Freelance webdesigner & marketeer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best open source restaurant software" July 27, 2021 4.0 If you are looking for a standalone system for your restaurant and want to focus on delivery and take away, this is your software. T Due to COVID we had to close the restaurant and started providing take away dishes. We are located in Spain but have English-speaking clientele so this was not very easy. We've set this system up and it was so successful that we've kept providing take away dishes to our clients. Pros The software has a very attractive interface for the end-user and allows for multiple payment gateways. We have implemented Mollie and haven't had any issue with handling payments. The menu items with it's customisation makes it very easy to provide toppings for pizza's, different sauces, etc.. Cons There is nothing bad to say about the software. The learning curve for me was a bit steep in the beginning but I had immediate support from the community and developer within hours. The support was so good that I decided to help the community a bit with some easy setup questions I dealt with in the beginning. Unfortunately I'm not that good of a programmer to contribute, otherwise I would have jumped on immediately. Review Source VA Vighnesh A. Business Partner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Choice for Independent Restaurants" June 17, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with TastyIgniter has been positive. It provides a comprehensive set of features for restaurant and food ordering businesses, including menu management, online ordering, and customer management. The platform is flexible, customizable, and cost-effective due to its open-source nature. While some advanced configurations require technical knowledge, it offers excellent value and control compared to many subscription-based alternatives. Short version: Pros Easy to set up, restaurant-focused, highly customizable, It offers everything needed for online ordering and restaurant management in one place. Cons Advanced customization can require technical expertise, and the selection of themes, extensions, and third-party integrations is more limited than larger commercial platforms. Switched from [WooCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/225601/WooCommerce/) TastyIgniter specifically designed for restaurant operations and online food ordering.

Fullstack Developer Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Open-source Order System for Restaurant" June 18, 2026 5.0 We've been running TastyIgniter for about a year now and it's done the job for us. Setup was straightforward and the admin panel is simple enough that the staff got the hang of it quickly. The main reason we went with it is that it's open source, so we could tweak a few things to fit how we work without hiring a developer for every little change. It did take me a bit to figure out all the settings at the start, and I'd like to see more payment options built in. For something that's basically free though, hard to complain. Pros I like that the user interface is very intuitive and well designed. The simplicity of the menus makes it easy to recommend. All in all it is also better than their non open-source and pricy competitors. Cons I would argue that the translation into different languages needs an update. The language packs are available, but very incomplete. I'd recommend using open-source dictionaries for a seamless experience. Review Source JL Jianing L. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great food order platform" July 23, 2021 5.0 Pros Free and opensource, customizable software that is feature rich with helpful community. Cons Some parts of the software may still contain small issues but these are usually not critical. Alternatives considered [GloriaFood](https://www.capterra.com/p/198378/GloriaFood/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing TastyIgniter Base products are free to use; great community support Review Source ŽB Žiga B. Lead developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great customizable platform" May 21, 2023 4.0 I would hardly be more satisfied with open source project. The community is great, project is amazing, I will continue using it for sure. Pros Admin panel is amazing, it covers most of scenarios that can occur in online ordering. Besides admin panel I reallly like how easy is to develop custom extension without altering the main repository. This was a game changer for me. Cons There are some tweaks I would do here and there but nothing major. I understand that this is open source and can sometimes take time to complete feature requests.Maybe tastyigniter updates could provide better error log in case od failing (mine failed, and i had no idea what was wrong) the I updated php version to 8.1 and it worked. Alternatives considered [GloriaFood](https://www.capterra.com/p/198378/GloriaFood/) Reason for choosing TastyIgniter Tastyigniter was more open, regarding source code, community, extensions.... Review Source DL Daniel L. Softwaredeveloper Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome Software" August 5, 2021 4.0 I deployed TI for a single-location delivery service, the employees and customers likes TI very much. Pros It is very customizable, and if you know what you want to do and how TI works, it is most of the time easy to accomplish. The team and their discord community provide a lot of help and support. Cons You have to learn how TI works. It is most of the time required to checkout the source code since their is not yet every part documented. Reason for choosing TastyIgniter It is free and provide all required functionalities. Switched from [J2store](https://www.capterra.com/p/165628/J2store/)[Joomla](https://www.capterra.com/p/161648/Joomla/) The Joomla page with a customize J2Store installation was more than hacky and used to old technologies. Also we had to pay for J2Store. Review Source AD Arkajit D. CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Affordable and Flexible Restaurant Management Solution" June 17, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with TastyIgniter has been positive. It provides a reliable and cost-effective way to manage online ordering, menus, and restaurant operations from a single platform. The interface is easy to navigate, and the flexibility to customize features is a major advantage. While the initial setup and some advanced configurations can require technical effort, the value and control it offers make it a great solution for restaurants looking to manage their own ordering system. Pros What I liked most about TastyIgniter is how easy it makes managing online orders without paying high monthly fees. The platform is straightforward to use, and setting up menus, orders, and delivery options feels intuitive. I also appreciate the flexibility to customize it based on business needs and maintain full control over customer data. Overall, it's a practical and cost-effective solution for restaurants looking to run their own online ordering system. Cons What I liked least about TastyIgniter is that the initial setup can be a bit challenging if you don't have technical experience. Some advanced features and integrations require additional configuration, which may take time to get right. The reporting and analytics tools are fairly basic compared to some premium restaurant management platforms. Customer support is also more limited than what you'd get from fully managed commercial solutions. Review Source Damián V.

