How to Create an Order Form
Hands down the reason I chose this company years ago was because of how much control I have over the forms — what goes on them, how and where they get sent, what info is seen or hidden, format, you name it. Jotform has the best designer software I’ve ever seen! All of those things make managing my orders and customers much easier.

  • What is an online ordering system?

With Jotform’s online food order forms, you can create a custom online ordering system that works for your business — quickly collecting customer contact details, delivery details, and orders through your website.

  • How can I create an online food ordering system for my restaurant?

    With Jotform, you can build custom online food order forms to seamlessly accept restaurant orders and grocery orders online. Just add your items to your order form, customize the design to match your branding, and embed the form in your website or share it with a link. Depending on which option you choose, customers can pay online via a trusted payment processor or pay in person when they pick up the order.

  • Why is online ordering good for restaurants?

    For some restaurants, online ordering can open up a whole new revenue stream, improve brand visibility, and appeal to new customers by providing an easier way to place orders with your restaurant. On top of that, online ordering is ideal for individuals and companies placing catering orders, as it gives the restaurant or store more time to gather ingredients and prepare the kitchen for larger orders.

  • What forms do I need for my restaurant?

    Online food order forms are perfect for restaurants offering delivery or takeout options. No matter what cuisine you serve, we offer 60+ food order form templates to suit your needs — and if you can’t find a template that perfectly matches your business, customize one in a couple of clicks with our easy-to-use Form Builder.

  • How can I create product options?

    If you’d like to offer customers the option to remove or add ingredients for specific menu items, create sub-products. This is a great way for customers with dietary restrictions or food allergies to personalize their food orders.

  • Which type of order form should I use for my restaurant?

    Your restaurant’s order form needs to support the number of menu items you’re selling — so if you offer many different products with multiple customization options, a multiple-product order form with multiple choices is probably the best option. Learn more about order form types here.

  • How can I deliver food?

    If your restaurant has a driver available to complete deliveries, you can use your online order form to collect delivery details such as address, phone number, and the requested date and time of the delivery. Delivery orders are sent directly to your Jotform account and easily accessible on any device — including on your phone with our free mobile app — so you can quickly coordinate with your driver to process deliveries as quickly as possible.
