Many restaurants think they need a food ordering website to accept online orders, but building and maintaining a website can be expensive, slow, and complicated.
The Website Challenge
Customers often find websites difficult to use, especially on slow internet or older phones. Pages take time to load, forms are long, and the checkout process can be confusing. This friction causes many potential customers to abandon their orders before completing them.
A Better Alternative
OrderinWhats turns WhatsApp, an app customers already use, into a full online food ordering system. Instead of sending visitors to a website, customers can order food directly through WhatsApp with just a few taps.

| Aspect | Food Ordering Website | OrderinWhats (WhatsApp) |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Cost | $2,000 - $10,000+ | Low monthly subscription |
| Setup Time | 2-6 months | Same day |
| Maintenance | Ongoing developer costs | Fully managed |
| Customer Learning Curve | Medium to High | Zero (familiar interface) |

Why Customers Prefer WhatsApp
The experience is easier and more natural because people are already familiar with WhatsApp. There's no need to:
- Install anything new
- Remember a password
- Wait for pages to load slowly
- Fill out long registration forms
- Navigate unfamiliar interfaces
- Deal with app updates
