WEBSITES & CUSTOM APPS
Website development for hotels, banquet halls and restaurants in Lucknow
A hotel or restaurant website in Lucknow should let a guest see the rooms or the menu on a phone, check a banquet hall's capacity, find the way from Charbagh or the airport, and book directly on WhatsApp instead of through a commission-charging app.
We custom-code these sites — room pages, searchable menus, banquet enquiry, gallery, the FSSAI number on display — and put them live 8–10 days after all your details reach us. The quote comes on WhatsApp.
The city's hospitality sits in distinct pockets: the older hotels of Hazratganj, the station-side guest houses along Charbagh and Kanpur Road, newer properties and banquet lawns in Gomti Nagar, Vibhuti Khand and on Shaheed Path, and the food streets of Chowk and Aminabad. Each needs a different first screen; this page covers the pages, content and apps that suit each.
What a property's own website is for: bookings that come to you direct
Travel and food-delivery apps bring a Lucknow property its strangers. The cost shows up later: a family that stayed last Diwali, or a company that sends its auditors every quarter, searches your name, finds the aggregator's listing first and books through it. You pay commission on a guest who already knew you.
Your own site catches those people. It shows the rooms and the menu properly, answers a wedding family's questions about a hall, explains the route from the station, and puts a WhatsApp booking button where the aggregator's would have been.
Websites are a newer line of work for our studio, which has designed print for Lucknow businesses since 2022. Each site is hand-coded for one property — no hotel theme, no page-builder — and the domain, hosting and files stay in your name; the website development overview lists what every build includes.
Pages a hotel or restaurant site needs
Hotels lean on the first four rows, restaurants on the menu.
| Page | What it must do | Why it matters for hospitality |
|---|---|---|
| Rooms | One block per category: photographs, bed type, occupancy, amenities such as AC, Wi-Fi and work desk, check-in and check-out times, and a WhatsApp button carrying the room name | Guests choose a room from its photographs; a clear room page turns browsing into a direct enquiry |
| Menu | The full menu as page text — sections, dishes, veg and non-veg marks, specials — with the PDF only as a download | Google reads text, not a scanned card; a dish has to be written on the page to be found |
| Banquets and weddings | Each hall or lawn with a capacity table — seated, floating, area, parking — and a form asking for date, function and guest count | Families shortlist by capacity and date; those fields let the banquet manager reply with a proposal, not questions |
| How to reach | Landmark directions from Charbagh railway station and from the airport at Amausi, the map pin, parking and the gate to use | Out-of-town guests open it in the taxi; every visit is one call fewer to the front desk |
| Gallery and offers | Albums for rooms, food, events and the building, plus a dated page for season packages and festival menus | Galleries get forwarded to relatives; dated offers stop staff quoting a package that ended last month |
| Reviews and contact | Links to your Google reviews and other listings, numbers by department, the FSSAI licence number and GSTIN in the footer | Guests read reviews before booking direct; a separate banquet line keeps wedding calls off reception |
Features that shift bookings to your own channel
- WhatsApp booking, pre-filled
- A button on every room, table and hall opens WhatsApp with the dates, guest count and room or hall name already typed, sent to the reservations number rather than the owner's phone.
- Direct-booking request form
- Dates, rooms, adults and children, arrival time and a note, delivered to the front desk on WhatsApp and email. Staff confirm the room and the advance as they do today.
- Banquet capacity table
- All halls and lawns in one comparable table, so a planner shortlists without ringing.
- A menu the restaurant edits itself
- Dishes and the day's specials changed from a small admin screen, so a new dish is live the same evening.
- Table reservation
- Date, time slot, covers and occasion, for weekends, festival nights and office dinners.
- Offers with end dates
- Wedding-season packages, New Year's Eve dinners and weekend room-and-breakfast deals that leave the page on their own once they expire.
What to send us
A hospitality site lives on its photographs and its lists. The 8–10 day schedule starts the day this set is complete:
- Logo files and any existing brochure or menu-card artwork
- Each room category: name, bed type, occupancy, amenities, check-in and check-out times, and whether tariffs are shown or given on request
- Full-size photographs of every room category, the lobby, restaurant, each hall dressed for a function, the frontage by day and night, and signature dishes — not copies saved from WhatsApp
- The menu typed in Word or Excel with veg and non-veg marks; a photo of the printed card cannot become searchable text
- For each hall or lawn: area, seated and floating capacity, catering and decoration rules
- Directions from Charbagh and the airport, map pin and parking
- FSSAI licence or registration number, GSTIN, registered name and your review-listing links
- Department numbers and house rules — ID at check-in, cancellation, child policy
You supply the text; we lay it out and the design desk prepares banners and offer graphics. If the photographs are old, reshoot before the clock starts.
