Menu, cart, and pickup checkout — on your own website. Halo Order lets customers browse your menu, add items with extras, pick a pickup time, and pay — while every order prints straight to your kitchen. Commission-free, built on WooCommerce.
DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats take a cut of every order, sit between you and the guest, and own the relationship you built. Meanwhile the "free" website builder's ordering add-on is clunky, generic, and still not really yours.
A busy taquería doing $30k a month in online orders can hand $6,000–$9,000 of it to a delivery app — every single month. That is a full-time employee's wages, gone to a middleman for orders your regulars would happily place on your own site.
The guest never leaves your website. Halo Order handles the menu, the cart, the pickup time, the payment, and the ticket that lands in the kitchen.
A fast, photo-driven menu with categories, prices, and descriptions — grid, list, or tabbed. Sold-out items show a clear badge instead of disappearing, so guests always see the full menu.
Add to cart with variations and add-ons — protein choice, spice level, extra guac. A floating mini-cart tracks the order, and totals update in real time as items and extras are added.
Only open days and available time slots show, each with remaining capacity. Prep-time buffers block slots that are too soon, and holiday closures are respected automatically.
Checkout runs through your own WooCommerce gateway — Stripe, Square, PayPal, or Authorize.net. Guest checkout, special instructions, and minimum-order rules included. No commission, no redirect.
The order lands in a live dashboard sorted by pickup time, with a print-friendly kitchen ticket in large type. The guest gets automatic emails when it's preparing and ready.
No commission. No middleman. No re-keying orders.
Halo Order isn't a bloated restaurant suite with reservations and dine-in you'll never use. It's the menu, the cart, and the pickup checkout, done properly — and the operational switches that matter when the line is out the door.
Categories, photos, prices, and descriptions in grid, list, or tabbed layouts. Variations for protein and size, add-ons for extras — priced and totaled automatically. A one-tap Sold Out toggle takes an item off the line mid-service without editing the product.
Explore menu tools →Configurable time slots with per-slot order limits, prep-time buffers, and advance-order cutoffs. Race-condition-safe slot booking means two guests can't claim the last window. Holiday and specific-date closures block a day in one click.
See pickup scheduling →Floating mini-cart, guest checkout, special instructions ("no onions, extra lime"), and configurable minimum order — all on WooCommerce's proven checkout.
More →Stripe, Square, PayPal, or Authorize.net — your gateway, your money, next-day deposits. PCI compliance handled by WooCommerce; card data never touches the plugin.
More →Today's orders sorted by pickup time, quick Preparing / Ready / Done status buttons, and a large-type kitchen ticket print view with items, add-ons, and notes.
More →Order confirmation with pickup time, plus "Preparing" and "Ready for Pickup" status emails to the guest and a new-order alert to the kitchen — all branded, no extra service.
More →A Pause All Orders switch stops new orders instantly when you're slammed, with a custom message. Sold-out toggles, min-order, and cutoffs keep the line realistic.
More →Because the menu, cart, and slots are all configurable, the same product runs a taquería, a pizzeria, a coffee bar, or a bakery pre-order line. No custom build. No per-order tax on your growth.
Photo menu, add-ons for salsas and proteins, tickets that print in the truck.
Sizes, crusts, and topping add-ons priced automatically — pickup windows for the rush.
Morning pickup slots with capacity caps so the counter never gets buried.
Menu, cart, pickup, and kitchen tools — the full tour. →
Marketplaces take a cut and own the guest. Website builders bolt on generic ordering. Halo Order gives you real pickup ordering on your own site, commission-free.
