Looking to set up a food ordering system but don’t want to mess with all the technical stuff? We’ve got you.
No setting up, no coding, no issues. A complete out-of-the-box restaurant ecosystem starting at $49/mo.
Unlike general eCommerce solutions like WooCommerce, we’ve created UpMenu specifically to fit the needs of restaurant owners. With UpMenu, you’re getting:
No need to worry about any technicalities. We know you’re busy. Unlike other eCommerce platforms where you need to build the whole system by yourself, we’re giving you a ready product. All you need to do is sign up and let the magic happen.
Your own branded online ordering system allows your customers to order directly from your app and website. This means you’re able to skip the ghastly (up to 30%!) 3rd party commissions and capitalize on your business a hundred percent.
There aren’t any other WooCommerce alternatives that can offer you this much for so little.
Developing a functional mobile app alone can cost you anywhere from $40,000 to $60,000. Developing a fully functional WordPress site for your WooCommerce business is going to cost you a couple of extra grand. With UpMenu, you’re getting all of that for as little as $49 a month.
A high-quality website and app are great, but they alone won’t make your restaurant a success. We’re set on giving you all the tools you’re ever going to need to succeed. That’s why with UpMenu, you’re getting an entire marketing system.
Plan ahead and fill the tables. You don’t need any plugins to get all the extra features. Give your customers the comfort of hassle-free online reservations and increase your turnover.
Get this: a customer walks by your restaurant. There’s a QR code waiting to be scanned at the entrance. Curious, the customer scans the code. Suddenly, he finds himself inside your app, getting a 25% off of his first order. The mouthwatering pictures of your food combined with a discount are simply irresistible.
What’s more, your customer can order directly to the table and pay for his order – all in one app! Guess what—you’ve just won yourself a new customer.
Customize your app and your website to match your restaurant’s image. Upload yummy-looking photos of your food and your logo, change styles and colors, and keep your branding consistent.

Whether you’re looking to build an eCommerce online store or to build an ordering system for your restaurant, there are plenty of WooCommerce alternatives out in the market. Some of the biggest cons of WooCommerce is that you’re going to be needing a lot more than just a single WordPress plugin to make it work. If you’re looking to be running the entire restaurant system from your WooCommerce platform, you’re in for a ride. Since you have to set up everything on your own, chances are you’re going to be looking at a lot of system errors unless you pay a developer to set the system up for you. There are also plenty of paid plugins you’re going to have to purchase to make it functional.

Please note that these costs are estimates, and the actual expenses may vary based on individual business needs, customization requirements, geographic location, developer rates, and any additional factors. It’s advisable to carefully evaluate your specific needs, obtain quotes from developers, and review pricing details from hosting providers and plugin/theme developers for a more accurate estimation of the total costs involved.
When considering using WooCommerce for a restaurant website, it’s essential to weigh its suitability. While WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce website builder for WordPress websites, there are alternative options to consider.
In conclusion, while WooCommerce is a popular choice, exploring alternative eCommerce platforms that cater specifically to restaurants might be beneficial. Consider factors such as specialized features, customer support, pricing structure, and ease of use when determining the best fit for your restaurant’s online presence.
Disclaimer: before starting such a project, you should consider whether building your own system is the best solution. Depending on your needs, it is probably going to be more cost-effective to use a dedicated food ordering system.
The cost of building a restaurant ordering system can vary widely depending on the features and complexity you want to include. Here’s a rough breakdown:
