PC or otherwise?
My advice for the Gol is to go to the Firestorm map and use the burnoff tower. When I got it kills from any of the platforms on it counted. Plus you could shoot up (and down) to other platforms to get credit. It helps if you are on a high ticket server.
The other map is a pain since people can just blow up the tower and it becomes a waste of time.

Making a static webpage is easy as taking pictures, writing copy, dumping it on something like 121MyWebSite.
Advertising costs money, but Google Adwords is an option.

When looking for a restaurant, I'm usually selecting on these things;
- Location (Make sure it's easy to find, add map)
- Price-range (Can I afford to eat there?)
- Food (Does it look like it's edible? Do they have meat and coffee?)
Twatter and FB are completely ignored here. Other people will have other things that they select on, like having enough parking-space, or being able to order a low-salt dish.

That's the things I look at when comparing websites.

Websites do not reach out to people, they're there when people look for them. I expect the info to come when I google for it. If you want to actively reach out to people, you'll need more than a site that simply sits there.
I wouldn't want to have yet another business whine that I should visit them. Those shouty emails are usually marked as spam, regardless of the offer. While it may sound like a good idea to broadcast your existence, I wouldn't target "everyone", but rather those "looking for food". If your statement that you exist reaches me after dinner, then it will be deleted without reading.
Want to make a fuss and get some customers? Slash prices in the opening-week, invite students for a free meal or whatever. If it's edible and well priced, word will spread on it's own.

I made a website for a friends hotel a couple of years ago.
After doing some light SEO to get it up the search ratings, trying to get linked to from other sites, adding it to web directories, creating a Facebook page and Twitter account then getting people to like, link and share, adding Trip Advisor ratings, having a page to link to everything that might draw someone to the area, after that they paid someone to make it shitter.
I think that in the UK Trip Advisor carries a lot of weight these days, anyone who is prepared to search for a hotel or restaurant online will also read reviews. If the reviews are sh*t then they will move on.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Search engine optimisation obviously. Choose ten keywords and build all the back-end of the site so that these will be everywhere to increase ranking. Have your site linked to by other sites.

He should list his hotels on tripadviser.com (or similar websites). And restaurants on zomato.com (or similar). They are much better source of traffic than doing SEO for his website.

I agree with this. It is very normal for the people to review the hotel here before taking the call.

Don't both with a website; it is hard to maintain.
Just use a blog service (wordpress, blogger) with your own domain name and the other social service (facebook, twitter, instagram, ... ) to pump up content.
I'd rather be phishing!

The first, last, and most important thing to do: don't ask developers about marketing strategies. Ask potential customers where they look, what they want to see. You might get information that gets customers interested, rather than information that gets developers interested.
Unless of course, your friend is targeting developers only?

Most of the developers can be a potential customer as well in this case.

I would say that would be very difficult so I would take the other approach.
Whenever I see a restaurant I want to visit I look for their website. So marketting isn't needed. However, I won't go to a restaurant if basic things aren't addressed on the web site:
1) Picture of Dining area
2) Suggested Attire
3) Hours
4) Location and Map (If I find a restaurant from the web this is crucial)
5) HTML Menu (I will view a pdf but it really ticks me off)
Same with a hotel, usually I land on a hotel's website through other means but make the decision to even bother based on the availability of the information that is important in a clear, non-obtuse manner.
Focus on that, the rest will follow. You can never compete with SEO spam, however.
