If you have a domain name such as www.myrestaurant.com already for your restaurant, you will keep and retain ownership. If you do not have a website, you will need to create a domain name for your business using an online domain registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap or Domain.com After you create a domain or if you have a website, we will create the pages that will function as the “APP” pages within your existing website or a new website that we will build for you. Your APP will be hosted within your own hosting account by your chosen hosting service such as Bluehost, GoDaddy, Host Gator etc.

Whether you have an existing hosting provider for your current website or are in need of a new website, the files associated with your new APP will reside and be hosted on web servers. In addition, if you currently have a website, we will transfer the files of your website to our servers as our APP development is provided as a monthly service with the files of the APP remaining in our possession.  During the duration of your contract with us, the files of your WEBSITE will reside on our servers.   When and if you decide to end your contract with us, your website files will be returned to you via a secure online folder for you or your developer to upload to your web hosting account.  However, you will no longer have access to your APP files.  So in summary, your website and its files are yours, the APP files remain in our control.

We do not offer this option as we have our own proprietary software for integration of your website with the app and this software remains in our possessions  and resides on our servers at all times.

Yes you can.  Based on your requirements we can create the ability for you to offer delivery services to your customers.

In order for your customers to download your APP on their smartphone, there will be a button located at the bottom of your website when someone views your website from their smartphone or tablet. Once the user clicks on the button, an app icon associated with your website  will download to their phone.  The user will then need to complete a one-time registration process in order to give them total access to their profile, dashboard and the ability to place food orders from within the app from their mobile device.   This process will work for Android and IOS mobile operating systems

No you do not.  Our process allows the restaurant owners to offer an APP that does not require your users to go through any additional steps other than clicking on a button on your website.  In this way as well, you will control all of your data and client information.  Unlike some other developers who create APPS for business owners and submit your APP to Google or Apple, we do not try to make money from advertising so your users WILL NEVER receive any annoying ads or other promotions from anyone other than you, the restaurant owner!

We can set you up to take all major US credit cards & Paypal. For an additional fee, we can also offer you the ability to accept CashApp as a payment option.  This requires a few simple extra steps when receiving orders from your APP subscribers.

You can be notified by either email, or Push Notification. When logged into your dashboard, you will see a tab called “Online Orders”. When clicking on this tab, you will see all current orders and their current status for the day. When clicking on an order, you will see an option to “Notify Customer” that allows you to notify the customer that their order is ready and or send them messages  and status updates about their order.   We recommend that you use a tablet that will allow you and or employees to see new orders and notify customers as they come in from the APP.  when logged into your dashboard.

You will be assigned access to your dashboard once we have completed development of your APP. You will be assigned a username and password that you can change upon your initial login.  From here you will have access to all admin related features of the app.  You as the site owner can also give your employees access to certain features of the admin such as creating coupons, messaging customers etc.

You can send messages to your subscribers via SMS/MMS or email. For email messages, you must create a Mailchimp account for which you will need to add your username and password for this feature to work. 

You can send as many emails per month as you like. You can also send as many text messages as you want as well.  As part of your monthly fee, you are allowed to send up to 300 messages at no charge, However, every message you send above this number you will be charged a fee of .15 cents per message sent. So for example, if you send 500 additional messages, you will be charged a fee of $7.50.

We make every effort to ensure that your customers’ information is kept safe within our company servers with the latest security protocols. However, a determined hacker and or other individual who has a reason or purpose to target your business may be able to find a backdoor into our system and or any system.  While we can’t promise to stop everyone, we promise we will take our best efforts to prevent this from happening.

You can contact us by sending a support ticket from within your dashboard and following the directions.

The monthly fee is $95 per month for each location to host the APP for your subscribers, access to your dashboard and 300 initial text messages.
