Greetings. Anyone have any experience implementing an eCommerce solution for a catering company? I like to craft this in WordPress.

1. On-line ordering with 50% deposit via Paypal at time of placing order.

2. Generates an emailed invoice for balance due 7 days before date of catered function.

3. Reservation or calendar system so too many functions can't be booked during the same time frame.

4. Ability for the customers to access all of their previous orders to make reordering easier.

5. Ability to automatically add a delivery charge based upon distance in miles, using Google maps.

The idea is to make this system as totally hands free and phone call free as possible as the caterer spends more time on the phone handling the menu selections and bookings as he does cooking and delivering food.

Any assistance that you can offer pointing me in the right diection will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers. - Frank

    Any reason why it has to be wordpress? This screams Drupal to me and would probably be a better fit for your needs. I would check out Drupal, Ubercart and Drupal Commerce as I think it will give you the most flexibility to do what you want. Still open source and can be hosted on inexpensive hosting as well.

      Yes! I'm old and I'm tired. I have absolutely no desire to learn another platform, from scratch. lol

      OK, but only as a last resort. I'll see if anyone chimes in with a WP solution.

      If not, how much do you want to do it?

        So - no WordPress mavens out there with any whiz-bang ideas to pull this off? Sad. Very, very sad. lol

      OK. I visited your site. Not only do I not see a blog, I don't see anything that relates to my post. There really are less creepy ways to get people to your site.

      Well, I sure feel stupid. Because I actually clicked your link and looked for your blog.

      Aside from the fact that there does not appear to be a blog there at all, what part of your contribution to this thread is in any way a response to anything that is being asked about?

      Oh wait, you were just looking for suckers to click your link? Oh, and maybe if enough of us do, you'll what? Sell this stupid program through your affiliate link?

      3-2-1 boom.

      I am not reporting your blatant violation of a post, because I hope lots of people see my response to you before the mods get wise to it and nuke you.
