Website POS/ Account Management Question

[dreaminBIG]

So I have finally filed for the LLC and registered the domain to my website. My next move is getting my EIN from the IRS and start outsourcing the programming of the site. I've been thinking a lot about how my site will work, which has led to a problem I know nothing about. I have no idea how I will go about asking the site programmer to add a "shopping cart" and automated account management system. I want to sound at least semi-intelligent when talking to the programmers so hopefully someone here can help me sort out what I need to ask for in scripting/programming terms, and maybe give better or more efficient ideas.

Here is how I imagine the site working. Restaurant owners register for an account then post their menus for to-go and delivery. Customers go to the site, click on the items they want then checkout. The order is then sent via email to the store for the food to be made. Through the restaurant's account, they will be able to: 1) see a history of all prior orders.
2) track how much money they have made from the site
3) track customer reviews
4) see pending orders
5) get paid for the orders processed through my site
6) post menus with a company logo.

The customers will be able to:
1) check out using a credit card
2) track their previous orders
3) click on items to add to their cart
4) write reviews

What do I need to ask for (or do myself) to make sure my site is secure, and process orders? I will make money off taking a small percent off each order going through my site, so that is why the account management system will be so important. How will the restaurants get paid, and how will I assure that I get paid as well?

Thanks for reading!! I know it's long but hopefully someone will learn from this thread later on down the road.
