's reputation?
57%
of customers will not recommend a business with a poorly designed mobile website. Since over 90% of “food near me” searches happen on mobile, a responsive site is no longer optional.
