Restaurant Software for Philadelphia Restaurants
Choosing restaurant software is easier when it follows your menu, equipment and service plan. Philadelphia publishes a plan-review guide for stationary food businesses, including menu and equipment information. Use the official guide below for its current requirements, and use this checklist to evaluate the software separately.
Prepare your menu for the website
Keep a current, owner-approved menu with item names, descriptions, prices and modifiers. Check that staff can update it without breaking the online order link. Philadelphia’s plan-review guide requests food handling and menu information for its process; verify what your particular application requires with the city.
Explore restaurant websitesTest the equipment and POS together
List the screens, printers and payment devices you intend to use. Ask the POS provider which devices work together and how an order reaches the kitchen. In a demonstration, enter a special instruction, split a check and correct an item. Confirm device and payment compatibility for your plan.
Explore the restaurant POSCheck the full pickup journey
Open the menu on a phone, customize an item and choose a pickup time in a test flow. Confirm what the guest sees and what the team receives. Ask how staff can stop an unavailable item from being ordered and how direct-order fees are calculated.
Explore online orderingFollow the order through preparation
Write down each order source and the point where staff accept it. Test a change after the order is received and verify whether the kitchen sees the update. Ask which channels integrate with the management system and what the fallback is when a connection fails.

Test a booking for a small party and one for a larger group. Check how staff alter the time or remove an unavailable table. Ask about confirmation messages and how phone reservations are entered, and confirm which features are included.

Decide whether your staff or a delivery provider handles each order. Check the service area, charges, pickup instructions and process for a delayed driver. Ask the provider to demonstrate the workflow and confirm the delivery options available for your location.

If you use an AI-assisted site tool, review its draft before it goes live. Compare item names, prices, opening hours and claims with your approved records. Ask who owns the content, how changes are approved and whether the feature is offered in the plan.
