Comparison
One page you own, or a stack you rent.
The usual restaurant setup is a website builder, a delivery app, a link tool, and a PDF menu — four tools, four logins, and a cut of every order. Here’s how Kitch compares.
Side by side
The same jobs, two very different bills.
What it is
The usual stack
A website builder, a delivery app, a link-in-bio tool, and a PDF menu — four tools, four logins.
Kitch
One live page for menu, hours, promos, QR, ordering, reputation, and social.
Updating the menu
The usual stack
Re-export a PDF or wait on a CMS login; the delivery app menu drifts out of sync.
Kitch
Say what changed in plain language. It’s live behind the same link instantly.
Online ordering
The usual stack
The aggregator takes a double-digit cut of every ticket and keeps the guest.
Kitch
Direct orders paid to your own Stripe — 0% take-rate on paid plans, the guest stays yours.
Who owns the guest
The usual stack
The platform. The contact, the data, and the repeat order route through them.
Kitch
You do. Orders, reviews, and traffic land on a page you control.
The QR code
The usual stack
Points at a PDF or a page nobody updates; reprint when anything changes.
Kitch
Permanent QR over a live page — reprint nothing, ever.
Reviews
The usual stack
Checked in a separate dashboard, replied to late or never.
Kitch
One inbox, connect Google, reply with an AI draft you approve.
Social
The usual stack
A blank caption box and a feed that goes dark during service.
Kitch
AI captions in your voice, scheduled to Instagram and Facebook (TikTok soon).
Monthly cost
The usual stack
Several subscriptions plus a per-order commission that scales with success.
Kitch
Kitch Free is $0; paid plans start at $49 (Starter) and Operator is $149 CAD/mo/loc. Direct ordering is included on every plan — the free tier carries a 15% take-rate (you keep 85%); every paid plan keeps 100%.
The math
A take-rate is a tax on your best nights.
A double-digit cut of every order grows exactly as you get busier. A flat monthly plan doesn’t — and the guest stays yours either way.
FAQ
Plain answers.
Does Kitch replace my website and my delivery app?+
For most restaurants, yes. Kitch is one live page for your menu, hours, promos, QR, direct ordering, reputation, and social. You can keep an aggregator for reach, but direct orders on Kitch keep the guest relationship yours — and avoid the aggregator's double-digit cut (paid plans take 0%, the free tier 15%).
Is Kitch cheaper than a website builder plus a delivery app?+
Kitch Free is $0; paid plans start at $49 (Starter) and Operator is $149 CAD/mo/loc. Direct ordering is included on every plan — the free tier carries a 15% take-rate (you keep 85%); every paid plan keeps 100%. A website builder plus a delivery app usually means several subscriptions and a double-digit cut of every order, which grows as you sell more.
Can I keep my existing website?+
Yes. Kitch can be your whole site or the live, current-information page behind your existing one — the URL your QR code, Google listing, and Instagram bio point to.
Do I pay Kitch a percentage of orders?+
On any paid plan, no — Kitch takes 0% of your direct orders. They're paid to your own connected Stripe account (standard Stripe processing fees apply). The free tier carries a 15% take-rate; upgrade to any paid plan to keep 100%.
