Hikashop for food delivery site ?

Hi,

I am looking for a food delivery system, such as Just eat. I was wondering if I could make such a site with Hikashop.

The main difficulties would be to find restaurants (either categories or suppliers for Hikashop) that are close to the customer's address.

The other difficulty would be to create menus, in which at the time of the order it would be necessary to choose options such as the drink, the sauces, etc. But i thing it can be done with the options like this example : demo.hikashop.com/index.php/en/hikashop/...ct-page/with-options . With some choice instead of ram, ex. type of beverage (Coca, Fanta, etc). So i can make a burger menu with options for the things of this menu, right ?

Do you think this is feasible with Hikashop?

Because for the rest, it's all about layout and order management.
The customer who orders must be able to enter his address and thus find the restaurants near him. He places his order which is sent to the site manager. The manager sends a courier to pick up the food from the restaurant and delivers it to the customer.

I thing i will have to use the multi-vendor mode. One vendor for each restaurant...

Regards.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.

I still have a few questions in order to go ahead with this project:
1. It seems to me but I'm not sure if we can lock in the fact that a customer can only order from one vendor at a time, right? A customer should not be able to order from different restaurants on the same order.

2. When a customer places an order, can we send a confirmation email to the admin of the site + to the seller concerned?

3. If the seller is connected to his seller account, in his orders, does it appear directly when an order arrives or does he have to reload the page?
The idea is that the partner restaurants also receive the order at the same time as the delivery company (the admin site). So that they are logged into their vendor account and see the orders, without necessarily using the email to see them.

And finally, in terms of commission distribution, the admin site wants to manage this manually, depending on the amount of business done in the month at the partner restaurant. I imagine that he can manage this on his side and then pay the restaurant as he wishes?

Thank you for your future answers.

OK thanks.

So for the notification plugin, I understand that it displays a popup, but where does it display this popup? Because the partner restaurant (seller) will not have access to the site admin, only to his seller account in frontend.

For the commissions, (sorry for these questions but as I have not yet finished to configure my first multi-seller site I do not know yet how it works), in fact, the seller would not need to see the commissions / fee on the orders, because the admin of the site will make a manual calculation each month, and the rate of commissions will vary depending on the month.

So we could just not put any commission, so that if it shows up somewhere on the seller's account or invoice, he will see the full price. Then the admin will do the split?

Regards

OK perfect.

Thanks you.

Hi again,
I would like to do a test with the HikaMarket Vendor User Location Filter plugin, but I can't find any documentation on it. How can I make the seller choose the Zip or cities?

I can see the plugin but if I activate it, nothing happens in the seller profile. Thank you for clarifying this for me.

And for the notification plugin, I imagine that the notification appears only for the seller from who the order was made (+ the admin) but not the other sellers. This seems logical to me but I prefer to be sure.

Regards.

OK thank you, i have to test it.

But like that, i be able to create a custom field for the vendor to put many ZIP codes in a vendor profile, so it will show when i searh by the filter in frontend ?

Example : Vendor A, ZIP in admin 1004 / 1005 / 1006 / 1007.
In frontend, if i put 1005, the vendor is showing, right ?

OK,
thank you very much.

Hello,
My client is ok and I will be able to go ahead with this project, and order Hikashop products. Thanks again for your help.

I still have a request from my client, and I don't know if it's possible to do something. He would like to know if it is possible for restaurants (sellers) to lock the possibility to order according to certain opening hours of the restaurant? So different hours depending on the opening hours of the restaurant.

Regards.

Hi,
Thank you.

Currently (and I think it will stay that way) the configuration of vendors will be managed by the admin site, not by the vendors themselves.

Do you offer this kind of custom configuration in your services?
If so, what would be the cost to be able to "simply" set the order times per vendor?

OK, i will talk about it with my client and come back in the contact form if needed.

Hello,

I tested the plugin "shop close hours" and it works on categories. Since I'm only using sellers and redirecting categories to seller pages, it works like this.

However, I see that I can add the products to the cart, and only when I want to finalize my order I get the notification of the times and therefore I can't order.

Ideally for my customer I would not be able to add to cart on a seller that is "closed".

Is it possible to do this? If so, how? With a custom from you?

OK,
Can you give me a price for that by email at :
