Restaurants, cafés and bars
Your menu deserves the page. Your reviews deserve a band.
A restaurant site is usually one page — menu, hours, a booking link — and there is nowhere to put a reviews section without shoving the menu below the fold. That is why most restaurants have none.
Where your reviews are now.
A restaurant site is usually one page — menu, hours, a booking link — and there is no room for a reviews section without pushing the menu down.
And afterwards
A band of reviews between the menu and the booking button, updating itself every time somebody leaves one after dinner.
Why it fits Restaurants, cafés and bars.
A strip, not a section
The marquee is a full-width band about the height of a paragraph. It slots between the menu and the booking button and costs you no scroll depth, which is the reason a reviews section usually gets cut.
Reviews arrive after dinner
Restaurant reviews are written the same evening or the next morning, in a steady trickle. A widget that re-checks the listing means last night's five stars is on the site by lunchtime with nobody doing anything.
Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp together
Diners review on whichever app they opened. Rather than picking the platform where you happen to look best, show all three and let the volume make the argument.
What it looks like on your site.
The marquee layout, drawn by the same renderer that will run on your website. A ticker is a full-width strip rather than a block, so it fits a one-page site without costing it a screenful.

Questions from Restaurants, cafés and bars.
- Will it slow down my site?
- It loads after your page does and fetches nothing until then, so your menu and your booking link paint first. The script is a few kilobytes.
- Can I show only the reviews that mention the food?
- Not by keyword. You can tag reviews yourself and limit a widget to a tag, which is the same outcome with you deciding rather than a keyword match deciding — worth the few minutes it takes.
- What about the one-star from someone who never came in?
- Leave it unpublished. Nothing reaches your site until you publish it, and you can unpublish later without deleting anything.
