Restaurant Online Ordering Engine – Commission-Free Takeout & Delivery

In today’s competitive restaurant industry, having a direct channel for online orders is essential for profitability and brand control. Many restaurants find themselves trapped in a cycle of paying steep, unsustainable commissions to third-party delivery apps. These platforms not only erode profit margins on every single order but also put a wall between the restaurant and its customers, taking ownership of the valuable data and customer relationship.

The Restaurant Online Ordering Engine is designed to solve this problem by putting you back in control. We build a professional and efficient ordering system directly on your own WordPress website, creating a direct, commission-free channel between you and your hungry customers. This empowers you to build your brand, retain your customers, and, most importantly, keep the profits you work so hard to earn.

From an easy-to-navigate online menu to a streamlined checkout process, this Engine provides a complete solution tailored specifically for restaurants. It provides the framework to manage your online takeout and delivery operations with ease and financial efficiency.

Problems Solved …

  • Commissions

The SiteEngine Difference
An online ordering system should be a profit center, not a drain on your revenue. Our approach is to build you a self-contained, commission-free ordering platform that you control. We don't just link to an external service; we engineer an integrated system where your menu, ordering, and payments all live under your brand on your website. This gives you a powerful financial and marketing advantage.
  • Dedicated Restaurant Platform: We build your system by integrating Oracle GloriaFood, a platform designed specifically for restaurants to take commission-free online orders. We handle the entire account and profile setup for your restaurant.

Why This Works For You ...

The Restaurant Online Ordering Engine offers an immediate and significant return on your investment by completely eliminating the high commission fees charged by third-party delivery apps. For a restaurant processing just $5,000 in online orders per month, a 25% commission fee amounts to $1,250 in lost revenue every single month. By investing in this Engine, you replace that variable, profit-draining percentage with a system you control.

Your Competitive Advantage: Your competitors are giving away up to 30% of their revenue on every single delivery order to third-party apps and losing control of their customer relationships. Your restaurant, powered by this Engine, will have a direct, commission-free ordering channel. This massive financial advantage allows you to offer more competitive pricing, invest in higher quality ingredients, or simply enjoy higher profit margins, all while building a loyal customer base that your competition can’t access.
