Create an online shop for restaurant chain with multiple locations

Hi,
I want to create an online shop.
I have a restaurant chain with multiple restaurants. The food is delivered by the restaurants.
The business has different locations with different opening hours. And not all products are sold by all locations.
Is is possible to create only 1 online shop for all locations together?
Ideally people would have to enter their address first to determine which services are available for them.
Example: Customer enters his address or postcode first and then he sees the selection of products he can order?

@Dom123 I have multiple locations that have similar but not the same menus. I went the route of separate websites. The setup and management of multiple stock locations per item and availability can be done, but is a little cumbersome if there are a lot of differences. The system is set up for this though.

The problem I see is the last part, where a customer enters his or her address and then gets the location they can order from. I don't really see this is the restaurant industry as a whole. I have seen proximity location ordering, but you can still change the store.

You could still go the multiple website route for simplicity and just create an aggregator page similar to what I have here:

Food Knoxville

You can play around with an online site without publishing it or buying a domain to see what it looks like. They will give you a generace name.square.site address to use.
