Project Overview

We operate a busy pizza restaurant in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, where approximately 80% of orders are generated through online ordering and delivery platforms. The website and ordering system are therefore a mission-critical part of our business operations.

Our domain is registered with GoDaddy, and the website is currently hosted on Hostinger. The online ordering system is currently handled through iOrder, which rebuilt the site after we temporarily lost access to parts of the original website.

We are now looking for an experienced independent web developer to help us improve, manage, and potentially restructure our website and online ordering system to ensure reliability, efficiency, and better operational control.

Scope of Work

The selected developer will assist with:

Website Management and Improvements

Review the current website structure and performance.

Improve usability, speed, and reliability.

Maintain and update the website when required.

Online Ordering System

Evaluate the current ordering system.

Improve the ordering workflow and user experience.

Ensure reliable integration with payment processing.

System Integration

Ensure smooth integration between:

Website

Online ordering platform

Payment processing

POS or restaurant management systems.

Platform Evaluation

Assess whether we should:

Continue with iOrder

Move to GloriaFood

Develop a more independent system.

Ongoing Technical Support

Provide technical advice and ongoing management if required.

Required Experience

This project is not a generic website development job.

Applicants must have proven experience working with pizza restaurants or similar high-volume take-out and delivery businesses.

Required qualifications:

Demonstrated experience building or managing restaurant websites with online ordering.

Experience with pizza restaurant workflows, delivery operations, and menu management systems.

Knowledge of payment integration and transaction handling for food ordering platforms.

Ability to maintain and improve high-traffic restaurant ordering systems.

Strong troubleshooting and system management skills.

A proven track record in this specific industry is essential.

Selection Process

Due to the high number of applicants:

We will review all submissions carefully.

Only candidates with directly relevant experience will be contacted.

Preference will be given to developers who can demonstrate successful projects with pizza restaurants or high-volume delivery operations.

Applicants are encouraged to provide examples of restaurant websites or ordering systems they have built or managed.
