Restaurant websites are simpler than most, and still they collect more than a menu would suggest. The contact page nearly always embeds Google Maps, which sets Google cookies and sends the visitor's IP address and approximate location. Reservation widgets from OpenTable, Resy or Tock load in an iframe and collect names, phone numbers, party size and dining history under their own terms as well as yours. Online ordering, whether built into the site or through a partner, runs payments through Stripe or a similar processor and stores order history and delivery addresses.
Marketing adds Meta Pixel and Google Ads for local campaigns, Google Analytics for traffic, and a Mailchimp form for the events list or loyalty program. Instagram feeds and YouTube videos of the kitchen set social platform cookies. Gift card sales, catering inquiry forms and job applications each collect personal details, and reCAPTCHA sends behavioral signals to Google from every form.
Most restaurant sites are built by a designer or a platform and launched without a privacy policy. VerifiedPrivacy scans the site, identifies the map, reservation, ordering, payment and marketing services loading, and generates a Privacy Policy, Terms of Service and Cookie Policy that name them in plain language. It takes a few minutes and the scan is free. Enter your restaurant's website below to begin.
Frequently asked questions
Does a restaurant website really need a privacy policy?
If the site has a contact form, a reservation widget, online ordering, a newsletter signup or Google Analytics, it collects personal information, and California's CalOPPA applies to any commercial site doing so from state residents. Payment processors and ad platforms also require a policy in their terms. A one-page menu site with no forms or tracking has less to disclose, but the scan will tell you which kind you have.
Do I need to mention OpenTable or Resy?
Reservation widgets load in an iframe from the provider's domain and collect guest details under the provider's privacy policy as well as yours. Naming the provider and linking to its policy is the clear approach. The scanner detects iframes and cookies, and the generated Privacy Policy includes a general third-party booking disclosure; add the specific provider name when you edit the documents if it was not detected.
Is Google Maps a privacy concern?
An embedded Google Maps block loads scripts from Google that set cookies and transmit the visitor's IP address and approximate location, and Google may use that data for its own purposes. European regulators have treated map embeds like any other third-party service requiring disclosure and, in some cases, consent. When the scan detects Google Maps, the generated documents include its disclosure automatically.
What about online ordering through a third party like Toast or DoorDash?
If ordering happens on the partner's site after a link click, the partner's policy governs that transaction, but your site should still explain that you link to it and what you receive back. If the ordering system is embedded on your pages, it is collecting data through your site and belongs in your policy. The questionnaire's selling and payment questions add the relevant sections either way.
How long does it take?
The scan finishes in about ten seconds. The questionnaire has fifteen questions about your business name, contact details, whether you sell online, and whether you serve EU or California visitors, and takes around two minutes. The documents are generated immediately and can be downloaded after a one-time $19 payment in HTML, Markdown and Word. The whole process fits into a lunch break.
