The problem

Third-party ordering is a trap.

Delivery apps promise volume but take 30% of every order, own your customer data, and list your competitors right next to you. You're paying for the privilege of being commoditized.

How it works

How direct ordering works

STEP 01

Customer visits your website

They find you on Google (thanks to SEO) or go directly to your site. No app download.

STEP 02

Browse and build their order

Your full menu with modifiers, combos, and dietary info. Mobile-optimized checkout.

STEP 03

Pay securely via Stripe

Stripe processes payment. Funds go to your account. Transparent 6.5% platform fee + payment processing.

STEP 04

Order routed to your kitchen

POS integration (Square, Toast) or email/SMS notification. Delivery or pickup, customer's choice.
