Frequently asked questions

Everything restaurant owners ask us about getting online ordering on their own website.

Getting started

How fast can I go live?

Once we have your menu, logo and photos and your domain is connected, your ordering website can go live quickly, often within days. We do the set-up for you.

What do I need to get started?

Your menu with prices, your logo, some food photos if you have them, and a domain name. If you don't have photos or a domain yet, we'll help.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. We handle hosting, security and updates. You manage your menu and orders from a simple dashboard that works on your phone or laptop.

Domain & website

Do I need my own domain?

Yes, your ordering website runs on your own domain, like yourrestaurant.com. If you don't have one, we'll help you register one.

Is my ordering website secure?

Yes. Every restaurant site runs on HTTPS with an SSL certificate that we set up and renew automatically.

Will it look like my restaurant?

Yes. Your logo, colours, photos and details are used throughout, and your customers see only your restaurant.

Orders & dashboard

Can I change my menu myself?

Yes. Add, edit or hide items and categories, update prices and photos, and set opening hours from your dashboard. Changes go live immediately.

How do I receive orders?

Incoming orders appear in your restaurant dashboard where you can see and manage them in one place. SMS/WhatsApp notifications and kitchen printing are on our roadmap.

Can I keep using delivery apps?

Absolutely. Many restaurants keep their marketplace listings and add their own website as a direct, commission-free channel alongside them.

Pricing & support

Do you take a commission on my orders?

No. The whole point is direct ordering without marketplace commissions. Book a demo to get pricing for your restaurant.

What support do I get?

Onboarding and set-up are done for you, and you get ongoing technical support from the HMO Systems team.

Do I get new features?

Yes. New features are added for every restaurant automatically, at no extra effort for you.
