Prices and hours
Keep prices and opening hours in one place
Wrong prices and hours lose visits even when the rest of the site looks current. Keep one approved list and update every place customers look.
Customers plan around what your website says. If a price, menu or closing time is wrong, they arrive expecting something you no longer offer — or they do not come at all.
The fix is rarely a new design. It is one list of facts, used everywhere those facts appear.
Key takeaways
- One list of prices and hours should feed the website, not the other way around.
- A mismatch with your public listing sends people to a closed door.
- Date the figures when they change often, and delete expired offers.
- Name one person who updates the shop and the site together.
1. Write the list you actually trade from
Start with today's prices, packages and opening hours, including bank holidays and seasonal changes. If the kitchen closes earlier than the shop, say so.
2. Find every place the old facts still live
Homepages, service pages, PDFs, footer lines and booking widgets often disagree. Google and social profiles add more copies.
3. Say what changed, briefly
A short line such as "Prices updated November 2026" helps returning customers trust the page. You do not need a news article for every tweak.
4. Check downloads and embedded menus
A beautiful page can still link to a PDF from two years ago. Booking tools sometimes show their own hours, separate from the homepage.
5. Decide who updates the list
If nobody owns the list, the website drifts again within a month.
Frequently asked questions
How often should prices be reviewed online?
Whenever they change in the business — not on a fixed marketing calendar. Hours need the same treatment before holidays.
Is a PDF menu good enough?
Only if it is the current file and easy to open on a phone. Many visitors never download it.
What if I have different prices for events?
Show the everyday price clearly, then explain event pricing in one sentence so people are not surprised.
One list, then the website
When the list changes, update the site and your public listing together. Explore monthly website care if you want those edits done and checked for you.
