Fire, oak,
and time.
Ember & Oak is a live-fire kitchen in France built around one idea: real ingredients, cooked slowly over oak and applewood, served without pretense. No shortcuts, no heat lamps — just a hearth, a butcher's counter, and a room that feels like supper at a friend's table.

Marketing voor restaurants in France: wat is anders
Marketing voor restaurants in France betekent werken binnen een specifieke lokale context, niet een vertaalde versie van het Amerikaanse draaiboek. French searchers frequently check PagesJaunes alongside Google, and a business absent from it can look less established to a local searcher. A SIRET business registration number is a standard, expected credibility marker on a French business website. Formal, well-written French copy — not a rough translation — matters more here than in most markets; a page that reads as machine-translated undercuts trust quickly.
Waarom marketing voor restaurants anders is
De knelpunten waar wij voor elke restaurant-klant rekening mee houden.
- Search intent splits between "hungry right now" (hours, menu, directions) and "planning ahead" (reservations, events) — one homepage has to serve both without confusing either
- Menus change often, and a site that requires a developer to update a price or a daily special quietly falls out of date
- Delivery platforms often outrank the restaurant's own site for its own name, taking a cut of every order that should've been direct
Wat er echt toe doet
A menu that's genuinely easy to update, not a PDF buried three clicks deep
Reservation and online-ordering integration that keeps orders direct instead of routed through third-party platforms
Google Business Profile optimized with current hours, photos, and menu — the first thing most diners actually check
Fast load times on mobile, since most "near me" searches happen on a phone standing outside
Wat is inbegrepen
Wat een echt restaurant-traject omvat, niet zomaar een generieke pakketlijst.
Your reputation matters as much as your ranking

Vertrouwenssignalen die ertoe doen

Belasting- & prijscontext
French VAT (TVA) is 20% standard, with a reduced 10% rate applying to many home-renovation and repair services specifically.
Zakelijke kalender
August is famously the month much of France effectively pauses — plenty of businesses close entirely, and campaigns launched that month routinely underperform.

Veelgemaakte fouten die wij zien
Waar marketing voor restaurants meestal tekortschiet.
- Letting a PDF menu be the only menu online, which is slow to load, impossible to search, and often outdated
- No clear "order direct" path, so every online order defaults to a delivery platform instead of the restaurant's own margin
- Outdated hours or closed-permanently listings left uncorrected on Google, which quietly kills walk-in traffic
