Does my restaurant website need to be rebuilt to add online ordering?

No. Food-Ordering.com integrates with your existing website regardless of the platform. The ordering system can be embedded via an iframe or linked from a button on your existing website. For WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and custom websites, integration requires adding a single line of code or a button link. We handle the ordering system; you keep your existing website.

What is the difference between embedded ordering and a standalone ordering URL?

Embedded ordering places the menu and checkout directly inside your restaurant website — the customer never leaves your site. A standalone ordering URL is a separate web address (e.g. order.yourrestaurant.com) that the customer visits to order. Both options work with Food-Ordering.com. Embedded is cleaner for UX; standalone is simpler to set up and works from QR codes.

How does a QR code ordering integration work for table service?

Each table in the restaurant has a QR code that links to the table's ordering URL. When a customer scans the code, the ordering system opens with the table number pre-set. The customer orders from the menu, pays online, and the order routes to the kitchen with the table number displayed. No paper menus, no staff order-taking required for the main course ordering process.

Three integration options

Option 1: Embedded ordering (iframe)

The Food-Ordering.com menu and checkout are embedded directly inside your existing website page. Customers never leave your site — they browse, order, and pay within your own branded environment. Works with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and any website that allows HTML embedding.

Best UX Recommended

Option 2: Standalone ordering URL

The ordering system lives at a separate URL (e.g. order.yourrestaurant.com or yourrestaurant.food-ordering.com). An "Order Online" button on your website links to this URL. Simple to implement — just add a button to your existing site that links to the ordering URL.

Simplest setup

Option 3: QR code menu (table service or takeaway)

Each table (or pickup area) has a unique QR code. Scanning the code opens the ordering system with the table/collection reference pre-populated. No app required for the customer. Works for dine-in ordering without paper menus, and for click-and-collect at the counter.

Technical requirements

Adding Food-Ordering.com to your restaurant website requires:

Access to your website's page editor or HTML (to add the embed code or button link)
A domain or subdomain to point at the ordering system (for standalone URL option)
An SSL certificate on your main website (standard on all modern hosting platforms)

We provide the embed code, the ordering URL, and step-by-step instructions for all common website platforms. Most integrations are completed in under one hour.

Platforms we integrate with

WordPress: Paste the embed code into a page block. No plugin required.
Squarespace: Use a Code Block to add the embed on any page.
Wix: Use the Wix HTML Embed element.
Custom HTML/PHP sites: Paste the iframe code into any page template.
No website: We configure a standalone ordering URL — your ordering system works without any other website.

Zero platform commission: Orders placed through your restaurant website via Food-Ordering.com carry zero commission. The £2,500 one-time licence covers all orders, forever. At typical restaurant order values, this represents a saving of £3–7 per order compared to placing the same order through Deliveroo or Just Eat.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my Deliveroo/Just Eat listing while also taking direct orders?

Yes. Many restaurants operate both simultaneously. Platforms provide discovery and reach; direct ordering on your own website builds loyalty and retains margin. The strategy for most restaurants is to convert repeat customers to direct ordering (via packaging inserts, receipt prompts, social media), while keeping platform listings for new customer acquisition.

How long does setup take from purchase to first live order?

Menu entry and configuration typically takes 1–3 days. Website integration (adding the embed or button) takes under an hour. Most restaurants take their first live order within one week of purchase.
