Restaurant site that makes the case for ordering direct instead of through an app
Tap a number to see what it does
Toggle between "delivery app" and "direct" and the numbers recalculate in front of you. Same three items, two totals, and the difference stated in dollars. It makes the case for ordering direct in about three seconds — no amount of copy about supporting local business does that.
Pickup and delivery ordered straight from the site
Why it matters
Marketplace commission is the largest avoidable cost most restaurants carry. Every order that comes direct is margin the kitchen keeps instead of renting access to its own regulars
Change a price or mark something sold out from a phone
Why it matters
A stale menu embarrasses you at dinner service and a PDF guarantees one. This removes the developer from the loop entirely
Customers say they've arrived and staff bring it out
Why it matters
A small build that measurably lifts pickup orders, especially with families and in bad weather
Hours, location, and menu structured for search and map results
Why it matters
This is how most people actually decide where to eat, and it's the difference between showing up in "food near me" and not
Collect regulars' details at the point of ordering
Why it matters
Restaurants live on repeat custom, and almost none have a way to reach the people who already like them. It's the cheapest way to fill a quiet Tuesday
A separate flow capturing headcount and lead time
Why it matters
Usually the highest-margin work a kitchen does, and usually handled badly over voicemail
Site, menu management, and direct ordering wired to the kitchen's existing POS where possible. Typically 4–6 weeks from receiving menu content and food photography — the photos are usually what sets the pace.
