Developer for Restaurant Online Ordering Apps, Website Setup & Local SEO (Ongoing)

I run a business building websites and online ordering apps for local restaurants. I handle all the design. I need a developer to take my finished designs and make them work: ordering, payments, kitchen integration, launch, Google setup. The right person gets steady, long-term work. Part of the job is turning our builds into a reusable template so each new restaurant launches faster. WHAT YOU'LL DO Online ordering apps - Turn my designs into a working installable web app (PWA): menu, item options/modifiers, cart, pickup time slots, order confirmation texts/emails - Integrate payments through Stripe and/or Square (hosted checkout, no card data stored) - Send orders to the kitchen via tablet screen, printer, or directly into the POS (Square, Clover, Toast) - Build a simple admin page so owners can edit menus, mark items sold out, set hours, and pause ordering - Add loyalty/rewards and push notifications - Test thoroughly before launch and fix issues fast after Website technical setup - Connect domains, hosting, and the "Order Now" flow to the sites I design - On-page SEO, restaurant schema markup, menus as real text - Keep sites fast and mobile-friendly Google & local SEO - Set up and optimize Google Business Profiles, including the online ordering link - Clean up listings across Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook, and delivery apps - Set up Search Console and a simple monthly results report per client MUST HAVE - At least three live web app you built that takes payments - Hands-on experience with Stripe or Square APIs - Modern stack experience (React/Next.js, Node.js, Supabase/Firebase or similar) and comfort using AI coding tools to work faster - Able to build accurately from someone else's designs - Local SEO / Google Business Profile experience - Responsive, and organized - Must be available during US Central Time. - Restaurant or food ordering projects - Toast, Clover, or Square POS integration - App Store / Google Play publishing HOW WE'LL WORK - I provide the design. You build, connect, test, and launch. - Clear scope per restaurant. Work is verified by results (live and tested), not just marked "done." - Start with a paid test, then ongoing work - Fixed price per restaurant build, plus a monthly fee for support, updates, and SEO PAID TEST TASK (fixed price, $100-$150) I'll send a design for a one-page ordering screen. Build it as a working demo with 6 menu items (with options), a cart, and Stripe test-mode checkout, deployed to a live link. TO APPLY, ANSWER THESE: 1. Link a live web app you built that takes payments. What stack did you use, and what was your part? 2. A restaurant's online orders stopped reaching the kitchen at 6pm on a Friday. Walk me through how you'd find and fix it. 3. A restaurant has an image-only menu on its website and a different phone number on Yelp than on Google. What do you fix first, and why? 4. What's your hourly rate, and roughly how long would it take you to build a pickup-only ordering app (menu, cart, Stripe checkout, kitchen order screen, admin page) from a finished design? 5. Start your proposal with the word "Kitchen" so I know you read this post.
