For sushi counters, omakase rooms and small Japanese dining rooms where the seat count IS the business. The most spacious template here: one photograph at full width, one sentence set large, and a set menu instead of a list. Built for two sittings a night rather than a full evening of walk-ins.
Say how many seats and how many sittings, in the first sentence - it is the question every booking email asks. Price the omakase clearly and state the length in hours, and let people tell you about allergies when they book rather than when they sit down.
A twelve-seat counter has a different website problem from a hundred-cover dining room. Availability is genuinely scarce, the experience is the product, and a visitor who cannot picture what will happen is unlikely to commit.
Omakase, set menu or a la carte changes what a booking means. Say how long a sitting lasts, what a set menu includes and whether the chef decides, because that is the information a first-time guest needs to say yes.
When there are two sittings a night, publishing that fact is more persuasive than any description of the fish. Make the number visible and give the visitor a way to take a seat immediately, which is what set up bookings configures.
A counter template that shows twenty images of individual pieces looks like a catalogue. One image at full width, with space around it, reads as a room worth travelling to.
Replace the set menu with yours, set your sittings, and let the page do what a small counter does in person: say exactly what the evening will be, then let people decide.
Yes - you can start building and customizing the Sushi Bar template for free. The Online Booking and Menu features need a paid plan (included in Starter), and the 14-day Starter free trial covers everything in this template.
It comes with 4 ready-made pages: Home, Menu, About, Contact.
It is set up for Online Booking, Menu. Those are built in rather than add-ons, so they work from the moment the site is created.
It arrives with 2 bookable services (First sitting - 6pm, Second sitting - 8.30pm), so you are editing a working business rather than filling in an empty layout. Replace the demo content with your own as you go.
Sora for headings and Inter for body text, on a palette built around #161616 and #b8321f.
No. The Sushi Bar template is edited visually in the drag-and-drop builder - no coding at any point.
