Restaurants — E-Commerce Developer

A senior e-commerce developer for restaurants

A restaurant lives or dies on its margins and its floor. Food cost moves weekly, a no-show table on a Friday night is revenue that never comes back, and delivery apps take a commission on every order while owning the customer relationship. At the same time, guests expect to book in seconds, get answers instantly, and see a menu that is accurate across Google, the website, and the delivery apps.

Most of the fixable loss in a restaurant is operational, not culinary: phones ringing during service, reservation notes that never reach the floor, a website that cannot take a booking, reviews answered late or not at all, and a point-of-sale system that holds useful data nobody ever looks at. The work below is about closing those gaps with systems the team will actually use during a busy service.

What you get

What this engagement covers for restaurants

An online store for retail, gifts, vouchers, and bookable experiences, on a platform the team can manage.
Checkout with clear prices, taxes, and collection or delivery options, tested on a phone.
Voucher and experience redemption that works at the till or front desk without a workaround.
Product pages with honest photography and terms: what is included, when it expires, and how it is used.
Abandoned-checkout and post-purchase emails, short and infrequent, that recover real sales.
Inventory and order handling the team can follow: what sold, what ships, and what is owed.

Working in restaurants

Built for how restaurants actually operate

Operations. On the floor, the systems that matter are the point of sale, reservations, the kitchen display, staff scheduling, and inventory. A new tool that ignores any of those, or asks staff to double-enter data during service, will be abandoned within a week. Every engagement below is scoped around the tools already in place and the moments in service where work actually happens.

Tools and systems. Restaurants commonly run Toast or Square for Restaurants at the till, SevenRooms, Resy, or OpenTable for reservations, 7shifts or Deputy for scheduling, and MarketMan or xtraCHEF for inventory and food cost. Delivery runs through DoorDash and Uber Eats, and the website and Google Business Profile are often the first place a new diner checks a menu or opening hours. The job is to connect these pieces so a booking, an order, and a review all land in one place instead of five separate inboxes.

Outcomes. Expect a store that adds revenue without adding chaos: gifts and retail sold steadily, vouchers redeemed smoothly, and orders the team can fulfil in their normal week.

How it works

From kickoff to delivery for restaurants

Choose what sells and what fulfils
Products are listed only if the team can pack, ship, or redeem them without daily heroics.
Build checkout first
The store is judged on completed checkouts, so checkout is built and tested before design polish.
Test redemption end to end
Staff redeem a voucher or collect an order exactly as a guest would, before launch.
Launch to the existing list first
Past guests get the first offer, results are measured, and wider promotion waits for proof.

Why Omer

Why hire Omer

Senior-only delivery: one person owns the work, its decisions, and its handover, for restaurants specifically.
Built around your existing systems, not a rip-and-replace: the tools your team already trusts stay in place.
Measured on bookings, orders, and hours saved, not on activity reports or vanity metrics.
Plain-language reporting: what was done, what it returned, and what comes next, in terms an owner can act on.
No lock-in theatre: your data, your accounts, and your documentation, handed over properly.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which platform should the store run on?

Usually Shopify for retail and gifts, chosen for reliability and ease of use. Where booking or property integration dominates, that decision is made on integration needs, not platform fashion.

What if a guest has trouble redeeming a voucher?

Redemption is tested with staff before launch, and a simple fallback is agreed: the guest is never left arguing at the counter or desk while staff hunt for a code.

Do you work with our existing point-of-sale system?

Yes. Most restaurant work starts from the POS already in place, usually Toast or Square, plus the reservation system and delivery apps. Replacing a working till mid-service is rarely the right first move; connecting and cleaning up what you have usually is.

Will this add work for staff during service?

It should not. Anything that needs double entry during a rush will be dropped by the team, so the scope is designed around the quiet moments: setup before service, close-down, and one weekly review. If a workflow cannot survive a Friday night, it does not ship.

What about delivery apps and their commissions?

Delivery apps are treated as a channel to manage, not a problem to lecture about. The practical levers are a direct ordering or booking path on your own site, accurate menus everywhere so orders do not go wrong, and regulars nudged toward direct orders where the margin is better.
