How do I create a website for my restaurant?
Decide first whether the site must take orders. Then pick a builder that fits your POS. Put your menu on the page as text, not a PDF. Add hours, address, phone and a map. Connect online ordering and card payments and place a test order. Use your own domain. Then link the site from your Google Business Profile and social pages.
Can I keep my Wix or Squarespace site and still take commission-free orders?
Yes. Wix has commission-free ordering built in. Squarespace sends restaurants to ChowNow for ordering, which is commission-free and starts at $229 a month billed yearly. Orderitto's restaurant website page says an existing site can keep its design and link to the Orderitto ordering site as its Order Now button.
Is GloriaFood shutting down?
Yes. GloriaFood's home page, read October 18, 2026, says it will reach end of life on April 30, 2027. Oracle says it does not offer a direct replacement and names FoodAmigos as an option. If your website or ordering runs on GloriaFood, plan the move: menu, domain, customer list and ordering link.
Which restaurant website builders charge my customers a fee?
Of the builders here, Owner.com publishes one: guests pay a 5% order support fee on both plans. ChowNow, Toast and BentoBox do not publish a guest fee. Wix lists none, and Orderitto's pricing page lists none.
Do I need a POS to use a restaurant website builder?
Not for Wix, Squarespace, ChowNow, Owner.com or Orderitto. Toast Websites is for Toast POS restaurants. BentoBox says its products are only available to Clover POS customers.
Does Orderitto build the whole restaurant website?
Orderitto builds a branded online ordering website: the storefront, menu and checkout that take orders under your name. Its restaurant website page says that if you have no site, the Orderitto ordering site can be your main online presence, and if you have one, Orderitto becomes the ordering layer it links to. It calls itself “not a generic page builder.”
