Ordering food online was already popular before the C-crisis and has now become even more popular. Platforms like Lieferando and other providers offer a direct ordering option for the end customer and also provide a software solution for restaurants or pizza delivery services with delivery and take-out services. However, this naturally incurs significant fees with every order, and it never truly belongs to you!
In this article with video, we present an online gastronomy software with online ordering capability (ordering software) that costs less than €100 once in the first year and only €69 per year in subsequent years!!!
Order food online – Restaurant Pizza Delivery Service & Take-out Software & Gastronomy Program for under €100
First and foremost, for your understanding, you need the following 5 components for the functional system that truly belongs to you:
- Web hosting (you can book professional hosting with us or book with all-inkl*)
- WordPress + WooCommerce (both free!)
- FoodBook Plugin & Theme (buy here*)
- Germanized for German jurisdiction (buy here*)
- Some experience or professional help for setup
And that’s it! After that, the first people can order food online, use the delivery service or pick it up on site.
It is particularly practical that you can also use the software as an indirect POS system / cash register software via the "add manual order" function.
Step-by-step guide for your own online ordering system and software for e.g. pizza delivery service, delivery service and food delivery of all kinds
With some experience, the setup takes less than 5 hours until the system is ready. If we, as a WordPress agency, should take over the service for you, please feel free to contact us. You will also find an offer for this at the bottom of the article.

Here is a video from us:
For a one-time fee of 269,– Euros, we also offer an installation service with initial WordPress setup.
The WooCommerce order management system for quick orders from Foodbook depends on the free WooCommerce plugin. You must therefore have the WooCommerce plugin installed before you can use the Foodbook plugin.
3. FoodBook | Online Food Ordering System for WordPress with WooCommerce*
FoodBook is an online ordering system for WordPress. It is a custom WooCommerce-based WordPress plugin for online food ordering, allowing you to easily add a food ordering system to your WordPress website. With FoodBook, you can effortlessly receive both pickup and delivery orders.
FoodBook features a modern and user-friendly front-end with a live search option for food and categories to filter food, as well as a back-end interface for shop/restaurant owners/administrators to manage settings and orders. This plugin enables user roles for Branch Manager, Kitchen Manager, and Delivery Man, along with a separate pre-built dashboard interface for Branch Managers, Kitchen Managers, and Delivery Men, allowing you to easily manage orders and deliveries without granting your WordPress admin access. Additionally, the dashboard displays instant notifications. It also includes an order filtering system based on „New Order,“ „Cooking Processing,“ „Cooking Completed,“ „On the Way,“ and „Delivery Completed.“
This plugin automatically adds all necessary pages to your WordPress site when you activate the plugin. You get the food on your page with the shortcode [foodbook_products]. This shortcode works with all visual page builders such as Elementor, WP Bakery-Page-Builder, Visual Composer, King Composer, Brave Builder, Guttenburg etc. Also, menu, banner and footer are not part of the plugin. We used it for the demonstration of the plugin. The plugin is all about this https://prnt.sc/thm2aq and you can use this plugin with any WordPress theme. Anyone can easily update/edit this plugin by following our well-sorted online documentation.
Tip: Use Chrome browser extension and automatically translate from English to German.

Do you have multiple locations, branches, and restaurants for ordering and delivery service?
If you use multiple branches, you will find some features such as the branch page in the administrator, the branch manager page, the kitchen manager page, and the delivery boy page. And you can manage your order with multiple branches in one system. You can also create multiple branch manager and kitchen manager users to manage their branch orders.
If you do not have multiple branches of your shop, you can use a single branch Foodbook WordPress plugin. This plugin contains all the features required to manage single branch orders. It is very easy to use and customize. There is no complexity to use. The single branch system only offers the multi-branch features that are not required for a single branch (options for creating branches, options for multiple branches, option for managing the kitchen). Otherwise, all options are the same.
The main administrator can view and control all branch orders on the branch order management page. This page can only be accessed by the main administrator via the dashboard. There are so many options on this page. Follow the option list below:
- Order filter by date and branch
- View statistics for total orders, total orders completed, total orders cancelled, total value, total order value, total orders cancelled
- Notification based on status and quantity
- Order list and order information
- Order branch transfer option
- Delivery boy assign option
- Option to change order status

4. Germanized for German Jurisprudence
For terms and conditions buttons, delivery conditions, VAT notices, and the calculation of prices, basic prices, delivery, shipping, etc. to function correctly and for clean invoices to be generated, we recommend using Germanized for currently 69 euros per year.
5. Install and configure everything
Now comes the part where everything is brought together and the settings for the delivery service software follow. The documents + videos have already been explained above. Now it’s about many individual details that the article unfortunately cannot convey.
Therefore, we recommend either hiring a capable freelancer or commissioning us as an agency.
We offer the complete system, including licenses for the first year, plus hosting for a one-time fee of 1,890 Euros, or individual consultation.
