A café, a kitchen, a bar, a van — people walk past your window and know exactly what you are. Your site should do the same job: your name above the door, your food, your story. Put it behind a QR and stop there, or switch on ordering and run the whole counter — till, kitchen screen, table service. £49/month, flat. No commission, and the customer list stays yours.

Six real storefronts, not a colour picker over one template — including a food van that trades somewhere new most days. However different they look, the ordering underneath is identical. And yours needn't be any of them: describe your place and the AI draws you a design of its own — your colours, your type, your layout — then changes whatever you ask. Pick one to see it.

Cafés, takeaways, bakeries, delis, dessert shops, food trucks, bars, pubs, pop-ups, sit-down restaurants. Fixed counter, tables to fill, or a different pitch every day — it's built around how you actually work.
Takeaway, café, bakery, deli, dessert shop. A proper site for the place people already walk into: menu, hours, address, and a QR on the wall so walk-ins order from their seat. Card, cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Or no ordering at all, if you'd rather just show the menu.
Restaurants, pubs, wine bars. Draw your floor plan, put a QR on each table — guests scan to read the menu, and order and pay from their seat if you want them to. No waiting to catch someone's eye, no third-party cut. Table service is in the price, not an add-on.
Food trucks, vans, market stalls, pop-ups, residencies. Tell us your week — Tuesday lunch at the business park, Saturday at the farmers' market — and customers see where you are and order ahead. No more queues at the hatch when you're slammed.
Get found locally
New developments fill up fast, and plenty of residents never discover the independent café two buildings away. Tokeat lists you on a marketplace of the independents around them, so the people living closest to you can find you, order ahead and come and collect. We're also working with local developments to bring Tokeat into their lobbies, on noticeboards and screens.
Your listing goes on when you go live, and you can switch it off any time in Settings. A website on its own waits to be found; this puts you where your neighbours are already looking.
Three ways to run it
Ordering isn't a plan you pay extra for — it's a switch. Plenty of places just want the menu on a phone. Turn ordering on when you're ready, add the till and the kitchen screen when you need them. Same site, same price, and you can switch at any time.
Same £49/month whichever you pick. There's no cheaper menu-only tier and there are no paid add-ons — you're paying for the same site either way.
The same kit the big platforms charge a percentage for — priced like software instead.
A wall of finished themes, five ways to lay out a menu, and a design studio where every change lands in front of you as you make it. Add your own pages — about, gallery, what’s on. Your own domain. When someone orders, they’re ordering from you, not from a directory.
Your own drivers, your own fee, your own free-delivery threshold, your own radius. Collection-only is fine. Order-ahead is built in — you set the lead time, the slot length, how far ahead people can book.
Draw your floor plan, put a code on each table, and guests order and pay from their seat — straight to the kitchen. Or one code at the counter for walk-ups. Included in the price, not an add-on.
Tickets land on a screen, tick them off item by item, colours tell you what’s running late. Print to a USB thermal printer with the desktop kitchen station — Windows and macOS.
Cash, card readers, quick sales, walk-ins. Same menu, same reports as the online orders. Works whether or not you take orders online.
Percent off, money off, codes, time windows, meal deals. Store credit, gift cards, refund credits, applied automatically at checkout. Cap the total uses, the per-customer uses, the eligible products.
More than convenience
No queue, no one waiting behind them, no rush at the counter — so customers take their time, browse the whole menu, and keep adding. That extra side, the second drink, the dessert they'd skip in person all add up. An online shop isn't just tidier for you; it quietly grows every order.
How much this adds up to depends on your menu and your customers. We'd rather show you a real Tokeat restaurant's numbers than quote somebody else's.
Tell it the cuisine, the neighbourhood and the feel you're after and it drafts a whole design: palette, type, layout. Photograph your printed menu or drop in the PDF and it reads out every dish, description and price into a table you check line by line before a single item is saved. Don't like it? Say what to change in plain English and it redraws — with an undo on every turn.

Illustrative rates, not a quote from anyone — check your own agreement for the rate you are on and what it applies to. We are not a delivery network: no drivers, and our marketplace is local — it shows residents the independents around them, and the customer stays yours. This is the cost of taking an order through your own site, from a customer who chose you. Card processing is charged by Stripe on online payments, on any platform including ours.
No per-order commission. No setup fee. Same bill every month, whatever you sell. There's no cheaper tier for a menu-only site and no paid add-ons — £49/month is the product. Each extra location is £25/month on the same bill.
Same amount every month regardless of order volume. Collection, delivery, table service and the till are all included — and so is running the site as a menu with no ordering at all. Each additional location is £25/month.
Stripe takes their standard ~1.5% + 20p directly on card and wallet orders. We don't mark it up. Cash orders skip it, and a menu-only site has nothing to process at all.
£0 setup, £0 per order. Cancel anytime and keep your data. Your first charge is 14 days after approval.
Anything we missed? Talk to us first.
No. Cancel anytime. Your first 14 days are free — after that we charge £49/month flat, on the same date every month, regardless of how many orders you take.
Yes. Turn ordering off and it’s simply your menu online — photos, prices, allergens, hours, address, contact — on your own domain and behind a QR for the table or the door. No basket, no checkout, and you don’t need a Stripe account at all. You can still ring sales up on the till. Turn ordering on later and nothing has to be rebuilt.
No. Cafés, bakeries, delis, dessert shops, food trucks, bars, pubs, pop-ups and sit-down restaurants all run on the same thing. If you serve food or drink and you’ve got a menu, it fits.
Stripe pays you directly. Money lands in your bank on Stripe’s standard schedule — next-day in the UK after your first payout. If you’re running menu-only, you don’t need Stripe at all.
Only if you want to deliver. Plenty of places on Tokeat are collection-only — and some don’t take orders online at all. If you do deliver, you set the fee and keep all of it.
Yes — pubs and bars too. Turn on table service and put a QR on each table: guests scan to read the menu, and to order and pay from their seat if you want them to. Included in the £49, not an add-on, and you can switch it on any time in Settings.
Mobile food units, yes — set a weekly pitch schedule and customers see the right one. Multiple shops? Each extra location is £25/month on the same bill, switched between from one login. Chains get a landing page with a branch picker, so customers pick the right one.
Orders come through the customer’s phone, not yours. You only need internet on whatever device you use to receive orders — a phone hotspot is fine.
Yes, and you do it yourself. Photograph the printed menu or upload the PDF and the AI reads it into a table — every dish, description and price. You check it line by line and fix anything it got wrong before a single item is saved. Nothing goes live off the back of a guess.
£49/month, flat. No commission, no cut, no customer list held hostage. Ordering on or off — same site, same price.
