Who it's for
- Single-unit owners
- One page that holds menu, hours, promo, contact, and QR. Update by message. Skip the CMS, the PDF, and the staff group chat.
- Multi-unit operators
- Push the same change to one store, some stores, or all of them. Hours, prices, and sell-outs stay in line everywhere.
- Small groups & emerging brands
- Brand templates and approvals so HQ stays consistent. Locations act fast where it makes sense.

Economics
- 01Kitch Free is $0 for one location. Starter is $49/mo. Operator is $149/mo per location. Kitch Orders is $299/mo per location. Control is custom-priced for groups.
- 02Each plan includes a monthly Ticket allowance — 10 on Free, 25 on Starter, 50 on Operator, 150 on Kitch Orders, pooled on Control. Additional Tickets available as upgrades.
- 03No take-rate on guest visits, no per-update fees, no upsell ladder. The price is the price.
- 04Direct orders are paid straight to your Stripe: the free tier keeps 85% (a 15% take-rate), every paid plan keeps 100%.
- 05When loyalty arrives, pricing will be published in advance — flat or usage-based, never a surprise.
· Note 06
Fairness
- 01You own the page. Your domain, your brand, your guest relationships.
- 02No marketplace ranking, no pay-to-rank. Kitch isn't a directory.
- 03No guest reviews on the page unless you turn them on, and you control how they appear.
- 04Operators decide what changes, when, and what gets rolled back.
- 05If we ever add discovery, it will be fair by default and disclosed up front.
· Note 07
Data & ownership
- 01Every restaurant's data is isolated per tenant, enforced in code on every request.
- 02You own your data and your brand experience. Guest data is never sold.
- 03Role-based access, change history, and export on request.
· Note 08
Onboarding
- 01Tell Kitch your restaurant's name. It builds your live page — menu, hours, design — in about a minute.
- 02Make it yours by message: "add the Margherita for $14", "make my page warmer", "open till 10 on Fridays".
- 03Add your team — owner, manager, staff. Every change carries a name and a timestamp.
- 04Share your kitch link or point your own domain. Free to start, no card.

The questions, plainly
- How is Kitch different from a website builder?
- A website builder ships a page you change once a season. Kitch ships a page that changes by the sentence — menu, hours, promos, sell-outs — and keeps a record of every change.
- Do I need a POS or a delivery integration?
- No. The page works on its own. Integrations are coming and stay optional.
- Who actually updates the page?
- You do — type the change in plain words in the command center and Kitch makes it live in seconds. Prefer hands-off? Our team can make changes for you too.
- What does the free plan include?
- Kitch Free includes a live page, QR menu, basic Command, direct ordering, and 10 Tickets per month. Starter ($49/mo) adds 25 Tickets, your own domain, promo campaigns, and drops the order take-rate to 0% — every paid plan keeps 100%. Operator ($149/mo) adds 50 Tickets, social, and review replies. Kitch Orders ($299/mo) adds 150 Tickets, the counter register, kitchen flow, and analytics. Additional Tickets are available as upgrades on any paid plan.
- Is there a take-rate on orders?
- Direct ordering is included on every plan, paid straight to your own Stripe. The free tier carries a 15% take-rate (you keep 85%); every paid plan keeps 100%. No aggregator, no per-ticket cut beyond that.
- Can I cancel?
- Any time. The page goes dark at the end of the month. If something's off in the first 30 days, we refund the first month. Full stop.
- Multiple locations?
- Operator is $149/mo per location. Kitch Orders is $299/mo per location. For groups that need pooled Tickets and centralised billing, Control is custom-priced — reach out.
- Can my team make changes too?
- Yes. Owner, manager, and staff roles. Every change carries a name and a timestamp. Roll back any of it in one tap.
- What about guest reviews and discovery?
- Reviews are off by default. Kitch is your page, not a directory. We don't rank you against anyone.
- Who owns the data and the brand?
- You do. Your domain, your menu, your guest data. Data is isolated per restaurant and never sold.
- How long until something is live?
- Your page is live the moment you finish onboarding — about a minute after you tell Kitch your restaurant's name. Every change after that goes live in seconds.
