CTA GeneratorRestaurant websites are browsed by hungry visitors ready to act. A floating CTA button makes it effortless to order food, reserve a table, or call the restaurant — whether they're on the menu page, reading reviews, or checking your location.
Restaurant website visitors have some of the highest purchase intent of any industry — someone looking at your menu at 6pm on a Friday is almost certainly ready to order or reserve. Yet many restaurant websites bury their ordering link three clicks deep in the navigation. A floating 'Order Now' button captures this intent immediately. Data from restaurant ordering platforms shows that direct online orders have 15-25% higher profit margins than orders through third-party delivery apps, since you avoid their 15-30% commission fees. By linking your floating button to your own ordering system (Square Online, Toast, ChowNow) rather than DoorDash or Uber Eats, you keep more of each order's revenue. For restaurants that depend on reservations, a 'Reserve Table' button linking to OpenTable or Resy ensures that diners browsing your menu don't leave to search for availability on a separate platform. During peak hours, you could even swap the button to 'Join Waitlist' for a real-time wait management system.

Open the GeneratorFrequently Asked Questions
Can I link to DoorDash or Uber Eats?
Yes. Set the button URL to your restaurant's page on any delivery platform. Visitors click and go straight to ordering.
Can I have two buttons — one for orders and one for reservations?
CTA Button Generator creates one button at a time, but you can generate two buttons with different positions (e.g., bottom-left for reservations, bottom-right for orders) and paste both code snippets.
Should I link to my own ordering system or a third-party delivery app?
If you have your own ordering system (Toast, Square Online, ChowNow), link there first — you'll keep a much higher margin on each order since you avoid delivery app commission fees of 15-30%. Use third-party links only if you don't have a direct ordering option.
Can I change the button based on time of day or day of the week?
The exported code is static HTML + CSS, so it doesn't change automatically. However, you could use a simple JavaScript snippet to swap the button text or link based on the current time — for example, showing 'Order Lunch' before 3pm and 'Reserve for Dinner' after.
Will the button work on a single-page restaurant site built with Squarespace or Wix?
Yes. On Squarespace, paste the code into Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Footer. On Wix, use the Custom Code feature under Settings > Advanced. The button will float on top of your existing design.
