The delivery apps did not give you customers. They rented them to you, they keep about a third of every order, and they will not tell you the phone number of the person who just ate your food.
On a $20 order an app can keep around $6. Twenty orders a day through the app is roughly $3,600 a month gone. A site that takes your orders directly is $850 to build and from $30 a month to run, and the customer becomes yours: their number, their order history, and a reason to come back that does not involve somebody else's push notification.
Your full menu, priced and photographed, with a cart and every payment method that works in Lebanon. Orders land with you. It comes up on Google when somebody nearby searches for what you serve, and your Google Business profile gets fixed in the first week so the map listing is right before the site is even finished.
I have built this more than once. Snack Faysal is a Beirut manakish and fatayer institution, and the site is built around its menu and its heritage. The cart, the accounts and the payment methods are a system I have already built and run for a working kitchen, and it gets written to your menu rather than bolted onto it.

Yes. A full cart with accounts and every payment method that works in Lebanon is something I have already built and run for a working kitchen, and it is the same system I would build for you. The order comes to you, and so does the customer.
No, and I would not advise it on day one. Keep them for reach and run your own ordering alongside, then watch which one costs you less per order. The apps stop being a problem once they stop being the only way anyone can order.
$850 to build it, then a monthly plan from $30. Online at $30 covers hosting, SSL, backups and monitoring. Managed at $100 adds five content edits a month and a quarterly report. Complete at $190 is up to 15 edits a month, a monthly report and a quarterly SEO refresh.
Yes. I have built a fully bilingual site that mirrors into right-to-left properly, which is the part most templates get wrong.
We write down what came in over your previous 90 days before we start. If the 90 days after launch have not beaten it, you do not pay for months four, five or six and I keep working through them.
