About eOrderSTL
eOrderSTL is a locally built online ordering and digital marketing platform designed to support and strengthen the restaurant community throughout the St. Louis region. Unlike national ordering apps that take high commissions and distance restaurants from their customers, eOrderSTL was developed with a different purpose: to empower locally owned restaurants with technology, visibility, and marketing that genuinely work for their business.
Our mission is simple — give local restaurants the tools they need to grow online, keep more of their profits, and stay connected to the customers who support them. With our intuitive ordering system, built-in AI-driven marketing, and community-centered approach, eOrderSTL is becoming the preferred platform for restaurants that want a more innovative, more profitable alternative to Big Tech delivery apps.
Our Story
eOrderSTL was founded to solve a growing problem facing independent restaurants: the rising cost of doing business in a digital world. Third-party delivery apps were gaining control of customer relationships, eating into profits, and limiting how restaurants communicate with the people who love their food.
Local restaurants needed a better solution — one designed for them, not against them.
With decades of experience in online publishing, marketing, restaurant engagement, and SEO, St. Louis Media, LLC developed eOrderSTL as a direct response and markets it on St. Louis Restaurant Review. The platform combines powerful ordering technology with local marketing expertise, giving restaurants affordable access to tools that big brands take for granted.
Today, eOrderSTL continues to expand its partnerships, onboard new members, and deliver ongoing innovation to help the St. Louis dining community thrive.
What Makes eOrderSTL Different
Every feature and service offered through eOrderSTL is built around the real needs of independent restaurants.
Local Ownership and Local Commitment
We understand the challenges St. Louis restaurants face because we live, work, and dine here too. Our platform is designed with a local-first mindset, ensuring that members receive the attention, support, and visibility they deserve.
Affordable Online Ordering With Real ROI
National apps can take huge percentages from every sale, making it harder for restaurants to stay profitable. eOrderSTL is committed to offering a more sensible fee structure that allows restaurants to retain more of their revenue while still benefiting from ongoing marketing and customer acquisition.
You Own Your Customer Data
Your customers belong to you — not a third-party platform. eOrderSTL ensures restaurants maintain complete control of their customer lists, enabling stronger relationships, better retention, and more effective marketing.
AI-Powered Digital Marketing Included
Every member receives ongoing marketing support, including email campaigns, SMS alerts, menu promotions, and SEO enhancements. These tools help restaurants reach customers more consistently and stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Integrated Exposure Throughout the St. Louis Media Network
Restaurants receive additional visibility through our publishing and directory platforms, including promotional features, directory listings, and cross-channel marketing that increase awareness and drive traffic.
