Ordering.Tools
Ordering.Tools provides digital menus and online ordering for restaurants and other hospitality businesses. A single system handles dine-in, pickup, and delivery orders, routing them to a kitchen screen, thermal printer, or admin panel while updating customers on order status. Orders can be linked to Reservation.Tools bookings so preparation can begin before guests arrive. Menus support product sizes and modifiers, promotions, multiple languages, and labels for 14 major allergens. Listed payment options include Stripe card payments with 3D Secure, MyPOS terminals, Barsy POS integration, and cash on pickup or delivery. Marketplace integrations include Wolt, Glovo, Takeaway, Bolt Food, Foodpanda, and UberEats. Customers can browse in a phone browser without an app or account. Listed AI tools include phone ordering, photo-based menu import, smart upsells, an admin assistant, and product description generation. The free plan allows 20 orders per month with no commission. Starter is €30 a month with a 5% platform commission; Pro is €60 a month with a 3% commission. It runs on Android, iOS, and web.
