Who it's for
You already have people who want your food. This gives them a real place to order and pay.
Home kitchens
Set your hours, cap how many you make, and it stops taking orders when you sell out.
Pop-ups
Weekend-only, new spot every week, preorders that don’t live in your DMs.
Food trucks
Post where you’re parked today. People order ahead so the window line moves.
Catering
Headcount, event date, and the address — all in one order instead of a text thread.
Run day-to-day orders from your phone
Every store comes with an owner dashboard. These are real screens from a demo kitchen — open it yourself and tap around.
Orders
Every order in one place. Tap Accept, then Cooking, then Ready. Call or text the customer with one tap.
Your menu
Change a price, add a special, or mark something sold out. Your store updates the second you save.
Your sales
This week vs last week, your best sellers, and how much came in by card or at pickup.
- Prep list that adds up what to cook for today
- Customer list with repeat customers marked
- Pause orders with one switch when you’re slammed
- Share button with your link, QR code and a ready-made post
- Set hours, pickup spot, delivery fee and area
- Payouts straight to your bank through Stripe
How it works
1. Tell us about your food
Five quick questions — what you sell, pickup or delivery, your hours. Then pick Store ($50) or Plus ($100).
2. Your draft is ready
We apply the look you picked, your name, and the menu you pasted. Fix photos and dishes on your phone. Nothing is public yet.
3. Share your link
Go live yourself, or we polish it within 3 business days. Post the link. Customers order and pay.
Draft right after you pay. We polish Store in 3 business days, Plus in 1–2 — or you launch yourself.

“But…”
- “I already get orders in my DMs.”
- That’s exactly who this is for. Send them your link — they order, pay up front, and you have their name and number for next time.
- “I don’t want another monthly bill.”
- It costs less than one busy weekend of app fees. Pause up to 2 months a year. Cancel anytime.
- “I’m not good with computers.”
- You don’t have to be. The draft is already yours. You tap buttons on your phone. If you can post on Facebook, you can run this.
Ready for your own store?
Five quick questions. Send your menu and photos after — a picture of a paper menu works.
Questions
- Do I need to know anything about websites?
- No. You see a draft of your store right after you sign up. After that, running it is tapping buttons on your phone — about as hard as posting on Facebook. Stuck? Text or email us.
- Who gets the food money?
- You do. Card payments go straight into your own Stripe account. We take 3.5% on Store or 2% on Plus — not the 15–30% delivery apps take. Stripe’s own processing fee is separate and charged by Stripe.
- Who handles refunds and chargebacks?
- You do, right inside your own Stripe account — it’s your business and your customers. Stripe walks you through any dispute. KitchenCheckout never holds your food money.
- How fast is it ready?
- You see a private draft right after signup. We polish it within 3 business days on Store, 1–2 on Plus. You can also go live yourself once your menu, look, and payouts are ready.
- Do I need a licensed kitchen?
- You’re responsible for cottage-food rules, permits and taxes where you live. We’re the software, not the restaurant.
- Who delivers?
- You do, or the customer picks up. We’re not DoorDash. You set your own delivery fee and area.
- Can I cancel?
- Anytime. Your store stays up through the month you paid for. Full refund within 7 days if we haven’t delivered your store preview.
- Can it be in Spanish?
- Sí. Your store can be English and Spanish — check the box when you sign up. Tap “ES” at the top for this page en español.
- Is there an app?
- The native apps are not in the app stores yet. Today, your store and owner dashboard work in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download required.
- Who owns KitchenCheckout?
- KitchenCheckout is a JustBuildNGo product. JustBuildNGo is a Grant Corporation web agency.
