HoReCa — websites and software for restaurants
Mobile-friendly sites, maintenance when something breaks, and ordering platforms when it makes sense — not Glovo ROI pitches. For La Iancu I run the sites and updates; for online ordering we build only what you'll actually use.
What we do in practice
Presentation site
Menu, reservations, events, local SEO — fast on phone.
Maintenance
Updates, security, fixes, new content when the offer changes.
Online ordering
Menu, cart, checkout, payments — when you want your own channel.
Courier & ops
Delivery integrations, kitchen notifications — on request.
Multi-brand
Multiple locations or brands under one technical partner.
Mobile app (optional)
PWA or native for loyal customers — not required from day one.
Case study: La Iancu
Long-term collaboration: websites for the restaurant brands and ongoing maintenance — not a unicorn ordering platform shipped in a month. That model works for many restaurants: someone reliable who responds when the site needs updating or fixing.
H.E.S.T.I.A. — AI restaurant management
Faintech's own SaaS for the restaurant that wants its data to do the work: it connects to your management system (Syrve, Poster, iiko, Loyverse, and more), answers natural-language questions about consumption, sales, and stock, computes a 7-day forecast and replenishment list, and takes inventory from a photo. hestiaai.ro ↗
When an own ordering platform makes sense
Not every restaurant needs its own channel — the decision is made on numbers, not trends. Concrete criteria:
- Steady volume: recurring orders that justify building and maintaining an own channel.
- Margin: aggregators typically take 20–30% of every order; at 100 orders a day, that is RON 2,000–2,400 daily.
- Customer data: with your own channel, the customer list and order history stay yours — not Glovo/Tazz's.
- Operational control: prices, menu, and promotions updated instantly, no aggregator tickets.
If volume is low and orders mostly come from discovery (aggregator search), a solid site plus aggregator presence is the right call. We look at the numbers together before recommending anything.
FAQ
How long does a new site take?
Depends on content and integrations — from a few weeks for a brochure site to months for a full ordering platform.
Who do I work with?
Eduard — the engineer writing the code. Extra design or mobile only with your approval.
How much does an own ordering platform cost?
Digital menu with variants, cart, checkout, and payments: from €1,500. With courier integration, multi-brand, or kitchen notifications: up to €12,000. Fixed price after scope — see the restaurant ordering guide.
Compared to Glovo/Tazz, is it worth it?
Aggregators bring discovery but take 20–30% per order and keep the customer data. At low volume an own channel is not worth it; at high volume it pays for itself from the margin. I run the math on your numbers before any recommendation.
Who responds when the site goes down?
The same engineer, on the same business day — La Iancu has worked with me for 2+ years on sites and maintenance. Optional: maintenance contract with agreed response SLA.
