What is branded restaurant online ordering?

Branded online ordering gives customers a restaurant-specific ordering page using your logo, colours, menu and business details. Customers order directly from your restaurant rather than through a generic marketplace listing.

Easy Eats Direct plans use 0% commission. Restaurants pay a monthly plan and a small platform fee per order instead of giving away a percentage of every sale.

Yes. You can offer pickup, delivery or both, depending on your setup. Delivery can be handled through Easy Eats Delivery, your own drivers or another arrangement agreed during setup.

Can my menu include options and add-ons?

Yes. Menu items can include options such as sizes, flavours, spice levels, meat choices, extras and other modifiers. Food photos and item descriptions can also be added.

Can customers schedule an order for later?

Restaurants can offer advance ordering and available time slots when these options are enabled for their setup. Ordering hours, preparation times and availability can be managed around your service.

Can I add an Order Online button to my current website?

Yes. Your website can link directly to your branded Easy Eats ordering page. We can also help place the link in your navigation, homepage or other prominent areas.
