Does Your Restaurant Website Meet the Rules?
Reservation forms collect personal data. Google Maps embeds leak visitor IPs. Menu PDFs might contain unlicensed photos. Most restaurant owners have no idea their website has these issues.
Häufige Probleme für restaurants & cafés
Reservation data is personal data
Names, emails, phone numbers and dietary preferences collected through booking forms all fall under GDPR. You need a privacy policy that covers this.
Google Maps shares visitor data with Google
That embedded map showing your location sends every visitor's IP address to Google. A German court ruled this violates GDPR without consent.
Menu photos might be copyrighted
Food photos pulled from the internet or provided by a designer without proper licensing can trigger demand letters from agencies like Getty or CopyTrack.
Delivery platform tracking pixels
If you use Uber Eats, Deliveroo or Thuisbezorgd integrations, their tracking scripts may fire before cookie consent.

The ruling awarded €100 per affected visitor, triggering mass claims across Germany. In the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens has fined hospitality businesses for collecting reservation data without adequate privacy policies.
