At first glance, it sounds like you may be overfitting an overly-comprehensive technical solution to an extremely cost-sensitive/archaic/offline-centered industry.

Explaining the stack you used to build this platform will likely come off as pure alien speak to the restaurant owners you try to sell to.

But that being said, I only understand restaurants in the US, and not Sicily.[0]

Research is a good place to start - first with your own product, then the larger market (how is it being used, how much value does it bring prestofood, how many orders do they process per day).

If the metrics give you conviction, start by talking to some restaurants.

There was a YC company (Trackin) that focused on this exact concept in the US that went through enough trouble that they've since pivoted to catering like Zesty, Zerocater, etc...

Oh, and effort != good product.
