01 · Who it's for

Right fit

Restaurants that rely on delivery apps for discovery but lose 15–30% on every order — including the regulars who would have ordered direct if there were an easy way.

02 · The problem

What goes wrong

Marketplace apps are great at finding you new customers and expensive at keeping them: every repeat order from a regular pays the same commission as a first-time discovery. The fix isn't leaving the marketplace — it's giving regulars a direct path that you own.

·How it works

Say it. Done.

01

What Kitch is (and isn't)

Kitch is not a delivery marketplace and doesn't provide drivers. It's your own live restaurant page with commission-free pickup ordering built in — the direct channel that marketplaces don't give you.

DoorDash and similar marketplaces offer reach and delivery logistics; for many restaurants they stay worth it for discovery. The honest play is both: marketplace for new guests, direct for the regulars you already won.

02

The math on repeat orders

A regular who orders weekly through an app pays the commission 52 times a year. Moving even part of that direct — via the QR on the counter, the link in your bio, the card in the bag — recovers real margin without touching your marketplace listing.

Kitch's order page lives on the same live page as your menu and hours, so 'order direct' is one tap from everywhere guests already find you.

03

Own the whole loop

Direct orders are paid to your own Stripe — you keep the full ticket minus standard card fees. Orders alert your team in the dashboard, with a receipt for the guest.

Your menu, availability, and promos stay true in one place, so the direct channel never advertises what the kitchen can't serve.

04

Free to start

Kitch Starter is free for one location — live page, QR menu, hours, promos. Turn on direct ordering with Commerce when you're ready to move regulars off the apps.

No card to start, and your page stays the same when you upgrade.

Is Kitch a DoorDash alternative?+

For pickup and direct orders, yes: commission-free ordering on your own page, paid to your Stripe. Kitch doesn't provide delivery drivers — most restaurants keep their marketplace listing for delivery and discovery, and use Kitch to take repeat orders direct.

Does Kitch charge commission on orders?+

No. Direct orders are paid to your own Stripe with no per-order commission from Kitch — you keep the full ticket minus standard card-processing fees.

Do I have to leave DoorDash to use Kitch?+

No. Kitch shows your marketplace links alongside the direct option, so guests choose. Many restaurants run both: marketplace for discovery, direct for regulars.

Is it really free to start?+

Yes. Starter is free for one location with no card required; direct ordering comes with the Commerce plan.
