A genuine commercial advantage.

So many websites are created just because the business owner feels that they ought to have an "Internet presence". Often such sites cost thousands and offer little or no return on investment. An Online Waiter website is an out-and-out business tool that will return your investment over and over again.

More convenient for your customers.

Many customers would rather browse your menu and add dishes to a shopping cart at their leisure instead of telephoning your restaurant and having a rushed conversation with one of your waiters.

More convenient (and profitable) for you.

Online orders arrive via your fax machine. They free-up your waiters from answering the phone and are always error free.

Stand out in a crowded market.

You need to do everything you can to stand out from your competitors. And you can get up and running for very little. You simply can't afford not to do this.

Never pay any web development costs.

Once you are up and running with an Online Waiter website, you'll never have to pay any development costs to keep your websites technology up to date. We are continually developing The Online Waiter, and all new features and benefits are automatically rolled out to all of our customers websites. Picture your online ordering website not being an Online Waiter website, and not functioning on the latest Internet browser or not working on the latest portable Internet gizmo that EVERYONE is buying ... The chances are that it would cost you thousands to get a non-specialist developer to revisit your website to get it working again ... only for the same thing to happen 12 months down the line. If you are an Online Waiter customer, then because this is all that we do, we fix it quickly and free of charge.

Larger orders.

Online orders are typically between 10 and 30% larger than phone orders. We can't explain why, but it is a widely reported statistic from businesses with online food ordering systems. People are more likely to add extra items to their basket.

More repeat business.

Customers prefer online ordering to telephone ordering and tend to order more frequently. Also customers can easily review & reorder past orders.

Save on staff time.

Less telephone answering.

Save on order errors.

No problems with the wrong items or missing items, as can happen with telephone orders.

Accept card payments.

Giving your customers the option to pay online costs you nothing extra and can help attract business. Customers can choose to pay with a card when they checkout, or they can choose to pay with cash/cheque etc when they get their food.

Reinforce branding.

Unique website design for each restaurant ensures a match with your image.

Easy setup.

We provide a full service where we create and run your website for you.

Reach new customers.

Without online ordering you are losing out on business from a large group of potential customers who use the web as their first choice for ordering products and services.
