Why online ordering

Your guests already want to order from their phones.

The phone rings through the rush

Orders come in typed, paid and on the tablet instead of read back over a bad line.

Guests want to order ahead

They expect to order from their phone and pick up when it's ready. Give them a link that works.

The counter backs up

Guests at the table scan a QR code, order and pay themselves, so your staff can run food instead of taking orders.

Delivery apps take a cut

Orders from your own page are yours: no marketplace commission and no customer list held by someone else.

How it works

From sign-up to first order in three steps.

  1. 1

    Sign up and add your menu

    Create your account, enter your menu, prices and hours in the dashboard.

  2. 2

    Get your kitchen tablet

    We ship you a tablet that rings when an order comes in. Add a Star printer if you want paper tickets.

  3. 3

    Share your ordering link

    Put it on your website, Google profile and Instagram, and print QR codes for the counter and tables.
