Why your own app

Delivery apps take a cut. Your own app doesn’t.

Your app takes the order and your kitchen sees it. Delivery stays yours.

  1. Your app takes the orderAt the table, for pickup, or for delivery with the address.Carte
  2. Your kitchen sees it at onceOn your kitchen screen, with the table or the address.Carte
  3. You deliver itYour own drivers, or a courier you book. On Restaurant Pro, we book it for you through Uber, DoorDash, Wolt, talabat and others, where they run.You

We don't run drivers or a marketplace. Delivery apps still bring new customers; your own app is for the guests who already know you.

$8,000
Their commission
Your own app, Restaurant$179/month
The delivery app’s cut$1,600/month

Your own app keeps $1,421 a month with you.

Rates differ by app and contract. Table and pickup orders cost you nothing more; for delivery, take off what your own driver or courier costs.

Couriers for your delivery orders

  • Uber
  • DoorDash
  • Wolt
  • Glovo
  • talabat
  • Lalamove
  • foodpanda
  • HungerStation
  • Just Eat Takeaway.com
  • foodora
  • PedidosYa
  • iFood
  • Gojek

On Restaurant Pro, each delivery order books one of these couriers through its own delivery API, where it delivers in your city. A fee per delivery, never a share of the order.

FAQ

What owners ask before they start

How fast can I be live?

Your free app is live in about a minute. Your real one, with your own menu, 3 weeks after your menu, photos and logo arrive. Every two extra customizable menu items add a week, and you see your exact weeks before you pay. On Restaurant and Restaurant Pro, the restaurant tools are set up within 6 weeks.

Is there a setup fee?

There's a $490 build fee, once, when you pay every 3 months: we build your app with your menu, photos, colours and your own pizza, burger, taco, ceviche or pollo a la brasa. It's waived when you pay yearly, and for our first 5 restaurants. No commission on your orders, ever.

Do you take a cut of my orders?

No. You pay the flat price of your plan, and every order and every guest is yours.

How do my guests pay?

Not in it: delivery drivers, card payments inside the app, or a link to your till. Your guests pay you directly: at the counter, or when their delivery arrives.

Do my guests need to download anything?

No. Your app opens from a link or the QR code on the table, and they can save it to their home screen. On Restaurant Pro we also design it as a store app and publish it in the App Store and Google Play under your name.

Can it be in other languages?

Yes. Your app and your menu can speak more than one language, and each guest sees it in their phone's language, with a switch one tap away. Menu has one language, Restaurant two and Restaurant Pro three; another is $15 a month.

What can my guests customize?

Any dish they put together from parts: pizza, burgers, tacos, ceviche, pollo a la brasa, or one of your own like bowls or desserts, from your own ingredients. Menu includes one customizable menu item, Restaurant two and Restaurant Pro three. Each one more is $25 a month. The demo has a pizza, a burger and a taco.

What if you're late?

On time, as promised, or your money back. Each part is ready by the week we tell you, counted from the day we get your menu, and does everything listed. For a store app, ready means submitted to the store: the store's own review is outside our hands. If we're late, or it doesn't do what we promised, you get your money back. All we ask is that you answer our questions within 2 working days.

Why at least 3 months?

Every app is built for its restaurant, so we ask for 3 months. After that your plan carries on every 3 months and you can stop when a billing period ends. Or go yearly: it costs less, the build fee is waived and the printed menu and table cards come free (worth $390).

Can I pay once instead?

Yes. Pay once from $4,900, then $49 a month: your app stays on our platform, and we host it, update it and support it.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes, and keep it: the Free plan is $0 for good, no card. Make your own app in about a minute, with your name, logo, colour and ingredients, and its own kitchen screen. Your first 30 days have every Restaurant tool; after that it keeps taking orders on Free, up to 300 orders and 2,000 guests a month, with a small "Ordered with Carte" line. When you grow past it, nothing stops: upgrade for unlimited orders and guests, with no build fee for the app you built. The demo on this page is the same app, running a demo restaurant in Carte's own colours.

Who is Brainy?

A design and product studio, working with brands around the world since 2014. We designed and built Carte, and we build yours.
