Yes, you can build a food delivery website using WordPress and WooCommerce, but you’ll need a few extra plugins to make it work like a real delivery platform. WooCommerce covers the basic online store part, but the delivery features have to be added separately.
A simple setup usually includes:
WooCommerce – for your products and checkout
A restaurant/food menu plugin – to display food items in an easy-to-browse layout
A location or PIN-code checker – to control where deliveries are available
Delivery date and time plugin – so customers can choose when they want their order
Live order status or tracking add-ons – optional but helpful
Delivery partner/driver management tools – if you want to assign orders to riders
A lot of small restaurants start with this kind of WordPress setup before they move to a dedicated mobile app. For example, apps like Cravess (a growing Food Delivery App in Delhi) usually begin with a similar structure and later shift to custom-built systems when they need advanced features like real-time tracking, multi-restaurant support, or automated payouts.
So yes, WooCommerce works fine for a basic food delivery site, but if you plan to scale or add more complex features, you might eventually need a custom solution.
