Online ordering for independent restaurants: Your menu, your name, your customers.

Collection and delivery on your own website and app, under your restaurant's name. Orders chime at the pass, and card payments go to you.

What a restaurant needs

What is an online ordering system for a small restaurant?

Customers order from your own website or app, for collection or delivery, alongside the tables you already serve. The order chimes on a tablet at the pass, the docket prints, and the card payment goes into your own account.

  • A menu that reads like yours

    Courses, sides and extras as options, with allergen and dietary labels on every dish.

  • Your name on it

    Your colours, your photos and the pages you write, on your own domain.

  • Prep times you set

    Twenty five minutes at lunch, longer on a full Saturday, for collection and delivery separately.

  • Regulars, remembered

    Saved addresses, order again in one tap, and points towards a reward.

  • Both ways

    Collection and delivery, with guest checkout

  • On paper

    Dockets print at the pass on ESC/POS printers

  • Paid to you

    Card payments land in your own account

  • Typed in

    We put your menu in, every course and extra

In detail: a restaurant website with online ordering, the live order board and how payments work.

Saturday night

One Saturday service, hour by hour

Your tables as usual, and the orders from your own site on one board and one menu. This is an example evening: the times and orders are for illustration.

  1. Example

    Service starts

    Collection and delivery are on for the evening, with prep times that leave room for the tables.

  2. Example

    Full room, busy pass

    Online orders land with a chime on the tablet at the pass. Accept with one tap and print the docket.

  3. Example

    Tables come first

    Switch delivery off for a while so the room comes first, and mark the sea bass sold out.

  4. Example

    The regulars

    Marcus orders last week's dinner again in one tap and earns points. The card payment goes to your account.

Delivery apps

Keep the listing. Own the regulars.

Delivery apps find you new customers and keep a share of every order. Your own site is for the people who already know your food. You can run both, and move the regulars across a few orders at a time.

  • A line on every docket that points to your own site
  • Your web address on the menu, the receipt and the bag
  • Points and coupons on loyalty rewards for regulars who order direct
Stop paying app commission on your regularsTekeats vs Deliveroo

Questions

Questions restaurant owners ask

Something else on your mind? Book a demo and ask the founder.

Do I need a new till or EPOS system?

No. An Android phone or tablet runs the merchant app and the order board, and dockets print on a standard ESC/POS receipt printer. Keep your till. Tekeats does not connect to other EPOS systems today. If you want a till on the same menu, ask about our own POS on your demo.

Can customers book a table?

No. Tekeats does not take table bookings, so keep the booking system you use today. Tekeats handles the collection and delivery orders on your own site.

Can customers choose a collection time?

Not today. Orders are for now, with a prep time you set for collection and for delivery, so the wait matches the kitchen. Choosing a time slot is not part of Tekeats.

Can I stay on Deliveroo and Just Eat?

Yes. Keep them for the new customers they bring. Tekeats integrates with the delivery partners you already use, so tell us which ones on your demo. How Tekeats compares.

Can I use my own domain and branding?

Yes. Your ordering site carries your colours, your photos and the pages you write. You can run it on your own domain.
