Restaurant management system · Built for US independents
Run the whole restaurant. Keep the commission.
FoodyOS is your Restaurant Management System: POS, kitchen display, floor + hostess, online ordering site, in-house delivery, loyalty, inventory — one platform, one login. An order placed on your own site carries no marketplace commission and none of ours: the only per-order fee is your own Stripe account's published rate. DoorDash publishes 15%–30% per delivery order depending on plan (merchants.doordash.com, as of August 2026) — that is what stops being charged on the orders that move to your channel.
One platform. Your whole restaurant.
Turn on what you need today. Light up the rest as you grow.
The math
Pickup orders cost less on your own site.
DoorDash charges 6% on pickup orders through its marketplace, on every plan. Uber Eats charges 7% on pickup when your in-app prices match in-store, and 10% when they don’t. On your own site you pay neither — just Stripe’s 2.9% + 30¢ to process the card. Rates as published by each vendor, August 2026. Move the sliders — see what stays in your bank.

Based on published 2026 marketplace pickup rates and standard Stripe US pricing. Your actual marketplace deal may differ; we’ll model your real numbers in the demo.
Credit where it’s due: Grubhub Direct waives hosting, commission and delivery fees entirely — 0%, with only a per-order processing fee. The catch is the prerequisite: it is offered to Grubhub Marketplace customers, where the marketing commission is 5%, 15% or 20% by plan and the delivery fleet starts at 10% on top, before payment processing. FoodyOS asks for no marketplace membership and takes no cut of any order.

Online ordering
Your customers already order online. Just on the wrong site.
A pickup order that arrives through a marketplace still costs you a commission and still hands over the customer: DoorDash publishes 6% on pickup across every plan, Uber Eats 7% with validated in-store pricing (DoorDash and Uber Eats merchant pricing pages, as of August 2026). FoodyOS gives you the marketplace-class ordering experience on your own URL, powered by your own Stripe account: no marketplace commission, none of ours, just Stripe's published 2.9% + 30¢ on your own account (stripe.com, as of August 2026) — and the customer's details land in your database. The gap is real but conditional: it shows up only on the orders that actually move to your channel.
0%marketplace commission on a direct order
They land on YOUR ordering page from Google, Instagram, or the QR on the table. Browse, build the cart, tap Apple Pay.
The order lands on your KDS the second Stripe authorizes. Pulses red until the line acknowledges. Times itself.
Cashier marks it Ready; the tracking page flips to green. The money: DoorDash takes 6% on a marketplace pickup order — $3.00 on a $50 ticket. Direct, it takes nothing; you pay Stripe's $1.75 on your own account. That $1.25 is yours on the orders that come in direct — and so is the phone number.

Powered by your own Stripe account
Your Stripe account. Your payouts. We just wire it in.
Each restaurant connects its own Stripe account during onboarding — every charge goes directly from Stripe to your bank, with Stripe’s published rates and no FoodyOS markup. We deliberately stay out of the money flow: transparent pricing, full audit trail, no middleman in your finances. One Stripe account drives online checkout, tableside tap-to-pay, and in-person Terminal hardware below.
1
You connect your Stripe
Have one already? Connect it in 60 seconds. Don’t? We help you create it during onboarding — it stays in your name, owned by your business.
2
Direct payouts to your bank
Funds settle next business day from Stripe straight to your bank — never to a FoodyOS account. We literally cannot touch them.
3
Stripe’s published rates, no markup
You pay Stripe what stripe.com says you pay. We don’t resell processing or layer interchange-plus on top. It’d show up on your Stripe dashboard if we did.

Your own hardware
Buy your devices once. Use them for years. No vendor lock.
FoodyOS runs in any modern browser, so the standard setup is the one most operators want: the restaurant buys a few iPads and Android tablets and assigns them to the team for each shift. No multi-year hardware lease, no device dies and you owe four years of payments.
Standard setup
POS — restaurant-owned tablet
Buy an iPad or Android tablet once, assign it to the counter or to a server for the shift. Multi-tab support so the same device can run orders + kitchen view if you need it to. Logs out at end-of-shift; the next shift logs in.
~$200–$300 per device · add as many as you need, no per-terminal software fee. Toast’s Starter Kit is capped at 1 location and 2 terminals, on a 2-year agreement (pos.toasttab.com, August 2026)
Standard setup
KDS — wall-mounted tablet
Mount any 10" tablet on the kitchen line. Timers, column reordering, station routing, and 86'd-item hiding are all software, not hardware. Add stations as you grow — one tablet per station, or one big screen split by station.
~$200 per station · vs Toast Kitchen Display at $749 per screen plus $35/screen/mo (pos.toasttab.com, August 2026)
Standard setup
Server handhelds — your devices
The restaurant typically buys a small fleet of low-cost Android handhelds or older iPhones for the floor — assigned per shift, locked to the FoodyOS app. Each server signs in, takes orders tableside, and signs out at end of shift.
~$120 per refurbished handheld · assigned per shift
Optional flexibility
BYO: employees use their own phones
If you’d rather skip handheld hardware entirely, your servers can sign in to FoodyOS on their own iPhone or Android and take orders / Tap-to-Pay from there. Best for small teams that already trust each other’s devices. You can mix it: front-of-house on company tablets, servers on their own phones.

