Online food ordering system

A web-based ordering system where guests choose and order food online and the restaurant manages all orders in one place. Built with PHP and the Yii framework.

An online ordering system takes work off the restaurant: guests put their own order together, and in the kitchen and front of house it arrives in one organised place instead of by phone or on paper. The system was built individually with PHP and the Yii framework.

For guests

  • A clear menu with categories

  • Basket and checkout in a few steps

  • Works on smartphone, tablet and desktop

For the restaurant

  • All incoming orders in one overview

  • Maintain menu, categories and prices yourself

  • Follow and update the order status

Technology

The application is built on the PHP framework Yii, known for structured, maintainable web applications. That makes later extensions easier, such as new payment methods or delivery options.

What matters in an ordering system

  • The menu must be changeable without a developer, for example for daily specials or sold-out items.

  • Ordering should take only a few steps, especially on a smartphone.

  • Orders must arrive in the restaurant in a way that is not overlooked when it gets busy.

Frequently asked questions

How does an online restaurant order work?
The guest picks dishes from the menu, adds them to the basket and submits the order. The restaurant sees it straight away in the order overview and handles it from there.
Why a custom system instead of an ordering portal?
A custom system belongs to the restaurant: its own design, its own customer data and no commission per order to a portal operator. In exchange there are development and operating costs.
