For restaurants
Web security for restaurants who already have enough to worry about.
Online ordering, table bookings, gift-card sales, customer reviews, payment widgets embedded from a half-dozen platforms — every restaurant website has more moving parts than the kitchen.
Most restaurant websites quietly drift. The booking widget gets updated, the menu plugin gets an option toggled, the gift-card embed is from a vendor who released a new version last month. None of this lands in your inbox — until something breaks and a customer cannot order.
AuraWatch keeps an eye on your site for you. Every week (or every day, or every hour, depending on your plan), we run the same checks security professionals run against your homepage, your booking pages, and any subdomains we discover. We tell you when something changes — in plain English.
We are not the cheapest, but we are not the most expensive either, and every plan includes your whole team. Your manager, your web developer, your marketing agency, your point-of-sale support partner — they all see the same dashboard at no extra cost.
Real findings restaurants see in their first week
- Broken SSL on the booking page.
A separate subdomain for online bookings (very common —
book.ororder.) with an expiring or mis-issued certificate. Customers get a scary browser warning at the exact moment they are trying to give you money. - Exposed website admin pages.
The
/wp-adminor/adminpage reachable from the open internet, often with brute-force protection turned off. Subdomain discovery catches the oldstaging.subdomain too. - Customer email forms leaking data.
A contact form that submits over an unencrypted connection, or a newsletter embed on a page that mixes secure and insecure resources. Diners see padlock errors; modern browsers block submission.
- Outdated WordPress or Squarespace plugins with known security flaws.
Most restaurant sites run a content management system plus a stack of plugins. Our checks know about thousands of vulnerable plugin versions and tell you which ones you are running.
A note on payment compliance
If you take card payments through your website — even via a hosted embed from Stripe, Square, or your point-of-sale provider — you have PCI-DSS-adjacent obligations around the security of the page that hosts that embed. AuraWatch finds the things that fail those checks: weak encryption, mixed content, missing security headers, exposed admin pages. We are not a PCI auditor, but we surface the website-side issues a PCI auditor would flag.
