How to Connect Your Own Domain to Your Restaurant Website

Every Restzo storefront starts on a restzo.com subdomain — it works from day one, no setup required. But if you already own a domain like yourrestaurant.com, connecting it means that's the address on your signage, your Google listing, and your QR codes, instead of a domain with someone else's brand name in it.

Here's why it matters, and exactly how to set it up.

Why Your Own Domain Matters

• Brand trust — a domain that matches your restaurant's name looks established. A generic subdomain reads as a free trial or a template site.
• Consistency everywhere — the same address on your signage, business cards, Google Business Profile, and QR codes, instead of two different links to keep track of.
• Search ranking is tied to your domain — every review, backlink, and social mention builds authority under your domain, not a shared platform subdomain.
• You already own it — most restaurants that have ever had even a basic website already paid for a domain. There's no reason to let it sit idle.

How to Connect Your Domain

This is a one-time setup, available on the Growth and Pro plans, done entirely from your dashboard — no developer or code required.

1. Go to Settings → Custom Domain in your dashboard and enter your domain (e.g. yourrestaurant.com).
2. Add one DNS record at whatever registrar you bought the domain from (GoDaddy, Namecheap, BigRock, Hostinger, and similar all support this) — Restzo shows you the exact record to add.
3. Click Verify. DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to take effect, so this may not succeed immediately — that's expected, not an error.
4. Set it as your primary domain once it shows Verified. Your old restzo.com link keeps working and quietly redirects, so nothing you've already shared breaks.
