- Registry operator
- Identity Digital

How .restaurant fits into the domain system
IANA’s .restaurant registry record dates from July 2014. It identifies Identity Digital as the registry operator. A generic ending naming restaurant. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.

Questions about .restaurant domains
Does .restaurant include table booking?
No. Reservation software or a telephone booking process must be arranged separately.
Can it point to a menu page?
Yes. A useful small site can start with readable menu and visiting information.
Should I repeat restaurant in the name?
Often the ending already supplies that word. Compare a concise venue name with the full phrase.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
