Explore what we do for OrderPortal partners.
We increase your online orders by managing multiple ordering channels—your website, Google Business Profile, social profiles, and more—so customers find you wherever they search.
We provide a free thermal printer and tablet with your setup. They work with our Admin Portal app, where you manage all your orders, set discounts, and update menu items.
You get a site that actually looks like your shop, with your colors, photos, and specials front and center, not a cookie-cutter template that could belong to anyone.
It's built mobile-first because that's how people decide where to order when they're hungry and scrolling on the couch.
We handle design and hosting so you're not chasing a freelancer every time you need a tweak.
Your customers see your name in the app store, not ours, and they can reorder their usual with a couple of taps when it's game night or they're feeding a crowd.
You stay in charge of the menu, pricing, and how ordering feels from open to close.
We take care of getting it live and keeping it current so you're not learning app publishing on top of running the line.
When someone searches for pizza near them, the details on your profile, like hours, phone, menu, and photos, either pull them in or send them to the next listing.
We keep that information accurate and lined up with how you actually operate, including ordering links that point people to you instead of a third-party commission trap.
That way you show up looking professional and ready for the order, not outdated or confusing.
We run the email and text campaigns, loyalty touches, and promos that remind people you're there without you living inside a marketing dashboard.
You can focus on the rush while we handle timing, messaging, and the kind of offers that bring folks back for another pie.
It's the steady drumbeat that fills slow nights and keeps regulars from drifting to whoever advertised last.

The origin story
Built behind the counter.
Long before Order Portal’s founders became software engineers, they were pizza guys.
As teenagers, Thomas D'Ascoli and Kyle Ruban spent nearly a decade working in local pizzerias, doing just about every job imaginable and learning firsthand what it takes to keep an independent restaurant running. They delivered orders, waited tables, bussed dishes, worked the counter, stretched dough, and, of course, made pizzas.
While working those long shifts, they were also earning degrees in computer science.
Then one day, the owner of the pizzeria they worked at came to them with a problem. His online ordering provider was taking too much from every sale through processing fees, commissions, and other rising costs. When he asked them to build a better online ordering platform, one that didn’t take a cut of every sale, they got to work.
He became their very first client.
Word spread quickly throughout the pizza community. Owners talked to other owners, and before long, Order Portal was powering the online ordering systems of many of the same pizzerias where Thomas and Kyle had once worked.
That experience continues to shape everything they build. Order Portal was built to give independent restaurants the technology they need to compete while keeping the ordering experience entirely their own, not hidden behind a third-party marketplace.
They may be software engineers by profession, but they’ll always be pizza guys at heart.
