RestroPress: Building and Maintaining a Restaurant Ordering Platform on WordPress

RestroPress is our own product. It turns a WordPress site into an online food ordering system — menus, order types, delivery and pickup scheduling, payments and an order management back office — and we have designed, built, shipped and supported it since 2018.

We lead with it because it is the most honest evidence we can offer. Client work can be described selectively. A public plugin cannot: the code, the release history, the review score and the support forum are all open for anyone to inspect.

The record, publicly verifiable

Every figure above can be checked on the plugin's WordPress.org page. We would rather you verified it than took our word for it.

What the build involved

An ordering domain modelled properly

Restaurant ordering is deceptively complex. A menu item has variations and add-on groups with their own pricing rules. An order has a type (delivery, pickup, dine-in), a requested time, a service area and a status that moves through a real-world workflow. Modelling that correctly at the start is what makes the difference between a plugin that demos well and one that survives a Friday-night service.

An admin built for restaurant staff

The people using the order screen are not WordPress administrators. They are working during a rush. The back office had to make the current state of every order legible at a glance and make the common action the fastest one.

Payments and extensibility

Payment gateways, and an extension architecture so the plugin can be built on without forking it. Anything a restaurant might reasonably need to change had to be reachable through hooks rather than through edits that the next update would overwrite.

Eight years of compatibility work

This is the part that rarely appears in a portfolio. WordPress publishes major releases; PHP deprecates functions; payment providers change their APIs. A plugin with a thousand live installations cannot break when any of that happens. Sustained maintenance is a discipline, and it is the reason our clients' plugins are still working years after we hand them over.

What this demonstrates

Why it matters if you are hiring us

Most agencies build plugins and hand them over. The costs land later — the update that breaks it, the deprecation nobody planned for, the architecture that could not accommodate the second feature request. We have been on the receiving end of those decisions on our own product for eight years, which is precisely why we make different ones on yours.
