How can we improve theme options for restaurant businesses on ecommerce platforms?

Topic summary

Main issue: Limited restaurant-specific themes and built-in tools on Shopify, especially for table reservations.

Context: With the health crisis, table reservations are critical for restaurants. Users report that available apps are not always sufficient, highlighting a gap in native solutions.

Requested improvements: More restaurant-focused theme options (templates tailored to eateries). Native or better-integrated table reservation features, reducing reliance on third-party apps.

Impact: Without these tools, businesses may consider switching platforms, suggesting Shopify’s offerings aren’t fully covering sector-specific needs.

Definitions: “Themes” are design templates for online stores. “Apps” are third-party extensions to add functionality.

Status: No decisions or official updates mentioned. The request is open and seeks platform action to address the feature gap.

Hi there!
Just a suggestion, I don’t know what you are basing some things on for shopify but there is a lot missing. For example for restaurants, on shopify there is not enough theme proposal, with the health crisis, table reservations are important, but again there is a lack, apps are not always enough. Can you try to do something for that? It would be a shame to have to go elsewhere when you can do something for companies in all sectors, but there with what there is it seems that all sectors of activity do not have the complete tools. I thank you in advance for your attention. Sincerely.
