Instinctor is a free WordPress plugin that takes food orders on your own site: a live menu, a cart, pickup and delivery, with no marketplace taking a cut of every plate. It all runs on Impulse, the Instinctor website builder.
YOUR SITE, NOT AN APP
Most restaurants rent ordering from a delivery app that takes 15 to 30 percent of every order and owns the customer. The WordPress alternative is usually a menu plugin, an ordering plugin and a payments bridge stitched together.
Instinctor runs the menu, the cart and checkout in one plugin, so orders come straight to you with no commission and no middleman.
Online ordering
A cart and checkout on your own site, for pickup or delivery.
Orders, and you keep the profit
Customers order straight from your site. No app skims a third off the top, and the money is yours.
A live menu
Your full menu online, with photos, prices and out-of-stock control.
A menu that sells
Update an item or a price in seconds, mark things sold out, and let a hungry visitor order in a tap.
Pickup and delivery
Set pickup times, delivery zones and fees that fit your kitchen.
Pickup and delivery, your rules
Offer pickup windows and delivery areas you control, with lead times that match how your kitchen runs.
Order-ahead and scheduling
Let customers order for later, not just now.
Orders timed to your line
Take scheduled orders so the kitchen is not slammed, and every ticket lands timed and routed.
Smart chat, 24/7
A chat assistant that answers and takes orders after close.
Answers and orders around the clock
The chat answers questions and takes an order even after the last table leaves, so you never lose a late customer.
You own it
Your menu, orders and customers all live on your WordPress site.
Your customers stay yours
No marketplace rents your own diners back to you. Orders, the list and the reputation are yours.

BUILT TO KEEP THE ORDER
Get found, keep the order
Search your restaurant right now and a delivery app is probably sitting at the top. Instinctor is built to send that order to you instead.
Built to be found
Fast, search-ready pages tied to your Google profile, so your site competes for your own name.
No commission
Every order comes straight to you, with no 15 to 30 percent cut on the way.
One place for it all
Menu, orders and customers share one login, right in WordPress.
WHY SWITCH
Your site instead of an app's cut
The delivery apps take 15 to 30 percent of every order and own the customer. The usual WordPress route is a menu plugin plus an ordering add-on plus a payments bridge.
