The Challenge

Restaurant operators face a perfect storm: rising third-party delivery commissions (25–35%), fragmented marketing tools, and no time to manage digital presence. Most restaurants have no direct ordering system, no systematic way to capture customer data, and no scalable approach to local SEO or review management.

The opportunity was clear: build a unified AI platform that handles the entire customer acquisition and retention loop — from ordering to CRM to SEO to influencer marketing to reviews — at a price point independent restaurants can afford. The target: $397/month for everything.

What We Built

aiorders.io is a full-stack AI SaaS platform built entirely by the 42 Works team. The platform was scoped, designed, built, and launched in 6 weeks, with subsequent iterations shipping every 2 weeks.

It is live, serving real restaurants, processing thousands of orders per month. This is not a demo. Not a pilot. A production system.

Platform Features

Direct Online Ordering

Commission-free direct ordering system with customisable menus, real-time order management, and POS integration. Restaurants own their customer relationships — no third-party commissions.

CRM Automation

AI-powered CRM that automatically segments customers, triggers personalised email and SMS campaigns based on order history, and recovers lapsed customers automatically.

AI SEO Page Generation

Automatically generates SEO-optimised pages for every menu item, cuisine type, and location — capturing high-intent local search traffic at scale without manual effort.

Influencer Campaign Management

End-to-end influencer marketing: discovery, outreach, campaign tracking, and ROI measurement — all within the platform. No separate tools needed.

Review Automation

AI generates personalised responses to Google and Yelp reviews. Positive review requests are automatically sent at the optimal moment in the customer journey.

Catering & Party Orders

Dedicated catering and large order management system with custom quotes, deposits, and event tracking — a revenue stream most platforms ignore.
