A 5-star dining experience should have a website that reflects those standards. Two new starter sites from GeneratePress, Dining and Restaurant, give restaurants professionally designed layouts with an underlying code base focused on speed and performance.
Many restaurants have turned to poorly designed cookie-cutter sites just to get online quickly. Others seeking professionally designed, unique sites pay high design fees for custom work. These two starter sites provide a professional look and feel with streamlined code and an easy-to-build experience. The Dining starter site is ready-made for any brand, while the Restaurant has applied imagery and colors. Both sites are based on the same Global Styles, and either can be easily customized to your own brand’s look and feel.
High Performance Sites for Local Eateries
Using the full power of GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks, Dining and Restaurant provide all of the pages and sections to provide unparalleled marketing for your establishment.
With ample areas for mouth-watering food photography and inviting ambiance, your prospective diners will jump at your reservation booking link to experience your establishment for themselves.

How to Get Started with Dining and Restaurant
We recommend installing any starter site, including Dining or Restaurant, on a fresh WordPress installation. If you decide to install it on an existing site, your settings will be overwritten.
To get started, Go to Appearance > GeneratePress. Make sure the Site Library is Activated.
Next, click the link to go to the Site Library.
Choose “Dining” or “Restaurant” and then click “Get Started.”
If you have all the needed plugins installed, great! If you don’t, the importer will let you know prior to getting started.
You’ll need to confirm that the process will overwrite existing site content.
Click “Begin Import.” The process of downloading content to your site will take a few moments.
Once you’ve done this, click “View Site” to see your new site! You can then edit each page within the site editor and customize colors and fonts to match your brand.
