Restaurant Marketplace script: features overview
Restaurant Marketplace is a ready-to-run PHP script for building your own food ordering and restaurant discovery website - a marketplace where many restaurants list themselves, publish menus, take delivery and pickup orders and receive table bookings, while you earn money from them.
The three parts of the script
| Part | Address | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Website (front end) | / | Visitors and customers: search restaurants, read menus, order, book a table, leave reviews. |
| Restaurant owner panel | /user_admin/ | Restaurant owners: profile, menu, orders, bookings, reviews, promo codes, earnings, plan. |
| Main admin panel | /ADMIN/ | You, the marketplace owner: restaurants, users, payments, pages, settings, languages, statistics. |
