Social Media Ordering Features
Everything you need to turn social media engagement into food orders.
Order Now Button on Facebook
Add an "Order Now" button to your Facebook business page that links directly to your branded online ordering page. A customer browsing your Facebook page sees your latest food photos, reads reviews, and taps Order Now without leaving the social media experience. They land on your ordering page — not a third-party marketplace — and you keep the customer relationship.
Direct Ordering Link
Your branded ordering URL is shareable across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, and any social channel. Post a photo of tonight's special with a direct link to order it. Share the link in stories, reels, comments, and DMs. Every link click leads to your ordering page at low commission — no third-party platform taking 30% of the order value.
Social Commerce Integration
Instagram posts and stories include a "Tap to Order" link in bio or swipe-up. Facebook posts embed the ordering link. WhatsApp Business messages include the menu URL. Every social touchpoint becomes an ordering opportunity. The customer journey from seeing a food photo to placing an order takes less than 60 seconds.
Social Sales Tracking
Track which social media channels drive the most orders. See how many orders came from Facebook versus Instagram versus WhatsApp. Measure the conversion rate of social media posts to actual orders. Identify which types of content — food photos, offers, videos — generate the most revenue. Attribution data tells you exactly where your social media effort is paying off.
POS Integration
Orders placed through your social media links arrive on the POS automatically. They print in the kitchen alongside walk-in and phone orders. One workflow for all order sources. The POS does not care whether the customer found you on Facebook, Instagram, or Google — the order appears the same way and processes through the same kitchen workflow.
Social Promotional Tools
Create promotional posts with built-in ordering links. A Friday fish and chips special with a link to order. A new menu launch with a limited-time discount code. A loyalty offer for customers who order through social media. Schedule posts in advance from the dashboard. Every promotion is trackable — see how many orders each post generated.
Why Social Commerce Matters for Food Businesses
Convert Social Followers into Customers
Your Facebook and Instagram followers already like your food. They see your photos, read your updates, and watch your stories. But without a direct ordering link, they have to search for your phone number or visit a third-party app. A one-tap Order Now button removes every barrier between scrolling and ordering. Conversion increases dramatically.
Avoid Third-Party Platform Fees
Third-party food ordering platforms charge 25-35% commission on every order. When a customer finds you on Facebook and orders through a third-party platform, you pay twice — once in social media effort and again in platform commission. Your own branded ordering page charges low commission. On 50 social media orders per week at £25 average, the savings exceed £400 weekly.
Own Your Customer Data
When customers order through your branded page, you capture their email, phone number, and order history. That data powers future marketing — email offers, SMS campaigns, loyalty programmes. When customers order through a third-party platform, the platform owns the data. Your social media investment should build your customer database, not someone else's.
Amplify Your Social Media ROI
Every food photo, every story, every reel becomes a revenue opportunity when paired with a direct ordering link. Measure the actual revenue generated by your social media content. A well-photographed burger that generates 200 orders at £12 each produces £2,400 in trackable revenue. Justify your social media time investment with hard numbers.
From Likes to Orders
Your restaurant's Facebook page has hundreds or thousands of followers who see your food posts every week. Without a direct ordering link, those likes and comments are just vanity metrics. Add an Order Now button and every engagement becomes a potential order. The distance between seeing your food and buying your food shrinks to one tap.
Instagram is a visual menu. Every photo of a dish is an advertisement. Every reel of kitchen preparation builds appetite. When that appetite converts to hunger, the customer needs a frictionless path to ordering. A link in bio, a story swipe, or a DM with your ordering URL completes the journey before the customer considers a competitor.
The low commission model means social media orders are significantly more profitable than third-party platform orders. If you currently pay 30% commission to a delivery platform, switching those customers to your own ordering page saves you 20-25% per order. Invest that saving back into your social media content — better photos, more posts, more reach — and create a virtuous cycle of growth.
