For restaurants on Instagram
Your followers love your feed. New guests just want the menu.
Someone hears about you and taps your bio link. They want three things: the menu, the hours and the address. Give them a page that answers all three in one tap, and keep Instagram for what it does best.

What a new guest finds on your profile
Your regulars know where everything is. Someone who found you five minutes ago doesn't.
01
The menu is in a story highlight
Photos of a paper menu, a few taps deep, with prices from whenever you last posted it. Guests pinch, zoom and hope it's current.
02
The hours are in a caption somewhere
Or squeezed into your bio. "Are you open today?" shouldn't take a scroll through your feed, or a DM you answer at midnight.
03
A sign-in wall for everyone else
Scroll a little without an account and Instagram asks you to log in. Tourists, older guests and people who quit social media hit that wall first.
04
Search can't read your posts
When someone searches "tapas near me" or asks an AI assistant where to eat, the answer comes from pages it can read. A photo of your menu in a highlight doesn't count.
Keep Instagram for the vibe. Give the facts a home.
A website doesn't replace your Instagram. It's the page your bio link should open.
Instagram is great for
- Showing today's specials and new dishes
- Behind the scenes with your team
- Building a following of regulars
- Sharing posts from guests who tag you
Your website takes care of
- The full menu as text, always current
- Your hours, and your address with directions, one tap from your bio
- Your menu in up to three languages, translated for you
- Allergens marked on each dish
- A QR code for your tables and window
- A link back to your Instagram, so new guests can follow you
From bio link to website in about ten minutes
Sign up and add the basics
Your restaurant's name and address. Those are the first two questions.
Add your menu
Screenshot the menu from your highlight, or take a photo of the printed one. We turn it into dishes and prices for you to check.
Update your bio link
Paste your new address into your Instagram bio. The menu, hours and address questions get answered before anyone has to DM you.
Questions owners ask
- I post everything on Instagram already. Isn't that enough?
- For people who already follow you, mostly. Someone deciding where to eat tonight wants facts fast, and a feed is built for scrolling, not for finding your Tuesday hours.
- Won't a website take people away from my Instagram?
- No. Your site links back to your Instagram, so new guests can follow you from there. It just stops them bouncing off your profile while they look for the menu.
- Do I have to keep two things up to date?
- Only the facts go on your site: menu, hours, address. They change far less often than your posts, and when they do, it's a quick edit.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. A real website with your menu, your languages and a QR code costs nothing, and we never ask for a card. Free sites carry a small "Made with Solo Menus" badge in the corner.
Keep posting. Fix the bio link.
Your menu, hours and address on one page, in your guests' languages. Free, and it stays free.
