Independent restaurant orderingTake online orders
Take online orders
without giving away the margin.
A direct ordering site built around your menu, pickup flow, hours, and kitchen—not a marketplace trying to own the customer.
The plain answer
Customers order from a fast mobile page, pay directly, and receive confirmation. Your team controls the menu and sees clean tickets or alerts without answering every takeout call.

What direct ordering fixes
The problem should be obvious before the software starts.
These are the practical signals we look for. If none sound familiar, you probably do not need a custom build yet.
Marketplace dependence
Your regulars can order from you directly under your own name.
Menu friction
Sold-out items, options, pricing, and hours can be updated without calling a developer.
What the first version includes
Small enough to ship. Useful enough to matter.
We keep the first build focused on the work that pays back time, prevents mistakes, or makes it easier for a customer to buy.
- Mobile orderingA fast menu and checkout that works well from a customer's phone.
- Menu managerControl items, modifiers, pricing, availability, and hours.
- Kitchen alertsClear order details by screen, email, text, or the workflow chosen in your scope.
- Direct paymentsStripe checkout sends funds to your business account.
Is this worth building?
A quick fit check.
Probably a good fit
- Takeout calls interrupt service
- Your menu is reasonably structured
- You want a direct relationship with regulars
Probably not yet
- Delivery logistics are the main need
- Your point-of-sale cannot accept any outside workflow
- You need a national marketplace audience
Not sure which side you are on?
Answer five short questions. We will estimate the time being lost and show the smallest sensible starting point.
Common questions
Short answers, before you reach out.
Does SYSTALOG take a percentage of orders?
No. SYSTALOG charges the quoted build and monthly support price. Your payment processor may still charge its standard transaction fee.
Can we turn off sold-out items?
Yes. Practical menu availability controls are part of the representative scope.
Does it include delivery drivers?
The focused example is pickup ordering. Delivery dispatch can be scoped separately if it is truly needed.
