About us.

Our mission

StartMyOwn.Restaurant exists because the food is yours, the customers should be yours, and the money should be too. Delivery marketplaces got between kitchens and their diners and took a cut of everything. We build the tools that put the relationship — and the margin — back where it belongs.

What we build

When you sign up, you get everything you need to take orders on your own terms:

• Your own ordering page — at yourname.startmyown.restaurant or your own domain, with a menu customers can tap through.
• A text-to-order number — an AI assistant reads your live menu, builds the cart, and sends a pay link, so no order gets missed at the dinner rush.
• Order-ahead, dine-in, and delivery — pickup and QR table ordering built in, with delivery through Uber Direct when you want it.
• Payments straight to your bank — card and Apple Pay through Stripe, with the kitchen tablet, scanner, and printer for busier storefronts.

Who it's for

We built this for the people behind the pass — the home cook selling plates on the weekend, the ghost kitchen running two virtual brands out of one hood, and the neighborhood restaurant tired of paying the apps to talk to their own regulars.

How we make money

You pay a simple monthly subscription — from $9 on Cook — plus a low per-order rate that drops as you grow (5% on Cook, 3% on Kitchen, around 1% on Restaurant). No setup fees, no hidden charges, and your payouts go straight to your own bank.
