Getting started

Setting up a new account and a live ordering page takes an afternoon. The sequence is: create your account and restaurant, connect your Stripe account, build the menu, publish, and share your ordering page. Nothing requires a developer, and nothing costs money until you sell an order.

1. Create your account and restaurant

Signups open soon. Join the waitlist and we will let you know. The flow itself is two steps: an email and a password for your account, then the restaurant itself, its name, its phone number, and its ordering page address. The address is the last part of your ordering page link, for example nonnas-table. Delitero suggests one from the restaurant name; you can edit it before creating the restaurant, and it is checked for availability as you type.

2. Connect Stripe

Delitero never holds your money, so every restaurant connects its own Stripe account. On the admin dashboard, the setup checklist has a Connect Stripe step: it sends you to Stripe, you create an account there or sign in to an existing one, and Stripe sends you back. Card payments then settle directly into your Stripe account.

Until Stripe is connected, your menu and ordering page work but checkout tells customers the restaurant is not taking payments yet. Connect Stripe before you share the link.

3. Build your menu

The menu editor works in categories, items, and option groups. An item has a name, a price, an optional description, and an optional photo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 2 MB). Option groups cover things like sizes and toppings: each option can carry its own price, and the group sets how many choices a customer must or may pick.

Set your opening hours and preparation time under Hours. Ordering follows them: outside opening hours customers see when you open next, and the preparation time drives the "Ready around" estimate customers see after ordering.

4. Publish

Edits are drafts until you publish. Publishing takes a numbered snapshot of the menu and makes it live within about a minute; the publish dialog lists exactly what changed. Your ordering page shows a friendly "not open for online ordering yet" note until the first publish. See Menus and publishing for the details, including the out-of-stock fast path that skips publishing entirely.

5. Share your ordering page, or embed it

Every restaurant gets a hosted ordering page at its own address:

https://order.delitero.com/your-restaurant

Link it from anywhere: your Instagram bio, your Google Business Profile, a QR code on the door. If you have your own website, paste the embed snippet instead and the full menu and checkout render inside your site:

<div data-delitero-restaurant="your-restaurant" style="height: 640px; max-width: 480px"></div>
<script src="https://order.delitero.com/embed.js" defer></script>

The exact snippet for your restaurant, with your address filled in, is in your admin Settings. Add ordering to your site has step-by-step guides for WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and more.

6. Your first order

Orders appear on the admin Orders page the moment they are paid, and on the kitchen display if you pair a device (admin, Devices, Pair a device). You accept the order with a preparation time, the customer's status page updates live, and if nobody reacts the watchdog re-alerts the kitchen, then texts you, then calls you. Orders, the kitchen display, and the watchdog walks through the whole flow.
