About this Product

Stop paying 15–30% per order to the aggregators. This is a build-to-order WooCommerce plugin that turns your existing WordPress site into a commission-free online ordering and food-delivery system — designed, installed and supported on your own server by ECOSIRE, not a one-click marketplace download.

We build a visual food menu on top of WooCommerce products and a custom menu_category taxonomy, with add-ons, modifiers and product variations (size, spice level, extras) rendered as WooCommerce product add-on fields that flow straight into the cart and order line items. Customers choose delivery, pickup or dine-in at checkout, and the plugin enforces the right rules for each mode.

Delivery zones are defined by radius (via a geocoding lookup) or postcode lists, each with its own delivery fee and minimum order — implemented as WooCommerce shipping zones plus a custom fee calculation hooked into woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees. Order time-slot scheduling and a store open/closed status are driven by your wp-admin opening-hours settings and validated server-side before checkout, so customers can only book a slot you can actually fulfil.

The build also covers tips, minimum order thresholds, and packaging charges as configurable cart fees, plus an order-status workflow (received → preparing → out for delivery → completed) that fires WordPress actions you can hook for SMS/email/printer notifications. Everything is HPOS-compatible (custom order tables), works with your existing payment gateway, and is exposed through the WooCommerce REST API for kitchen-display or POS integrations.

ECOSIRE writes the code to WordPress coding standards, installs it on staging then production, and hands over documentation. Honest delivery: typically 1–3 weeks depending on scope. You own the code — no per-order fees, ever.

What you get

Custom WooCommerce restaurant-ordering plugin packaged as a versioned ZIP, installed on your WordPress site

Installation on your staging environment first, then promotion to production after sign-off

Configured menu categories, sample dishes, add-ons and at least one delivery zone matching your real setup

wp-admin settings panel for opening hours, time slots, zones, fees, tips and store status

HPOS compatibility verification and a checkout test pass across delivery, pickup and dine-in

Handover documentation plus a short walkthrough of the admin workflow and order statuses

Who this is for

Independent restaurant owner

Runs one or two locations and is tired of losing 15–30% of every ticket to delivery aggregators. Wants customers ordering directly on their own site with delivery, pickup and dine-in handled cleanly.

Cloud kitchen operator

Runs a delivery-only brand (or several) and needs tight control over delivery zones, time slots and minimum orders so the kitchen never accepts orders it can't fulfil on time.

Web agency / freelance developer

Manages WordPress sites for restaurant clients and wants a properly engineered, HPOS-compatible ordering plugin built and supported by a specialist instead of stitching together five conflicting off-the-shelf plugins.

Frequently Asked Questions about Restaurant Online Ordering & Food Delivery

How long does it take to get the plugin built and live?

This is build-to-order, not an instant download. After a short scoping call to confirm your menu structure, delivery zones and order modes, typical delivery is 1–3 weeks depending on complexity. We build it, install it on a staging copy of your WordPress site first, get your sign-off, then promote it to production. You'll get a realistic date in writing before we start.

What do ongoing support and updates look like after delivery?

You own the code and there are no per-order fees. The build includes a support window for bug fixes and questions after go-live. Because WooCommerce and WordPress release updates regularly (including HPOS changes), we offer an optional maintenance arrangement to keep the plugin compatible with new WooCommerce/WordPress versions and PHP releases. Without it, the plugin keeps working but compatibility updates are billed per request.

Does this really avoid the aggregator commissions?

Yes. Orders are placed on your own WordPress site and paid through your own WooCommerce payment gateway, so there is no third-party platform taking a percentage of each ticket. The only fees are your normal payment-processor charges. The trade-off is honest: you handle your own delivery logistics (or your own drivers), which the plugin supports via zones, slots and status updates but does not magically staff for you.

Will it work with my existing site, theme and payment gateway?

It's built to run on your current WooCommerce store. It uses your existing payment gateway, is HPOS / custom-order-tables compatible, and we test it against your active theme during the staging phase. If your site uses WPML or multisite, we account for that in scope. We do require a reasonably current WooCommerce and PHP version; if you're on something outdated we'll flag it during scoping.

Can it integrate with my kitchen display, POS or a delivery driver app?

The order-status workflow fires standard WordPress actions, and orders are accessible through the WooCommerce REST API, so integrations with kitchen-display systems, receipt printers, POS or third-party driver dispatch are possible. Basic webhook/notification hooks are part of the build; a full bespoke integration with a specific external system is scoped and quoted as an add-on.
