  • Why Accurate Opening Hours on Apple Maps Matter

Not only is that a lost sale, but it can also lead to negative reviews and a damaged reputation. In today’s digital world, accurate online information is critical for customer trust and local SEO.

    The Traditional Way: Why It’s a Hassle

    • Logging into Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, Facebook, and more—separately
    • Entering the same information over and over
    • Risking mistakes and inconsistencies that confuse customers
    • Forgetting to update one platform and dealing with outdated info

    Frequently asked questions

    Why now?

    Restaurants already trust Mobal to keep their listings accurate across Google and Apple. The website was the one part of their online presence still managed separately, with a different tool and a different login. Now it's part of the same system.

    Why does this matter for my restaurant?

    Every hour your site shows the wrong hours or an old menu is an hour a customer can be misled or turned away. And every evening spent editing a website is an evening away from the kitchen. Restaurant Websites removes both.

    What can I add to my site?

    Customers can buy gift cards directly on the site and book a table through an added widget like TableOnline. An ordering button links out to your provider, such as Wolt. Your location details, menu, hours, and special hours stay in sync with your Google and Apple listings.

    Which languages does it support?

    Choose from eight supported languages (English, Finnish, Swedish, Estonian, Russian, French, Spanish, and German) at launch and add translated versions of your site with a few clicks. More languages on request.

    What if I want a custom design?

    Restaurant Websites gives you a strong base built specifically for restaurants: the pages, layouts, and search foundations designed to help guests find and use your site. You can apply your own branding, colours, images, and pages on top.

    Can I keep my domain if I move from another builder?

    Yes. You hand over your domain and keep it.

    What does it cost?

    €29 per website per month, as an add-on. You can build and preview a site free in the demo before committing.
