Real widgetA real locator capture. This version is designed for a multi-location food brand where opening hours and a quick route to the nearest branch decide the visit. Open the full-size example to search it. Fornaio is an invented concept brand using sample data.
Built around the search
Move a hungry visitor from search to the right location quickly.
A restaurant locator has one short job: answer where, whether it is open and what the guest should do next without making them inspect every branch.
- 01
Make open locations easy to identify.
Show each branch's opening hours and give visitors an open-now filter, so a nearby result is useful at the time they are searching.
- 02
Carry the restaurant brand onto the map.
Use logo markers, familiar colours, type, spacing and corner styles so the locator feels like the next section of the site rather than an inserted plugin.
- 03
Keep directions and contact one tap away.
Put the useful branch details and actions with every result, laid out for a guest standing on a phone as well as someone planning on desktop.
Search and discovery
A visitor finds the nearest useful location without scanning the whole list.
The locator opens, the visitor types a town or postcode, and results reorder by distance. Search, filters, labels and layout are settings you control, not fixed behaviour.
Start with the spreadsheet you already maintain. Import a CSV, review the locations, then keep the same embed as the list changes.

Before you choose
Questions buyers ask about this setup.
- Can visitors filter for restaurants that are open now?
- Yes. Add opening hours to the locations and enable the open-now filter so visitors can narrow the results at the time they search.
- Can every branch have different hours and links?
- Yes. Each location carries its own address, phone number, website, opening hours and categories, so branch details do not have to be identical.
- Can the map markers use our logo?
- Yes. Logo markers are one of the available marker treatments, alongside dots and clustered pins, with colours and visible controls set in the design dashboard.
- Who pays for the map traffic?
- You connect your own Mapbox or Google Maps key. That provider bills map usage directly; the Handled subscription covers the locator product, location capacity and team seats.
Give every restaurant a location page people can actually use.
Start with the restaurant design shown above, import a few real branches and test the open-now journey on your own website before paying.
