The straight answer for 2026, Chicagoland pricing: $2,400 – $6,500 one-time for a site built to bring in diners — not just to exist.
The low end covers a sharp, fast, professional site with the essentials done right. The high end adds the growth machinery — more pages targeting more searches, booking or ordering flows, automation. What moves the price is scope, not mystery.
1. a menu that reads perfectly on a phone (PDF menus lose customers)
2. online ordering or reservation buttons wired to what you already use
3. food photography placement that sells before the first visit
Run the math the way a finance guy does: your average diner is worth about $35. At the middle of the range, this website pays for itself with roughly 127 new diners — and then it keeps working every month after.
Every business is different — the free calculator gives you a real range for your exact scope, no email required.
