So I will be doing a mobile mockup for this local pizza restaurant chain that has 2 locations. When you go on their regular website you are able to do place online orders. It seems that when I click on the "order online" button for either restaurant it redirects me to a subdomain on 3rd party site that handles all the online ordering. So the website that it takes me to is "restuarntnamelocation.3rdpartydomain.com". When I check out the directory of restaurants for this 3rd party site it seems like they are being used by quite few restaurants to handle their online ordering.

So my question is if the owner likes what he sees with the mobile site that I will be doing for him, but then asks me if I can implement the online ordering as well into the mobile site how can I do this? Is this something that will require a lot of coding or is there a way to have that 3rd party site service implemented into the mobile site as well, but a mobile version of it? So I can have a "online order" button there for those 2 particular locations and it will redirect them to that site for ordering, but will need it to be mobile version.

Or should I just advise client that it's best to take orders by phone and having that "tap to call" button on their mobile site will be the best option for them?

Any help or feedback from those that have come across this type of situation or have found a way to implement this sort of thing?

I think you'd need to do some development to integrate a mobile ordering app into the current online ordering app, and that it would involve some customization.

SIMPLE.

In your question you already gave the answer

They already use a 3d party. So you do to! All those sites have a mobile version to. Just check to make sure on your mobile phone offcourse.

If so, make a button saying "order online" and let it redirect to the 3d party site with the same url as used on the normal website of the restaurant.

And you can also make your own 3d party website in wordpress (mobile friendly) to take orders by using shoppingcart plugins. And also Fiverr is a good place if you need solutions like that.

Hope it helps you?

I just clicked on the "order online" button on their regular website on my Android phone and when I get redirected to the 3rd party site that handles their online orders the site comes up as the mobile version on my phone already (even though the url is the same as the desktop version). So does this 3rd party site already have a redirect implemented for this businesses's unique url so that it brings up the mobile version of the business's online order site when someone is browsing on their phone?

So for me all that I need to do is link that "order online" button on their new mobile site to that 3rd party unique url for this place and it will then automatically detect which version to bring up whether they are on a smartphone or desktop computer correct?

Exactly

Almost all online ordering (dinnersites) have a mobile version, its their bread and butter!

You just make use of that by putting the url behind a button saying; "click here to order online" No need for coding.

Yup it worked just as you said. No coding necessary and it redirects to mobile version when I tested on my phone. Thanks.
