Online ordering for your restaurant — without the platform fees
Online food ordering has become the default for millions of customers across the UK and US. Restaurants that lack a direct ordering option are invisible to this audience, or worse — they only exist on third-party platforms that capture the customer relationship and charge steep commissions. Ordresto gives you a professional online ordering system that you own, at a fixed monthly cost with no commission on your sales.
What a complete online ordering system looks like
A proper online ordering setup has three layers: the customer-facing experience, the operational backend, and the data layer. The customer experience needs to be fast, mobile-optimised, and reassuring at checkout — especially around payment security. The operational backend must ensure orders reach the kitchen instantly, accurately, and with no manual steps. The data layer should give you visibility into your best-selling items, peak hours, and monthly revenue trends.
Ordresto delivers all three. The customer ordering page is fully responsive, conversion-optimised, and supports multiple payment methods including Apple Pay and Google Pay. The kitchen tablet integration ensures instant order receipt with sound alerts and automatic thermal printing. The analytics dashboard shows real-time sales, order history, and performance metrics.
Menu management is often underestimated. With Ordresto, you can update prices, toggle item availability, add photos, and manage modifier options directly from your phone. There is no waiting for a developer or webmaster — changes take effect immediately.
Delivery, collection, and dine-in: one system for all order types
Not every restaurant does home delivery. Some offer collection only, others combine delivery and collection, and many want to add dine-in QR ordering for tables. Ordresto handles all three from a single dashboard. You configure delivery zones with distance-based pricing, set collection slots, and enable table ordering with QR codes — all independently controlled.
For restaurants that manage their own drivers, the dispatch dashboard lets you assign orders manually or automatically based on driver availability. Customers receive a live GPS tracking link as soon as their order is on the way. Driver performance history is logged so you can identify your most reliable couriers.
Getting started without disrupting your existing workflow
Introducing a new system in a busy kitchen needs to be low-friction. Ordresto is designed to integrate alongside your existing setup, not replace it overnight. The kitchen tablet runs independently of your current point-of-sale system. The Stripe payment integration is straightforward and compatible with most accounting software exports. If you have an existing website, your Ordresto ordering link can be embedded via a button or iFrame.
Our support team works with every new restaurant during the first days of go-live. Setup assistance is available by chat and phone to ensure your menu is configured correctly, your delivery zones are accurate, and your kitchen team is comfortable with the tablet workflow.
