Home / Websites & Ordering / Houston restaurant ordering, without the marketplace cut.
Websites & Ordering · HoustonHouston eats at its desk and in its truck. The Medical Center lunch crowd, the crews between jobs, the Montrose food halls — a lot of that volume is ordered ahead on a phone, and a lot of it is currently ordered through somebody who takes a cut.
Or call and talk it through: (305) 215-6132Designed and built for your business, one time.
The same published price wherever you are and whatever you do. It can be bought on its own or folded into a monthly plan on the pricing page.
Houston is a driving city, and that changes what a restaurant's ordering has to do. Nobody is wandering past and looking in. They are deciding, in a car park or at a desk in the Medical Center, whether you are worth the drive or the wait — and they are deciding on a phone screen.
It also means the profitable orders are the big ones. Office catering, crew orders, the standing Thursday order from the same building. Those are exactly the orders a marketplace commission hurts most, because the cut scales with the ticket, and they are exactly the orders that would come direct if there were a way to place them direct.
And the spread of Harris County means your delivery radius is a real business decision rather than an afterthought. When the ordering is yours, that radius is yours to set.
Orders land in your kitchen, payment goes to your processor at your own rate, and the customer stays your customer. The standing office order stops costing you a percentage every week.
It is a web app rather than a native app from a store: it opens in the browser and installs to the home screen with your icon, so the person who orders every Thursday does it in two taps.
Your menu, your service model, and whether ordering is actually your bottleneck. Sometimes it is not, and I will say so.
Items, modifiers, options and prices, written out properly. This is the part that takes the time, and I do it.
On a phone, like a customer, and we fix whatever is annoying before anyone else sees it.
The ordering link goes on your Google profile and your social accounts, and the home-screen install starts turning regulars into repeat orders.
15% to 30% of each order, depending on the plan tier
All-in costs often land nearer 30% to 40% once promotions and the lower tiers' visibility penalties are counted, and the customer stays theirs, not yours.
$2,000 up front, then $149/mo
One published price, one invoice, and the work is done for you.
Figures are typical market ranges shown for illustration, not quotes from named providers. Many vendors price by seat, contact or location and keep pricing behind a sales call.
That is the part it is best at. Large repeat orders are where a per-order commission costs the most, and they are the orders most likely to come direct once there is somewhere direct to send them.
No. Keep them for reaching people who have never heard of you. Use your own ordering for the customers who already have.
Yes. Across Harris County that matters more than it does in a compact city, and it is your call rather than a platform's.
Nothing per order, at any volume. Card processing is separate and is charged by your processor.
Not on this. Growth, marketing and website services — including the website care plan — are month-to-month with no long-term commitment, and you can prepay annually for up to two months free. Payment processing is a separate thing: it is a merchant account and it has its own terms, which I go over with you personally on the free review so everything is clear before you decide.
Yes, any month. There is no cancellation fee and no notice period to argue about on the month-to-month services — I would rather earn the next month than hold you to a term you regret. If you cancel a website plan the domain is yours, registered in your name, and you can take the site elsewhere.
The Growth Audit is free and takes about two minutes to request. I look at what you have now and tell you straight what would move the needle first -- and what would not.
