Hotel & Restaurant Website Strategy 2026

Stop paying 30% commission to Zomato/Oyo. Build your own direct booking engine and loyal customer base.

The Commission Trap

Aggregators (Zomato, Swiggy, Oyo, MMT) are great for discovery but terrible for profit. They take 20-30% of your revenue. The Solution: Convert repeat customers to Direct Bookings.

Features that Drive Direct Sales

For Restaurants

  • Digital Menu (QR Code friendly).
  • Direct Ordering System (Save 30% commission).
  • Table Reservation.
  • Party/Catering Enquiry Form.

For Hotels

  • Booking Engine: Real-time availability.
  • Virtual Tour: 360-degree view of rooms.
  • Local Guide: "Places to visit nearby" blog (Great for SEO).
  • Wedding/Hall Booking Page.

Marketing Tip

Put a card in every delivery bag / reception desk: "Order on our website next time to get 15% OFF." (You save 30% commission, give 15% discount -> You still make 15% extra profit).
