If you run a Korean restaurant in Los Angeles and your full menu is already on Grubhub or other delivery apps, a new website can be built for $599. The goal is to drive dine-in traffic, not to replace your online ordering. For a detailed look at all options, see our complete price list.

That $599 price is for our Landmark package. It gets you a full, bilingual website where every service has its own page. The English and Korean versions live on separate URLs, joined by hreflang tags, so both can rank in Google. The site is built by hand, passes an accessibility check, and you will own all the code and files. This post explains why that setup works for your situation and what you should not pay for.

1. What the $599 Landmark Build Includes

A Landmark build is a complete, static website. For a restaurant, that typically means a homepage, an About page, a Contact page, and a dedicated page for your menu. Since your menu items and descriptions already exist digitally on Grubhub, we can repurpose that content. This saves significant copywriting time. The menu page on your site will feature your offerings, but it will not process online orders. Its primary job is to showcase your food for people researching where to dine.

The site will be bilingual. The English and Korean content will be on separate URLs (like yoursite.com/menu and yoursite.com/kr/menu). This is a technical best practice for SEO, allowing each language version to rank properly. We write the Korean content directly; it is never run through an automated translator. You own the hosting account and all website files from day one.

2. What You Do Not Need to Buy

Because you already have a functional delivery system, you can avoid several common and costly website additions.

You do not need an online store. Our Storefront package ($2,000) is for taking payments directly on the site. Your Grubhub, DoorDash, or Uber Eats link handles that. Adding a complex e-commerce system would be redundant and increase your costs and maintenance.

You likely do not need a custom web application. Our Flagship package ($3,750+) is for businesses that need customer accounts, booking portals, or complex integrations. A standard restaurant driving dine-in traffic rarely needs this. A simple, fast-loading informational site is more effective.

KEEP IT SIMPLE: Your goal is to get the phone to ring for reservations and to get people in the door. A website that clearly shows your location, hours, ambiance, and menu does that job. Adding features that duplicate your third-party delivery apps does not.

3. How a Bilingual Site Drives Dine-In Traffic

The adult children of your Korean-speaking customers are often the ones researching restaurants online. They search in English. Their parents may search in Korean. If your site only has one language, you miss half of this audience. With separate English and Korean URLs, your site can appear in both sets of search results for terms like "web design pricing los angeles" for the research phase, and later for "best Korean BBQ Los Angeles."

The menu page is the key. It should be easy to read, with clear dish names and descriptions. Use the copy you have on Grubhub, but format it cleanly for a website visitor. For example:

Makgeolli, 750ml bottle, 6% ABV
Galbi Jjim, serves two

This approach presents your food for consideration, not just for immediate transaction. It supports the dine-in experience. For more on how we build sites for this industry, visit our restaurant website portfolio.

4. What Comes After the Site Launches

Once the site is live, your main task is to make sure local searchers can find it. You do not need to start with a large advertising budget.

The first step is local SEO. This means claiming and optimizing your Google Business Profile, ensuring your name, address, phone number (NAP) are consistent everywhere, and getting your site listed in relevant local directories. We offer a local SEO service for $100 per month, month-to-month with no contract.

If you want to actively bring in new customers, you can consider Google Ads or Meta Ads. We manage these campaigns for a $200 monthly management fee, with your ad budget paid directly to the platform. This can be effective for promoting special events or a new location.

5. When a One-Page Site Is Enough

Our Spotlight package costs $300. It is a single-page website designed to do one job, usually to get the phone to ring. For a restaurant with an existing delivery presence, this could be enough if you only want a digital business card online. It would have your hours, location, a link to your Grubhub menu, and a prominent phone number.

However, a single page has limitations for SEO. It is harder to rank for multiple related terms (like "Korean restaurant Los Angeles" and "best bibimbap near me"). The Landmark build, with a page for each main topic, gives Google more context and a better chance to rank your site for relevant searches. If your only goal is a placeholder with a phone number, the Spotlight works. If you want to grow your dine-in business through search, the Landmark build is the better value.

6. Getting Started with a Website Audit

The next step is to look objectively at what you have now. If you already have a website, we provide a free website audit. This report will show you what is working, what is not, and whether a new build is the right move. Often, business owners are surprised to find their current site has technical issues that prevent customers from finding them.

If you have no site at all, the path is straightforward. The Landmark build at $599 is the recommended starting point. It gives you the foundation to attract both English-speaking and Korean-speaking diners, without paying for features you do not need. The focus remains on your food and your location, not on rebuilding a delivery system you already have.
