Restaurant software that keeps orders and margins flowing
We build software for independent restaurants, multi-site groups, dark kitchens, caterers and food brands. It has to be fast for guests, simple for busy staff and reliable on a Friday night.
What gets in the way
- Delivery platforms take a large commission and own the customer relationship.
- Orders arrive from several channels and are re-keyed into the till and kitchen, causing mistakes.
- Allergen and menu information must be accurate across every site and channel.
- Multi-site owners struggle to see sales, labour and waste in one place.
Built with the rules in mind
Restaurant software must support food information and allergen rules, payment security, consumer and accessibility law, and data protection. We build with these in mind and work with your operations and legal advisers, who remain responsible for compliance.
Technologies we often use
How we help in your market
The rules, platforms and buyer expectations differ by region. We design for the one you sell into.
Europe & UK
UK and EU food businesses must show allergen information under food information rules, including Natasha's Law for prepacked food in the UK, and handle guest data under GDPR and marketing consent under PECR. We build menu and allergen data that stays consistent across channels, PCI-aware payments through established providers, and consent-aware loyalty schemes.
United States
US operators face FDA menu labelling rules for larger chains, state and local food codes, PCI DSS for card payments and ADA expectations for accessible websites and apps. We build calorie and allergen data into menus, accessible ordering journeys and integrations with US POS and delivery platforms.
Canada
Canadian restaurants deal with provincial menu labelling rules such as Ontario's calorie requirements, CASL for marketing messages, PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25, and the Charter of the French Language in Quebec. We build bilingual English and French menus and ordering, consent-aware loyalty and province-aware tax handling.

Common questions
How much does a restaurant ordering app cost to build?
We quote from a written requirements document. A branded web ordering site connected to your POS is a modest project, while native apps with loyalty and multi-site menus take longer and can be phased.
Can you integrate with Square, Toast, Lightspeed or Deliverect?
Yes, where they offer APIs. We connect ordering, menus and payments to your POS and aggregators so orders flow straight to the kitchen.
Can we take orders directly instead of paying delivery platform commission?
Yes. We build direct ordering on your own website and app, with your own payment account, so you keep the customer relationship and data.
Can the system manage allergens across all our sites?
Yes. We keep menus, recipes and allergens in one place and publish them to every site and channel, while your team remains responsible for the accuracy of the information.
Can you build QR code table ordering and payment?
Yes. Guests scan, order and pay from their phone, and orders go straight to the kitchen display or printer.
Can you add a loyalty scheme to our app?
Yes. We build points, stamps or offers linked to customer accounts, with consent-aware marketing and reports on repeat visits.
Will it cope with Friday night peaks?
We design and load-test for peak demand, use caching and queues where they help, and host on infrastructure that can scale during busy periods.
Can we see sales and labour for every site in one dashboard?
Yes. We pull data from POS, rota and stock systems into multi-site dashboards so managers can compare locations daily.
Is card payment data handled securely?
We use established payment providers so card details never touch your servers, which keeps your PCI DSS scope as small as possible.
Who owns the app and the customer data?
You do. The code, repositories, app store accounts and customer data are in your name, not ours.
