What's Involved in Setting Up a Restaurant Delivery Ordering System
Before you sign up with a delivery marketplace and hand over 20-30% commission on every order, see what it takes to run your own. Stunning builds you a complete restaurant ordering system — menu, cart, delivery or pickup form, WhatsApp order button and payment on delivery — in minutes, no code, no developer, no commission to a third-party app.

Who this is for
Restaurants, cafés and cloud kitchens in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt who are tired of marketplace commissions and want direct orders. Perfect if you already take orders over WhatsApp or Instagram DMs and want something faster and more professional — with a real menu, cart, and order tracking, not just chat messages.
Why Stunning instead of a delivery marketplace account
Marketplace apps take a cut of every order and own the customer relationship. Stunning gives you a system you own: your menu, your prices, your branding, your customer list. No app review, no commission structure to accept, no waiting for approval. You keep 100% of every order and can still list on marketplaces if you choose to later.
Frequently asked questions
How much does this cost?
Stunning has simple plans in AED, SAR and EGP. No commission is taken on your orders — unlike marketplace delivery apps.
Do I need a developer or designer?
No. You describe your restaurant and menu, and Stunning's AI builds the ordering system, pages and order form for you. No code needed.
Does it work in Arabic as well as English?
Yes. Your menu, order form and WhatsApp messages can run in English and Arabic, right-to-left included.
Can customers pay on delivery, or do I need a payment gateway?
Both work. Start with cash or pay-on-delivery, no processor needed. When ready, connect Moyasar, Tap, PayTabs, Paymob or Tabby for online card payments.
Is my menu and order data mine?
Yes. It sits on your own system, not inside a marketplace app. You keep your customer list, orders and menu data under your control.
Do I need a trade licence or VAT setup first?
You can build and preview your ordering system right away. Add your trade licence details and VAT information to your invoices and order confirmations whenever you're ready.
