By industry
Restaurants and cafes
Independent restaurants run on thin margins, and the apps that bring orders also keep a share. DoorDash lists marketplace commissions of 15%, 25% or 30%, and the restaurant does not get the customer's details. (DoorDash merchant pricing.)
15–30%
of each delivery order goes to the app as commission

What owners say they need
- Fewer orders lost to app commissions, and a customer list of their own.
- Help on the phone. People still call about reservations, hours and the menu, and calls go unanswered during service.
- Staff. In a 2026 survey of 380+ independent operators, 49% reported a staffing shortfall. (James Beard Foundation, 2026 Independent Restaurant Industry Report.)
- Fewer tools, used well. The same report found that moderate, intentional technology users did better than both low and high adopters.
What we build
- A direct ordering link on your site, Google listing and every post, using the ordering page your register or delivery partner already gives you where there is one.
- Posts and Google updates timed for your slow days, from one photo you send.
- A rewards rule that favors quiet days, run in the loyalty tool you already have.
- After-hours answers for hours, menu and holiday dates, with reservations and large orders passed to you.
- Group and office order requests that arrive complete.
- Training sheets for new staff in English and Spanish.
What we will not do
- Guess at allergy or ingredient questions. Those always go to a person.
- Add another tablet to your counter.
- Post or reply without your approval.
