Commission-free ordering
Online Ordering for Mexican Restaurants, On Your Own Site
Your customers are already ordering online — the only question is who collects the fee. Every order that arrives through a marketplace hands over a cut of the ticket and the customer's contact details along with it.
Tacoter gives your restaurant its own ordering page, priced as software instead of a percentage.
Renting Your Own Demand Back From the Apps
Marketplaces are genuinely good at first-time discovery. The trouble starts on order eleven from the same customer, when you are still paying a finder's fee for someone who already knows your name and your pastor.
Worse, that customer is theirs on paper. You cannot text them a Friday special, you cannot see whether they stopped coming, and if the app raises its rate you have no other channel to fall back on.
- A quarter of the ticket gone on repeat customers
- No contact details for people who order weekly
- Menu and hours drifting out of sync across apps
- Promotions you can't run because you don't own the channel
A Direct Ordering Channel You Control
Your Tacoter page carries your name, your photos and your full menu — including the plates the apps make awkward to model. Customers pick up or get delivery, pay by card or Apple Pay, and the whole ticket stays yours minus card processing.
Orders land in the same queue as counter and phone orders, print to the kitchen and text the customer when the food is ready. The customer record is created as they check out, ready for marketing tomorrow.
- Zero commission on orders through your own site
- QR codes and short links for counter, receipts and social profiles
- Scheduled ordering for catering and big weekend pickups
- Automatic ready-for-pickup texts
What Direct Ordering Includes
Mobile-first checkout
Most orders happen on a phone in under a minute, with saved cards for returning customers.
Pickup and delivery zones
Set a radius, a fee and a minimum, or turn delivery off and keep it pickup-only.
Prep-time control
Push quoted times out during a rush so promises stay honest when the kitchen is buried.
Upsells at the right moment
Suggested horchata or extra tortillas at checkout, chosen from what similar orders included.
Order tracking page
Customers watch their order move from received to ready instead of calling to ask.
Gift card and balance payments
Redeem digital gift cards at checkout with the balance applied automatically.
Getting Customers to Order Direct
Owning the channel matters only if people use it. The pattern that works: a QR code at the register, your link printed on every bag, and one line on the receipt telling customers ordering direct is cheaper for them and better for you.
Then use what you own. A first-order thank-you with a small offer, and a text when their favorite is back on the specials board, moves habit far faster than a discount war on a marketplace.
- Counter QR code and printable table cards
- Your link on receipts, bags and social bios
- First-order and win-back automations that build the habit
Online Ordering FAQ
- How fast can I take my first online order?
- Same day. Menu setup starts from a photo of your printed menu, and once you approve it your ordering page is live.
- What does it cost per order?
- Tacoter takes no commission on orders from your own site; you pay standard card processing on the payment itself.
- Do I have to leave the delivery apps?
- No, and most owners don't at first. Use them for discovery and move repeat customers to your own page over time.
- Can customers order for later?
- Yes. Scheduled pickup and delivery windows are supported, which is what makes catering and party orders workable.
