Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server later, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address — so starting one size below the estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
Which tiers suit Restaurants & Food Businesses
Including the ones that do not, and why — that is usually the more useful half.
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Workable | Workable for a single small property or practice, though a shared database is the first thing to strain when bookings cluster. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS handles a booking engine and its database comfortably, with predictable performance when enquiries spike. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources matter here: a reservation that times out at the payment step is a booking you never see. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | Right once you are running several properties, or a property management system alongside the public site. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Reservation workloads are database-bound rather than compute-bound, so the extra physical capacity goes unused. |

Restaurants & Food in Greenock, business by business
These are not the same workload. Sized at the medium band, here is what each one actually needs.
| Business | Build | Tier | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Restaurants | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Two sharp peaks a day and almost nothing between them — capacity is sized for the dinner rush, not the afterno... |
| Cafés | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 80 GB | VPS | The morning rush is short, concentrated and unforgiving of a slow order screen. |
| Coffee Shops | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Mobile order-ahead moves the queue into the app, which means the spike hits the server instead of the counter. |
| Fast Food | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Kitchen display screens want sub-second updates: an order that appears late is food cooked late. |
| Food Delivery | 2 vCPU · 24 GB · 150 GB | VDS | Live tracking means a persistent connection per active order, which is a very different load from serving page... |
| Catering Companies | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Few, large, planned jobs: the system is a quoting and costing tool rather than a live order pipe. |
| Bakeries | 1 vCPU · 6 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Production is planned the night before against orders taken the day before — the deadline is the oven, not the... |
| Cloud Kitchens | 1 vCPU · 16 GB · 100 GB | VPS | Several brands out of one kitchen means several order streams competing for the same physical capacity. |
| Bars & Pubs | 1 vCPU · 8 GB · 80 GB | VPS | Weekend evenings and event nights carry almost all the load, and a big fixture rewrites the week. |
| Restaurant Chains | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 200 GB | VDS | A menu change has to reach every site consistently, and every site reports back — the centre carries both dire... |
| Food Manufacturing | 4 vCPU · 48 GB · 400 GB | VDS | Traceability is a legal obligation: every batch has to be followed from ingredient to pallet, and kept. |
