Online Menu and Ordering Website Design for Restaurants
Why selling orders directly from your own site reduces the commission you're currently paying delivery apps.
Delivery apps solve a real visibility problem, but charge a significant commission on every order. An ordering system on your own site lets you capture that same demand without paying that commission on every transaction.
The Commission Argument
The same math that applies to direct hotel bookings applies here: every order through a third-party app pays a commission that comes directly out of your margin.
What a Self-Owned Ordering System Needs
- An always-current menu, editable without depending on a developer
- A simple ordering and payment process, with no unnecessary steps
- Clear order status notifications for the customer
- Payment options your customers recognize and trust
Want to Sell Orders Without Paying a Third-Party Commission?
We build online ordering systems designed specifically for restaurants.
This Doesn't Replace Your Delivery App Presence
Most successful restaurants keep a presence on delivery apps for visibility, while building their own direct ordering channel for repeat customers, where no commission applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I drop delivery apps entirely?
Not necessarily; many restaurants use both channels in parallel while building their direct ordering base.
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes, a good digital menu system lets you update dishes and prices without depending on a developer.
What payment gateways should I accept?
Depends on your market; including local options alongside international ones builds extra trust.
