A restaurant website, plus the systems that take orders online, by phone and at the counter
A restaurant takes orders at the counter, on the phone and online. We build the website and set up the system behind each one: an ordering page that charges no commission, an AI receptionist for the calls your staff cannot get to, and one cash register system (POS) that collects every ticket. Start with the one that costs you the most today.

The pieces
Website, ordering page, phone answering and register
The website
A menu written as text that Google can read and phones load quickly, hours that match your Google listing, directions, parking notes and a catering request form. Web design explains how the site itself gets built.
Online ordering
An order button that opens your own checkout, where regulars pay you directly and no app takes a share. The commission-free ordering page works through the cost against DoorDash.
AI receptionist
At seven on a Friday every hand is on the line and the phone keeps ringing. We build an AI receptionist that picks up, takes the order from your menu and sends the ticket to the kitchen.
The register (POS)
The counter system the other pieces feed into, holding walk-in, phone and web tickets together with one menu to edit. The POS systems page covers hardware and switching.
Where to start
Matching the first fix to the problem
| If this sounds familiar | Start with | Because |
|---|---|---|
| If this sounds familiarRegulars order through an app and every order pays a commission | Start withOnline ordering | BecauseRepeat orders on your own site carry only a card fee |
| If this sounds familiarThe phone goes unanswered during the rush | Start withAI receptionist | BecauseA caller who gets no answer may order somewhere else |
| If this sounds familiarOrders get lost between the app tablets and the phone pad | Start withRegister (POS) | BecauseEvery ticket lands in one place, marked with its source |
| If this sounds familiarThere is no website, or the menu is a PDF | Start withWebsite | BecauseEvery other piece needs a page to link to |
| If this sounds familiarGoogle shows the wrong hours or an old menu | Start withLocal SEO | BecauseSearchers see your Google listing before they see your site |
You can start with one piece and add the others later. We plan the first one so the rest can connect to it where your systems allow.
Search
Getting found by people deciding where to eat
People looking for dinner search a dish, a cuisine or "near me", and Google usually puts map listings above the regular results. Your Google Business Profile does a lot of the selling before anyone reaches your site.
So the first job is the profile itself: correct regular and holiday hours, the menu link, the order link, current photos and replies to reviews. The second is a website whose menu is plain text, so Google can match it to searches for the dishes you serve. A PDF or a photo of the menu gives it much less to work with. Our local SEO checklist walks through both.
Our work
A restaurant site we built: Alaeddin's Pizza
Alaeddin's Pizza is a family-run pizzeria in Clifton that first opened in Paterson in 1998. Its website puts the full menu on the page as text, gives each specialty pie a page of its own, and has pages for Clifton, Paterson and Passaic and for several nearby neighborhoods. A group of pages answers searches for halal pizza and halal food, and the main pages also come in Spanish.
The site's job is to be found and to answer questions before someone orders. Its Order Online buttons link to the ordering service the restaurant already used, and the catering and party pages steer larger orders to a phone call.
We are based in Cedar Grove and meet restaurant owners in person across North Jersey, before service or on the slow day of the week. For restaurants in the rest of New Jersey, and in New York and Connecticut, the project runs remotely.

Questions
Restaurant questions before a proposal
Our menu changes every week. Who keeps it current?
You can edit items, prices and sold-out dishes yourself in the POS or the ordering admin, and the change shows wherever that menu appears. If you would rather send us the changes, we make them for you.
Can the AI receptionist and the ordering page share one menu?
Yes. They can be set up to read from the same menu, so a dish marked sold out stops being offered online and over the phone as soon as it is marked.
Can you handle catering orders?
Catering needs more than a cart: a head count, a date, a delivery window and often a deposit. We set that up as a request form on the website that sends the details to you, or as a separate catering menu with its own lead time in the ordering system.
Does this work for a food truck, a café or a bakery?
Yes. The same pieces apply to any counter that takes orders. A food truck may only need online ordering with pickup times, while a café with a long morning line gets more from a POS with fast checkout.
Should we bring our delivery app statements to the first call?
If you can. A few recent monthly statements show how many orders came through each app, what they totaled and what the app charged, so we can price the ordering side from your numbers instead of guesses. Also tell us which POS you use now, if any, and roughly how many calls come in on a Friday night.
