Should a restaurant stop using delivery apps?

No. Delivery apps bring first-time customers and that discovery has real value. The purpose of an own-brand ordering site is to stop paying 15 to 30 percent commission on repeat customers who already know the restaurant.

Can restaurant staff update the menu themselves?

Yes. Items, prices, photos, availability and add-ons are editable from an admin panel, and staff training is included before handover.

Does a restaurant need a mobile app as well as a website?

Not initially. A fast mobile website handles ordering well. An app becomes worthwhile once there are enough repeat customers for push notifications to pay for the extra build.

How do online orders reach the kitchen?

Through a kitchen dashboard with an audible alert and optional printed tickets. In multi-branch setups each order is routed to the correct branch automatically.

Restaurant Website

A restaurant website with online ordering costs EGP 50,000 to 110,000 ($900 to $2,000) and takes 3 to 6 weeks. Delivery apps brought you customers, and they now take 15 to 30% of every order those customers place. Your own ordering site does not replace them overnight, but every order that moves across is margin you keep, and the customer becomes yours rather than the platform's.

What your restaurant site includes

Digital menu

Categories, photos, prices, options and add-ons, editable by your own staff without calling us.

Ordering & checkout

Delivery or pickup, address capture, delivery zones with their own fees, and scheduled orders.

Online payment

Card and wallet through Paymob or Fawry, plus cash on delivery, because a lot of orders still are.

Kitchen dashboard

New orders on a screen with a sound alert, status changes, and printed tickets if you want them.

Table reservations

Booking by date, party size and section, with confirmation by WhatsApp.

Local SEO built in

Restaurant and Menu schema, fast pages, and a Google Business Profile set up so you appear in map results.

The commission maths, honestly

Monthly sales through delivery apps	20% commission you pay	Over a year
EGP 50,000	EGP 10,000 / month	EGP 120,000
EGP 100,000	EGP 20,000 / month	EGP 240,000
EGP 200,000	EGP 40,000 / month	EGP 480,000

Read that table the right way. Delivery apps also bring discovery you would otherwise pay for, so the honest goal is not to leave them; it is to stop paying commission on your repeat customers, who already know your name and only use the app out of habit. Shifting even a third of those orders typically covers the cost of the site inside a few months.

Why Web Pioneer

We build the ordering engine, not a plugin: delivery zones, prep times and branch routing behave the way your operation actually works.
Arabic and English from the first screen, including the checkout, which is where translated themes usually fall apart.
Local payments: Paymob, Fawry and MyFatoorah integrated and tested against live transactions, not left as a to-do.
It stays fast: menus are image-heavy by nature, so we serve them through a CDN with proper image formats rather than shipping 4MB pages.
One team for the site, the app and the hosting, so there is nobody to blame when an order does not reach the kitchen.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a restaurant website cost in Egypt?

A brochure site with a digital menu runs EGP 28,000 to 50,000 and takes 2 to 4 weeks. Adding online ordering and payment puts it at EGP 50,000 to 110,000 over 3 to 6 weeks.

Should we leave the delivery apps entirely?

No, and we would not advise it. They bring first-time customers. The site is for the repeat ones, where the commission buys you nothing you are not already getting.

Can our staff update the menu themselves?

Yes. Items, prices, photos, availability and add-ons are all editable from an admin panel, and we train your team on it before handover.

Do we need a mobile app as well?

Not at first. A fast mobile site handles ordering perfectly well, and an app only starts paying for itself once you have enough repeat customers to make push notifications worthwhile.

How do orders reach the kitchen?

Through a dashboard screen with an audible alert, optionally with a printed ticket. Branch routing sends each order to the right kitchen automatically.
