The Web Marketing Association is looking for the Best Restaurant Websites in the world as part of their 26th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at the WebAward Web site. The WebAwards is the standards defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including restaurant web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for restaurant web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2022.
“Restaurant industry marketing has been truly transformed by the Internet,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “People have many choices when it comes to how to spend their dining dollars and often the first thing they turn to is a restaurant’s website. Having that aspect of your restaurant website reviewed is just one benefit of participating in the annual WebAward program. Being named an ‘award-winner’ can help with marketing as well.”
Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the advertising category is judged against other advertising entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.
Here are the past Best Restaurant WebAward winners:
2021 – WillowTree and Dairy Queen for DAIRY QUEEN

Before the pandemic, grabbing lunch from a restaurant or prepared foods from a grocery store was frequent because consumers were at work, school, or out and about. Restaurant lunch visits experienced steep declines early in the pandemic when 78% of lunches were prepared and eaten at home, but with more consumers returning to worksites, schools, and regular midday routines, restaurant and other convenient lunches are recovering, reports The NPD Group.
Online and physical restaurant visits during lunch increased by 4% in the year ending September 2021 compared to a year ago when visits were down by -11% based on NPDs continual tracking of the U.S. foodservice industry. Although lunch traffic hasnt fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels, down 8% from September 2019, the increase in visits is a significant improvement over the double-digit declines experienced last year. According to NPDs recently released Future of Lunch study, restaurant lunch visits are forecast to grow by double-digits from 2021 through 2024, but the gain will be 2.4% below pre-pandemic levels.
In addition to returning to restaurants for lunch, consumers have also returned to convenient ways to prepare or source lunch. During the height of the pandemic, when many consumers were home, they had more time to heat their lunches, driving categories like soup and warm sandwiches. Now, with workplaces starting to open, kids at school, consumers working from home, and travelers returning to the road, easily transported categories, like packaged lunch and snack kits, are positioned to do well through 2024, finds the NPD study. Consumers will also look to retail ready-to-eat foods for convenient lunches.
Consumers are on-the-go now, and the lunch rush is coming back, which means consumers are looking for convenience, whether they prepare it or a restaurant or retailer does, says Darren Seifer, NPD food and beverage industry analyst. Food manufacturers, restaurant operators, and retailers all have opportunities to fulfill consumers lunch needs whether theyre commuting, staying at home, or a hybrid of the two.
