More Direct Bookings, Fuller Tables, Fewer Commissions
We build websites, online ordering systems and local marketing for hotels, cafés, cloud kitchens and restaurants, so guests book and order from you rather than an app that takes a cut of every bill.

Problems we keep solving in hotels & restaurants
Each one is a pattern we've already built for — so you don't pay for us to learn your world.
The problem
Aggregators take a large cut of every order
What we build
A commission-free online ordering website with your own menu, UPI and card payments, WhatsApp order alerts and loyalty offers that bring regulars back to order direct.
The problem
OTAs eat into every room booking
What we build
A fast hotel website with a direct booking engine, live room availability, best-rate messaging and secure payment, so guests who find you on OTAs come back to book direct.
The problem
Reviews and the Google listing are neglected
What we build
Google Business Profile management, automatic review requests after every stay or meal, and local SEO that puts you in the “near me” map results.
The problem
Table reservations still run on phone calls and a diary
What we build
An online table-booking system with instant confirmation, WhatsApp reminders, deposits for peak nights and a simple dashboard for your floor staff.
The problem
The menu is a blurry PDF nobody can read on a phone
What we build
A mobile-first digital menu and QR menu with photos, prices and veg/non-veg tags you can update in seconds, optimised so Google can read every dish.
The problem
Ad money is spent, but nobody knows what it brought in
What we build
Google Ads and Meta campaigns with proper tracking, so you see exactly how many bookings, orders and calls each rupee produced.
The problem
Guest data sits with the aggregator, not with you
What we build
A lightweight guest CRM that captures names, birthdays and order history, then sends timely offers on WhatsApp and SMS to drive repeat visits.
The problem
Events, banquets and catering enquiries slip through the cracks
What we build
Dedicated landing pages and enquiry forms for weddings, parties and corporate events, with instant lead alerts and automated follow-ups.
Why Cartelplanet
We Already Understand How Hospitality Works
We know the realities of running a hotel or restaurant: weekend rushes, seasonal demand, aggregator dependence, POS and PMS integrations, FSSAI and GST details, and guests who decide where to eat in under a minute on their phone. That means less time explaining, fewer surprises and a faster launch.
H3: We Start With the Number You Want to Move
Every project begins with one clear goal: more direct orders, more room bookings, more table reservations or more 5-star reviews. We agree on that number before we start, and report against it after launch, in plain language and without vanity metrics.

FAQ
Questions from hotels & restaurants businesses
Straight answers on cost, timelines, ownership and support. Can't find yours? Ask us — a real person replies within one working day.
Have you worked with hotels and restaurants before?
Yes. Hospitality is one of our focus industries. You can see related projects on this page, and we’re happy to share references on a call.
Can I really take online orders without paying aggregator commission?
Yes. Your own ordering website takes payments directly through a gateway, so you only pay the standard gateway fee instead of a commission on every order. Most restaurants keep aggregators for discovery and use their own site for repeat customers.
Can you add a direct booking engine to my hotel website?
Yes. We can build a booking engine or connect the one you already use, with live availability, room rates and secure payment, so guests can book without going through an OTA.
How long does it take to build a restaurant or hotel website?
A standard restaurant or café website usually takes two to four weeks. Websites with online ordering, booking engines or custom integrations take longer, and we confirm the timeline in writing before starting.
Can you integrate with the software we already use?
Usually, yes: POS systems, PMS, Tally, Zoho, payment gateways, WhatsApp Business API and most tools with an API. We confirm this during scoping, before you commit.
Will my restaurant show up on Google Maps for “near me” searches?
That’s the goal of our local SEO work. We optimise your Google Business Profile, build consistent local listings, grow genuine reviews and improve your website so you rank better in your area.
Who owns the website, domain and customer data?
You do. The code, domain, hosting accounts and every guest’s contact details belong to your business, not to us or to an aggregator.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing support and maintenance for menu updates, offers, seasonal changes and technical fixes, so your site never goes stale.