Receipt & kitchen printing
Print to the thermal printer you already own.
No proprietary KDS box, and no per-screen kitchen-display fee — the kitchen display is part of the flat $149/mo and runs on the tablets you already own. FoodyOS prints customer receipts and kitchen tickets to any ESC/POS thermal printer through two free apps — the FoodyOS iOS app and the FoodyOS Android app — running on an iPhone, iPad, or Android tablet already at your counter or in the kitchen. Both apps are free and included with FoodyOS.
FoodyOS iOS app
Install the free FoodyOS app on an iPhone or iPad at the counter. It connects to your ESC/POS thermal printer over Bluetooth or your local network and prints customer receipts and kitchen tickets. Free and included with FoodyOS.
FoodyOS Android app
Install the free FoodyOS app on an Android phone or tablet by the pass. It connects to your ESC/POS thermal printer over Bluetooth or your local network and pushes kitchen tickets and receipts as orders fire. Free and included with FoodyOS.
- Star Micronics
- Bixolon
- generic ESC/POS
Works with any ESC/POS thermal printer — receipt printing and kitchen tickets. The FoodyOS iOS and Android apps are free and included with FoodyOS. This is operational printing, not fiscal printing (no tax-authority document generation).
In-house delivery
Your drivers, your channel, no marketplace cut.
If you handle deliveries yourself (or want to), FoodyOS is your dispatch system. Draw your delivery zones on a map, set per-zone fees and minimums, manage drivers as users in your account, and route each order to the closest available driver. Your customers track the order; your drivers carry the FoodyOS app on their own phone. Worth knowing: owning the drivers is not the same as escaping the commission — Uber Eats publishes 15% on self-delivery, and Grubhub's marketing commission still applies when you use your own fleet (Uber Eats and Grubhub merchant pricing pages, as of August 2026). An order that arrives on your own site carries neither.
Zones on a map
Draw delivery rings around your restaurant or hand-build polygons for tricky neighborhoods. Different fees, minimums, and ETAs per zone. Out-of-zone orders are politely rejected at checkout.
Driver dispatch
Manual or proximity-based assignment. Drivers see only their queue. Per-driver stats — orders today, average dispatch time, customer ratings — ship in the back office.
Driver app on their phone
No second app to learn. Drivers log in to FoodyOS on their own iPhone or Android, see assigned orders, hit "Picked up" and "Delivered" with one tap. GPS-based status updates flow back to the same tracking link the customer already has.
Live customer tracking
Customers reopen the same tracking link they got at order confirmation — see the kitchen progress, the dispatch moment, and the driver's live location. All on your URL, branded with your name, no marketplace logo.

Run out of an ingredient, the affected items disappear from the menu automatically.

How we compare
FoodyOS vs the big restaurant POS.
Six questions every operator asks — and the honest answer for each platform. Deep dives in the comparison pages below.
| FoodyOS | Toast | Square | Clover | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Per-order commission on direct orders | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| Online ordering site (your URL) | Included | Included add-on | Included | Included |

| AI ordering on WhatsApp | Built-in | No native WhatsApp channel | No native WhatsApp channel | No native WhatsApp channel |
| KDS included in plan | Yes | $749 + $35/screen/mo | $30/device/mo on Plus | No published price |
Competitor figures are the terms each vendor publishes on its own pricing pages, read August 2026: Toast starter-kit checkout (2-year agreement, kitchen screen at $749 + $35/mo), Square restaurant pricing (KDS app $30/device/mo on Plus, $20 on Premium; cancel or switch plans any time), Clover restaurant pricing (bundles financed over 36 months; no kitchen-display price published). Vendors change these without notice and individual deals vary — check the source before you decide.
All in one
One platform. No separate vendors to stitch together.
Running one restaurant can mean stitching together six different vendors: a POS, a website builder, a loyalty app, a print service, a delivery tool, a reservations site. Six logins, six datasets, six support queues. FoodyOS is all of it on one backend — your menu, your customers, your orders, your money, in one place. Whether that comes out cheaper depends entirely on the stack you're running today. What it is, definitively, is one system instead of six.

In short
What FoodyOS is
FoodyOS is an all-in-one restaurant management system that runs the whole operation on one platform: a branded online ordering site, POS, kitchen display, floor and hostess, in-house delivery dispatch, loyalty and inventory. It is built for independent US restaurants that want to take pickup and delivery orders on their own site, where there is no marketplace commission and FoodyOS charges none of its own. The marketplaces publish their own numbers: DoorDash charges 15%–30% per delivery order depending on plan, Uber Eats 20%–30% on its marketplace plans (15% if you deliver with your own drivers), and Grubhub a 5%–20% marketing commission, with Grubhub's own delivery fleet adding a further 10% on top of whichever plan you are on (merchants.doordash.com/en-us/pricing, merchants.ubereats.com/us/en/pricing and get.grubhub.com/grubhub-pricing-and-fees, as of August 2026). Pricing is a flat $149 per restaurant per month with every module included, billed month-to-month. Payments run through the restaurant's own Stripe account at Stripe's published US rates — 2.7% + 5¢ in person and 2.9% + 30¢ online (stripe.com/pricing, as of August 2026) — so payouts settle directly to its bank on Stripe's standard schedule. FoodyOS is not the cheapest restaurant software subscription and does not claim to be: Square publishes $79 per month for POS, kitchen display and online ordering together, which is $70 less than FoodyOS (squareup.com, as of August 2026). The argument is the commission line rather than the subscription line, and the money involved is conditional: it exists only on the orders that actually move from a marketplace to the restaurant's own channel.
How it works
- A customer opens your branded ordering site from Google, Instagram or a table QR code.
- They build a cart and check out with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card through your Stripe account.
- The order lands on your kitchen display the second Stripe authorizes the payment.
- The cashier marks it ready and the customer's tracking page updates for pickup or delivery.
