Food delivery website development

A food delivery website takes orders directly: menu with photos, cart, delivery zones, online payment, orders sent to the kitchen. The venue pays no aggregator commission and builds its own customer base. It takes up to 15 working days.

Ordering food online is now routine: people choose a dish, pay and track delivery from their phone. Your own website brings direct orders, a customer base and control over your menu, prices and promotions.

Why build a website when delivery apps exist?

• Direct orders with no platform commission and your own delivery terms.
• Your own customer base for loyalty programmes, newsletters and repeat orders.
• A full menu with photos, ingredients, allergens and add-ons.
• Visibility in Google for searches such as “sushi delivery + district”.

Delivery apps help with reach, while your website serves as the main channel for regular customers.

What does a delivery website build include?

• Menu structure, dish pages and a cart that work well on phones.
• Delivery zones and times, minimum order value and pickup.
• Online payments, order status notifications and order transfer to the kitchen or CRM.
• Promo codes, loyalty points and one-tap reorders.
• SEO: category and district pages, LocalBusiness markup and fast pages measured by Core Web Vitals.
• Google Business Profile setup and order analytics.

What do we focus on?

Mobile first. Most orders come from phones, so we test the cart and checkout on small screens first.

Navigation. The menu, prices, delivery terms and contacts are one or two taps away.

Speed. Dish photos are optimised so pages load quickly on mobile connections.

Which technologies do we use?

Most venues do well on WooCommerce or Shopify: the menu as a catalogue, cart and promo codes. Payments via LiqPay, WayForPay or Monobank, fiscal receipts via Checkbox. Delivery zones are drawn on Google Maps. Orders go to the venue's POS system, such as Poster, or a CRM like KeyCRM. Status updates go by Telegram bot or SMS. For chains with several kitchens and their own app we build on Next.js and Laravel.

How long does development take?

From our experience, a delivery site with cart and online payment takes up to 15 working days after the brief is agreed and we receive the priced menu, dish photos, delivery terms and payment provider access. A simple menu site with ordering via messenger takes up to 10 working days. Kitchen system integration or a custom app is estimated after the brief.

What do we need from the venue?

• The menu in a spreadsheet: names, ingredients, weight, prices, add-ons.
• Dish photos. If you have none, we arrange a shoot.
• A map of delivery zones with the fee and minimum order for each.
• A payment provider contract, or help setting one up.

How do you promote a food delivery website?

• Google Business Profile with photos, menu and reviews for "pizza delivery near me".
• SEO for categories and districts. First visible results in about 3 months.
• Google Ads and Meta Ads targeted at delivery areas around lunch and dinner.
• Email and loyalty for repeat orders from your base via SendPulse or a Telegram bot.

Cost

The price depends on menu size, the number of delivery zones, payment methods and integrations with the kitchen, CRM or accounting system. We quote individually after a brief.

FAQ

How long does it take to build a food delivery website?

From our experience, up to 15 working days for a site with cart and online payment, and up to 10 working days for a menu site with messenger ordering. Timing starts after the brief and materials.

Can we take payments online?

Yes. We connect LiqPay, WayForPay or Monobank, plus Checkbox fiscal receipts.

How do orders reach the kitchen?

Automatically: into the POS system, a CRM or the kitchen’s Telegram chat. We pick the method that fits how your kitchen works.

Do we need a website if we are already on delivery apps?

Apps give reach, the website gives commission-free orders and your own customer base for repeat orders. Most venues run both.

Can delivery zones have different prices?

Yes. Zones are drawn on a map, each with its own fee, minimum order and delivery time.
