Worth saying plainly, because it is the part you do not have to pay anyone to rebuild. The bones are fine.
Ranked by what would move the needle most for a restaurant. Each one lists what it actually means for you, not just what is technically wrong.
Behind every website is a hidden summary that tells Google what a business is: hours, address, price range, cuisine, menu, rating. Yours does not have one. The site currently identifies itself only as a generic "organization."
This is the biggest single item on the list. It is why your hours, price range and star rating do not show up under your name in search results the way they do for competitors. It also feeds the map pack, which is where people searching "breakfast near me" actually look.
There are 72 images across the six pages, and not one has a text label. Google cannot see a picture, it can only read the label attached to it.
So none of your food photography is working for you in Google Images, and screen readers skip all of it, which is also an accessibility problem. For a restaurant, where the food photos are the whole pitch, this is a lot of unused value.
Your Monthly Specials page has the exact same search title and description as your Menu page. Both say "Restaurant Menu in Hazlet, NJ."
When two pages look identical to Google, it picks one and mostly ignores the other. Your specials page is effectively invisible right now, which is a shame because specials are exactly the kind of thing people search for.
The description Google shows under your Contact page in search results currently reads "Explore open positions at our aviation inspired restaurant." That is the careers page text, copied onto the wrong page.
Someone searching for your phone number or address sees a hiring ad. Small thing, quick fix, but it is costing clicks from people who are ready to walk in.
Your homepage loads 2.7 MB across 51 separate requests, and 1.9 MB of that is images. One logo file alone is 404 KB. None of the photos use the modern compressed formats, which typically cut image weight by half or better with no visible quality loss.
On a phone on a weak signal, that is the difference between a customer waiting and a customer leaving. Google also uses load speed as a ranking factor.
The whole site is six pages, and two of them are very thin: Monthly Specials is 176 words and Careers is 252.
Every page is a separate chance to show up in a search. Right now there is nothing targeting the searches that actually bring people in: BYOB, catering, breakfast near Hazlet, private events, and so on. This is the slow-burn item and the main thing ongoing work would build.
Careers and Contact have no preview image set. When someone shares those links on Facebook or in a text, they show up as a bare link with no photo.
The other four pages are set up correctly, so this is a matter of filling in the gaps.
The homepage has two main headlines where there should be one. Search engines use the main headline to understand what a page is about, and two of them splits the signal.
Minor on its own. Listed because it is a five minute fix on the page Google looks at hardest.
This is the part that makes the number at the top of this page move. Same report, same link, updated monthly, so you can watch it climb instead of taking anyone's word for it.
