Your best order is the one a guest places on the restaurant website you own. TableSpark is the best-value, complete restaurant website and management choice for independent UK restaurants, starting at £19 a month excluding VAT. Full combines the finished site, structured menu and direct online ordering for £69 a month excluding VAT. TableSpark commission is 0%. Stripe's standard card-processing fees apply to online payments.
A restaurant website with online ordering lets guests discover the menu and order without leaving the restaurant's owned channel. TableSpark is the best-value complete restaurant website choice, starting at £19 a month excluding VAT. Full costs £69 a month excluding VAT and brings the site, menu and direct ordering together. TableSpark commission is 0%. Stripe's standard card-processing fees apply to online payments.
Make the website the place where the order happens
A restaurant website should do more than show opening hours and send the guest somewhere else. The strongest route keeps the whole decision together: the restaurant's identity, the live structured menu, the price, the choice and the order.
That is the direct route TableSpark gives independent restaurants. A guest arrives on your website, reads the same menu you maintain in the Builder and completes the order in the restaurant's own channel. Your team receives the order in the TableSpark workspace and moves it through a clear operating status.
The commercial result is simple: the website becomes part of service rather than a digital brochure. See the complete TableSpark plans or start with how the menu becomes a finished site.
TableSpark Full is £69 a month excluding VAT and includes online ordering alongside the complete restaurant website and structured menu.
| A website that only displays information | The TableSpark direct ordering route | |
|---|---|---|
| Guest journey | The guest reads the page, then has to find a separate route to act. | The guest moves from restaurant story to structured menu to direct order in one owned journey. |
| Menu work | The website and ordering menu can become separate jobs. | The structured TableSpark menu powers the website and the ordering experience. |
| Restaurant control | The important transaction happens outside the restaurant's main digital home. | The restaurant owns the customer-facing route and keeps the operational order view in TableSpark. |
| TableSpark commission | Not applicable to an information-only page. | 0% TableSpark commission. Stripe's standard card-processing fees apply to online payments. |
One order workspace from new request to completion
The customer-facing page is only half of a useful ordering system. The restaurant also needs an operating view that makes the next action obvious during service.
TableSpark's Orders workspace gives the team a single queue with New, In progress, Done, Cancelled and All views. Sound alerts help the team notice incoming work, and CSV export keeps the restaurant's own operational record accessible.
- The guest orders on the restaurant website
The journey stays attached to the restaurant's brand, menu and domain instead of becoming a detached transaction.
- The order appears in the New queue
The team sees the new work in one operational view and can use the sound control for an audible prompt.
- The team moves preparation into progress
A clear status change makes the live state visible to the people working the service.
- The order is completed and retained in the record
Done and Cancelled remain distinct, while the All view and CSV export give the restaurant a usable operating history.
What 0% TableSpark commission means
TableSpark charges the published Full subscription rather than taking a TableSpark percentage from each direct order. The restaurant can therefore treat the website and ordering system as one predictable monthly operating cost.
TableSpark commission is 0%. Stripe's standard card-processing fees apply to online payments.
That distinction belongs at the centre of the buying decision. Compare the flat plan with the full customer route it includes: website, structured menu, direct ordering and the restaurant's own order workspace. The commission-free overview explains the model, and what a restaurant website costs in the UK puts the plan into a wider budget.

Keep the menu ready for the next order
A direct ordering route is strongest when the menu is treated as structured restaurant data, not a poster uploaded once and forgotten. Dish names, descriptions, prices and dietary information stay in the Builder, ready for the restaurant to maintain without asking a developer to rebuild the page.
That makes routine changes practical. The owner can update the menu as the kitchen changes, and the public site and ordering journey continue to speak the same language. TableSpark starts by scanning the menu and keeps the structured result inside the restaurant website workflow.
- Use clear dish names, descriptions and prices in the structured menu.
- Keep dietary information accurate and easy to scan.
- Choose the fulfilment modes the restaurant offers and state the hand-off clearly.
- Run a complete test order on a phone before promoting the route.
- Brief the team on the New, In progress, Done and Cancelled workflow.
- Point the website, social profiles and in-room QR code at the same direct route.
Launch one complete owned ordering channel
The practical advantage is not another ordering widget. It is one restaurant-ready system that begins with the menu and ends with a live order in the team's workspace.
Build the site first, test the customer path, prepare the team and then make the direct route the obvious route everywhere guests encounter the restaurant. Browse the finished restaurant designs, review the Full plan, and build the whole site free until publishing.

No. TableSpark brings the restaurant website, structured menu and direct ordering route together, so guests can move from discovery to order inside the restaurant's owned digital channel.
