I designed and developed a custom restaurant ordering plugin that dynamically calculates delivery charges based on the actual distance between the restaurant and customer’s delivery address.

The system integrates map-based distance calculation so that when a customer enters their address during ordering, the delivery fee is calculated automatically and added to the order total before final payment. This ensures pricing transparency, fair delivery costs, and a smoother checkout experience.

The plugin is built for WordPress / WooCommerce, with a clean architecture that allows the same logic to be implemented as a separate Shopify plugin. The solution is optimized for performance, accuracy, and scalability, making it suitable for single restaurants as well as multi-location food businesses across the UK.

Key highlights:

Real-time distance-based delivery charges

Automatic fee calculation before checkout

Map-based address validation

Seamless WooCommerce integration

Shopify-ready plugin architecture
