    Online food ordering services are great for restaurant, but the only trouble is, whilst they do bring business, they eat into your businesses margins.

    Thats why we have developed our bespoke solution, so restaurants can take orders on their own website, with no commissions, they simply own the solution.

    It is made in Bahrain, with the middle east in mind.

    You can see the details at http://www.h2monline.com/foodguys