Where an app helps a hotel or restaurant
The website brings the enquiry in; what follows it is app work, ready 15–20 days after we receive all your feedback on the screen plan.
Table and banquet booking manager. One calendar for every hall, lawn and reservable table: holds, confirmed functions, advance received, menu chosen, decorator booked. Banquet manager and owner see the same dates, so a lawn is never promised twice.
Kitchen order tracking. Captains enter orders on a phone at the table; the kitchen screen shows them by table, each dish moves from cooking to ready, and the floor sees how long an order has waited. The printed KOT book stays as back-up.
Repeat-guest list. Guests who have stayed, dined or booked a function, with dates and preferences, so festival offers go out on WhatsApp to those who asked for them. Planning and hand-over are on custom app development in Lucknow.
How a property's site comes together
Walk us through the property
Rooms, halls, the restaurant, which bookings you want direct, whether Hindi is needed. Demo links arrive in the same conversation.
Quote on WhatsApp
Priced on pages and features. Fifty per cent in advance books the slot; the balance falls due when the site goes live.
Photographs, menu and room details in
Everything on the checklist. The 8–10 day count begins when the set is complete.
First screen in your colours
The home page on a private link — lead photograph, booking button, the way into rooms, menu and banquets. One round of changes here.
Every page built and checked
Rooms, menu, banquet table, directions, gallery and offers, each form tested to the reservations WhatsApp. Two rounds of corrections are included.
Live, with the desk shown the controls
On your domain with SSL, Search Console and the Business Profile linked; a video call shows staff how to change offers and dishes.
How Lucknow searches for a room, a hall or a meal
Hospitality searches here are short and local: "hotel near Charbagh station", "banquet hall Gomti Nagar", "wedding lawn Shaheed Path", or a dish and a street — "kebab Aminabad". Many are in Hindi: "चारबाग के पास होटल", "लखनऊ में बैंक्वेट हॉल". Google answers with the map listing, which leans on your website for the menu and booking links.
So the site names the locality and its landmarks, carries address, hours and price range in structured data, and is linked from the Google Business Profile for both menu and bookings. A Hindi version serves families who plan weddings in Hindi.
We work across the hospitality pockets — Hazratganj, Gomti Nagar and Vibhuti Khand, Charbagh and Kanpur Road via Alambagh, Shaheed Path towards Sushant Golf City, and the food streets of Chowk and Aminabad — and can meet at the property between services.
Room calendars, bill books and the website from one desk
The photographs a property sends for its website are the same ones that fill the twelve sheets of the guest-room desk calendars and corporate-account gifts we produce, so the suite a guest saw on screen is the one on the desk at check-in. The logo, colours and type set for the site carry on to reception's letterheads, visiting cards and envelopes and the restaurant's bill books. A new property or a rebrand can brief all of it with Shubham Kumar in one meeting; how we work sets out the approvals.
Questions hotels, banquets and restaurants ask about a website
Can guests book and pay on our website?
Guests send a booking request with dates, rooms and guest numbers, on WhatsApp or the form, and your desk confirms and takes the advance as now. Online payment at the moment of booking can be scoped and quoted separately.
Will a website stop the bookings we get through travel and food apps?
No. Your listings keep bringing new guests. The website is for people who already know your name — returning guests, wedding families, company travel desks — so their booking reaches you without a commission.
Why put the menu in HTML instead of uploading the PDF?
Search engines read page text far more reliably than a PDF or a photo of a menu card, and text loads faster on a phone. With dishes written on the page, a search for a dish and a locality can find you.
Can the banquet page show which wedding dates are free?
The public page takes the enquiry with date and guest count; publishing open dates is your call. A live calendar of holds belongs in the booking manager app, visible only to staff.
We run a hotel and a restaurant under one name. One site or two?
Usually one site with a clear split — rooms, banquets and directions on one side, menu and table reservation on the other — each with its own booking button. A restaurant with its own brand and following can have a separate site.
How long does a hotel or restaurant website take?
Eight to ten days after all details are in. The usual delay is the photographs and the menu typed as text, so start on those and send original files, not WhatsApp forwards.
