The verdict in three sentences
A restaurant with no website disappears from Google Maps searches and loses customers who look up a menu or phone number before booking. In Accra in 2026, a site with online menu, booking and click-and-collect costs between 4,000 and 12,000 GHS (roughly 300,000-900,000 FCFA), plus about 350 GHS/month for hosting and maintenance. The payback is fast: +15% covers on average by the third month thanks to local visibility and takeaway orders.
What each feature costs in 2026
A restaurant site is more than a pretty homepage. It is concrete modules that bring customers in and keep them coming back. Here are the ranges seen in Accra (2026 order of magnitude).
| Feature | Price (GHS) | Timeline | Monthly | Estimated impact |

| Showcase site + QR menu | 4,000 - 6,000 | 5-8 days | 350 | +8% visits |

| Click-and-collect (takeaway) | +2,400 - 4,000 | +5 days | +130 | +12% orders |
| Mobile money payment | +1,200 - 2,000 | +2 days | included | basket +18% |
| Delivery + order tracking | +2,000 - 3,300 | +5 days | +200 | new revenue stream |
| SMS loyalty program | +1,100 - 1,700 | +3 days | +100 | +22% repeat |

Mini case study
Kwame, a restaurateur in Osu, Accra, serves 60 covers/day at a 90 GHS average ticket, i.e. 5,400 GHS/day. He invests 7,500 GHS in the Growth package (menu, booking, click-and-collect). By the second month, Google Maps visibility and takeaway add +15% covers, i.e. 9 extra covers/day: 9 x 90 = 810 GHS/day, about 24,300 GHS/month in extra revenue. The site pays for itself in under 12 operating days; the rest is net (excluding variable costs).
