Why your restaurant needs its own ordering app

Same Day Restaurant App mark on a dark blue card

A delivery app puts your restaurant in a list with other restaurants. The guest opens that company's app, not yours. Your menu sits beside everyone else they deliver for.

Your own app is the other way around. The guest downloads your app. The icon is yours. The menu is yours. The order goes to you.

Same Day Restaurant App is that app for iPhone and Android. It is a native app with your brand. It is the app only. A website is not included.

What the guest can do

  • Order ahead for pickup.
  • Collect loyalty points you set, such as points per dollar toward a free item.
  • See order status.
  • Find a food truck or trailer on a map, and pre-order for that stop.

You change the menu, the hours, and events in one dashboard. The app updates.

Who it is for

The app is built for restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops, bakeries, breweries, wineries, and caterers. A franchise can put every location in one app. Each location can connect its own Square account and see its own orders.

What you pay

The monthly plan is $129 a month for the first location, on sale from $249 a month. It is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime. The monthly plan has no trial.

The monthly plan has a one-time setup fee of $500. The yearly plan waives that setup fee.

The yearly plan is $104.99 a month for the first location, paid once a year at $1,259.88. It includes a 2-week trial. You add a card up front. The card is not charged during the trial. The trial covers the whole yearly order, including extra locations.

Each extra location is $60 a month. On the yearly plan, each extra location is $720 a year.

The plan is a branded iPhone app and Android app. A website is not included.

Guests pay you through your own Square account. That money is separate from the plan you pay us.

How you get the app

You fill in your business info and get an instant demo. Nothing goes to the app stores until you approve it. Apple and Google review every new app. That review can take up to a week before the app is live in the stores.

When you are ready, see pricing or start your app.