Full stack developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ability to customise " May 10, 2023 5.0 It saves the time by not having to reprogram the basic features needed for a restaurant. Pros What I liked the most as a developer is the ability to modify literally any feature or plugin I needed. I even modified the theme as the owner needed. Cons As a developer, since I can customise and edit everything, I did not feel that there is something missing. Review Source ML Mauricio L. IT Specialist Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best restaurant online ordering system" July 16, 2021 5.0 Pros Before trying tastyIgniter I've tried a lot of options. But this is by far the best application! East to use and maintain, amazing community and regular updates. Cons Permissions and reporting options still basic but pretty sure they will improve those areas really soon. Review Source PB Pradip B.

Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best open source software for restaurants " July 23, 2021 5.0 Pros This is a very good service if you want to provide online ordering and your don’t want to spend money, you just need a shared hosting. Cons If you would like to set up a service like Deliveroo this service is great but needs some development to get it done. Review Source MG Mario G. Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good solution" July 23, 2021 5.0 Pros After several tests with other software I finally found a complete product that meets my needs. Easy to install and configure according to your needs Cons The plugin for Satispay that I will try to create and then offer ul Marketplace as an extension is missing for the Italian market Review Source GB Gabriele B. Manager Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best booking system" May 10, 2023 5.0 Pros Very useful for customers to book a table and for the company to manage reservations. It has many other functions. Cons A version hosted directly by the company would be needed, perhaps with the possibility of using a custom domain. But I see that it is already your intention to implement this, so good. Review Source KS Ketan S. Proprietor Food & Beverages Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Food Ordering System" July 31, 2021 5.0 Pros Easy Setup & Easy Customized Good display & better user interface Cons Location pin code enter but not shaw restaurant location with memu & location setup not Easy in administrative portal Review Source CN Chelsie N.

Pit Boss Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TastyIgniter! The absolute best value for restaurant management! Front of house to kitchen!" July 23, 2021 5.0 I really like TastyIgniter! I was able to find missing functionality, suggest an extension be developed, debug developer's proposed extension from start to final production. We used TI exclusively and were able to increase throughput and management. We are VERY SATISFIED with TI! Pros Free! Easy to use! (My background is IT) Extensibility! Easily added functionality with existing extensions and paid extensions. Cons POS not present, but planned integration into existing POS systems. (not going to implement as that goes against my desire for free software supported by happy users). Setup can be tricky if you are not familiar with website hosting and getting a site up and running. Reason for choosing TastyIgniter TI was free from the get-go. I was able to download the code, install it on a local site for testing and full debugging and then installed on my webhost, configured and fully used to manage our order taking process during our hours of operation and after for back office administration to cross check cash drawer with day's orders. Review Source LO Luis O. Financial Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful easiest way to manage and run your restaurant " July 23, 2021 5.0 TastyIgniter is a gaming change, turns life inside a restaurant much easier! Who uses TastyIgniter have more information about the business, clients habits, and preferences, have on hands what’s happening in the restaurant. It's software that provides simplicity and power in the same place! Pros This is a 360º software that provides more than a simple online order platform. The way the Software was built provides features that sometimes it's not available on "similar or big" software on the market, TastyIgniter has a modern interface, a unique and easy way to set, customize and run restaurants. Extensions are another powerful tool that can increase something that is awesome to another step! Cons The only thing that I like least is about the documentation, as someone that doesn't have a large experience with a programming language, it's hard (to me) to build extensions that can help me to have data as I want to have.

July 24, 2021 4.0 Tastigniter gives businesses an online presence which brings in more customers to businesses. The Software also boost sales easpexialy now during the covid -19 pandenic, people prefer ordering online instead of visiting shops. Pros The Software is light wheight and it comes with great features that makes it very convenient Cons There very few plugins available for the software which and gives business a very small room of choosing extensions that satisfy their needs Review Source CS Chirag S. Sr. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice food ordering system" May 11, 2023 4.0 We want saas product to deliver and pickup order we checked this product and its same like as our requirement. Although we need some extra functionality, we are easily able to update it according to the documentation provided by them. Overall experience is good and its easy to use. Pros The best thing about this platform is that we can overwrite existing functionality without touching the core. In order to extend functionality according to our needs, we can set up our own extensions. TastyIgniter support team also responds quickly if we encounter any problems while developing or using existing functionality. Cons There is sometimes a caching issue if we change the javascript but it doesn't immediately appear in the browser. Reason for choosing TastyIgniter WordPress is being considered, but due to the large amount of data, we are considering Laravel based frameworks, and tastyignor is the same as what we are looking for. Review Source RR Raees R. Technology Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Open and flexible" July 27, 2021 5.0 From making the decision to use TastyIgniter, to doing the implementation, the entire experience was unexpectedly easy. There were no major roadblocks and our solution worked as intended. Pros The most important factor for choosing this as our solution was the ability to customize and integrate with other existing solutions. The codebase is well written and documented. Features work as expected. And integrating other solutions was easy and worked as expected. Cons At the time of integrating our solutions, our needs were met. The customer facing interface customization features could have been more fleshed out, but we simply customized where needed.
