Franchise ordering platform

Own your ordering channel.

A white-label online ordering, kitchen and delivery platform built for South African restaurant franchises — your brand, your customers, your data, on your own domain.

The aggregator problem

Selling online through aggregators carries three hidden costs

It works — but every order routed through a third party quietly costs the franchise in three ways that compound across a chain.

Margin

Aggregators charge 15–30% commission per order — often the difference between a delivery that makes money and one that just breaks even.

Brand

The moment a customer clicks “order online”, they leave your domain for a vendor's site. Different stores can even land on different apps.

Customer data

Order history and contact details accumulate inside the vendor's system, not yours. Under POPIA, that's your responsibility either way.

The structural difference

One owned platform in place of a chain of hand-offs

Multiple vendors, a different app per store — your brand and customer data leave your control.

Indicative economics

The platform fee is a fraction of the commission it saves

Per store, per monthAmount
Own-channel online sales (conservative assumption)R50,000
Aggregator commission avoided @ ~22%+ R11,000
Typical platform fee + payment processing (Ozow ~1.5–2%)− R2,500 to R4,000

Illustrative only; assumes a modest R50k/month moving through the owned channel at a 22% blended commission. Busy stores doing multiples of this volume recover proportionally more. A full rate card is shared on request.

Founding-client terms

Prove it on a few stores first

We start with a pilot — a small group of stores, one go-live date — rather than a chain-wide commitment. Founding clients get discounted setup, a per-store rate that steps down as more stores come online, terms locked for 24 months, and a direct line to the engineer who built it.

From R25,000 setup plus a per-store monthly fee. Full rate card on request.

Franchise FAQs

What franchise owners ask

How does a pilot work?

We start small — a handful of stores and one go-live date — rather than a chain-wide commitment. You prove the numbers on a few stores first, on founding-client terms, then roll out at your own pace.

How long does it take to onboard a store?

Once your brand, menu and delivery zones are set up, additional stores come online quickly — most of the work is the first store; the rest reuse the same central setup.

Does it work with our existing POS or systems?

The platform runs your ordering channel end-to-end, and we can scope integrations to POS, accounting or messaging systems you already use. Tell us your stack and we’ll map it during scoping.

Who owns the customer data?

You do. Orders and customer details sit in one database that you control, with POPIA export and erasure built in — not scattered across aggregator systems you can’t see.

What does it cost?

Setup starts from R25,000 plus a per-store monthly fee, with founding-client discounts. That fee is typically a fraction of the aggregator commission it saves. Full rate card on request.
