The Problem
Why Most Restaurants & Food Businesses Struggle Online
These are not hypothetical risks. If you do not have a professional website, these are happening to your business right now.
Pain Point 1
🔍
Customers Cannot Find You on Google
When someone in Nairobi searches "restaurant near me" or "best pilau Westlands", they find the competitors who have websites. Without a website, you are invisible to every Google search — regardless of how good your food is. A Facebook page is not indexed the same way. A website is.
Pain Point 2
💳
You Are Paying 30% Commission to Glovo and Jumia Food
Third-party delivery platforms take 20–35% of every order you fulfil. On a KSh 800 meal, that is KSh 160–280 gone to a platform before you pay your staff or your ingredients. A restaurant-owned website with direct M-Pesa ordering keeps 100% of your revenue. The hosting costs less than one Glovo commission a month.
Pain Point 3
📵
WhatsApp Orders Are Chaos at Scale
Most Nairobi restaurants take orders on WhatsApp. It works at 10 orders a day. At 50, orders get missed, items get confused, and customers get frustrated. A website with an online ordering form or WooCommerce integration organises orders automatically — with M-Pesa confirmation before you even start cooking.
All three problems have the same fix: a professional website built on the right hosting.
Tayo Host E-Commerce Hosting is built specifically for Restaurants & Food in Kenya.
The Data
Does a Restaurant in Kenya Actually Need a Website in 2025?
Yes — and the data makes this clear. Kenya's restaurant delivery market reached $296 million in revenue in 2024 and is growing at 15.87% annually through 2028, according to Statista. The consumers driving this growth are ordering through smartphones. A website gives your restaurant a permanent, searchable, ownable presence that no social media platform can replicate. Google Business Profile without a website backing it up ranks lower. Delivery platforms take your margin. Your own website with M-Pesa ordering is the only channel where you keep 100% of your revenue and own your customer relationship. 70% of consumers globally prefer ordering directly from a restaurant rather than through a third-party app (Lightspeed, 2026) — they just need a place to go.
