For home cooks, pop-ups, trucks & caterers
We build and polish your online ordering website.
You see a private draft right after you sign up. We polish it, you share the link, and customers order pickup or local delivery. You keep the customer — and there is no DoorDash cut.

- Card payments to you
- Sold-out control

A cook’s own domain is $20 setup plus $25 a year on either plan (.com, .net, .org, or .us). Stripe’s card-processing fee is separate. Pay-at-pickup has no KitchenCheckout fee. Cancel anytime online.

On a $25 card order, KitchenCheckout’s platform fee is $0.88 on Store (3.5%) or $0.50 on Plus (2%). Stripe’s published domestic online card rate as of October 7, 2026 is 2.9% + 30¢, about $1.03 on that charge, and Stripe bills it. This example assumes Stripe’s fee is on the full $25 and the KitchenCheckout percent is an additional application fee. It is not an all-in price. Pay-at-pickup has no KitchenCheckout fee. A 15–30% share of the same $25 plate is $3.75–$7.50. That range is this site’s comparison band, not a quote from a delivery company.
Who it's for
You already have people who want your food. This gives them a real place to order and pay.
Marketplace cooks
You already get “PLATE” in the comments. Send one link instead of typing out 40 orders.
Home kitchens
Set your hours, cap how many you make, and it stops taking orders when you sell out.
Pop-ups
Weekend-only, new spot every week, preorders that don’t live in your DMs.
Food trucks
Post where you’re parked today. People order ahead so the window line moves.
Catering
Headcount, event date, and the address — all in one order instead of a text thread.
Run day-to-day orders from your phone
Every store comes with an owner dashboard. These are real screens from a demo kitchen — open it yourself and tap around.

How it works
1. Tell us about your food
Five quick questions — what you sell, pickup or delivery, your hours. First month $19.99 on Store or Plus through December 31, 2026, then Store is $50 a month with a 3.5% platform fee on card orders. Plus is $100 a month with a 2% platform fee on card orders. A cook’s own domain is $20 setup plus $25 a year on either plan (.com, .net, .org, or .us). Stripe’s card-processing fee is separate. Pay-at-pickup has no KitchenCheckout fee. Cancel anytime online.
2. Your draft is ready
We apply the look you picked, your name, and the menu you pasted. Fix photos and dishes on your phone. Nothing is public yet.
3. Share your link
Go live yourself, or we polish it within 3 business days. Post the link. Customers order and pay.
Draft right after you pay. We polish Store in 3 business days, Plus in 1–2 — or you launch yourself.

Food money goes to your Stripe. KitchenCheckout takes 3.5% on Store and 2% on Plus. Stripe's processing fee is separate. Full pricing
“But…”
- “I already get orders in my DMs.”
- That’s exactly who this is for. Send them your link — they order, pay up front, and you have their name and number for next time.
- “I don’t want another monthly bill.”
- Pause up to 2 months a year. Cancel anytime online at kitchencheckout.com/app/cancel. Cancellation stops future charges. The store stays up through the month already paid. A full refund of the first payment is available within 7 days only before building starts. Building has started if a staff member claimed the job or if an auto-built store draft was created from the signup answers. After the preview is delivered, that month is not refundable.
- “I’m not good with computers.”
- You don’t have to be. The draft is already yours. You tap buttons on your phone. If you can post on Facebook, you can run this.
Ready for your own store?
Five quick questions. Send your menu and photos after — a picture of a paper menu works.

Questions
- Do I need to know anything about websites?
- No. You see a draft of your store right after you sign up. After that, running it is tapping buttons on your phone — about as hard as posting on Facebook. Stuck? Text or email us.
- Who gets the food money?
- You do. Card payments go straight into your own Stripe account. On a $25 card order, KitchenCheckout’s platform fee is $0.88 on Store (3.5%) or $0.50 on Plus (2%). Stripe’s published domestic online card rate as of October 7, 2026 is 2.9% + 30¢, about $1.03 on that charge, and Stripe bills it. This example assumes Stripe’s fee is on the full $25 and the KitchenCheckout percent is an additional application fee. It is not an all-in price. Pay-at-pickup has no KitchenCheckout fee. A 15–30% share of the same $25 plate is $3.75–$7.50. That range is this site’s comparison band, not a quote from a delivery company.
- Who handles refunds and chargebacks?
- You do, right inside your own Stripe account — it’s your business and your customers. Stripe walks you through any dispute. KitchenCheckout never holds your food money.
- How fast is it ready?
- You see a private draft right after signup. We polish it within 3 business days on Store, 1–2 on Plus. You can also go live yourself once your menu, look, and payouts are ready.
- Do I need a licensed kitchen?
- Rules vary by state and city. You are responsible for permits, labelling, allergen disclosure, and sales-tax obligations where you sell. KitchenCheckout does not issue permits. Read the notes at https://kitchencheckout.com/guides/cottage-food and check your state agency.
- Who delivers?
- You do, or the customer picks up. We’re not DoorDash. You set your own delivery fee and area.
- Can I cancel?
- Cancel anytime online at kitchencheckout.com/app/cancel. Cancellation stops future charges. The store stays up through the month already paid. A full refund of the first payment is available within 7 days only before building starts. Building has started if a staff member claimed the job or if an auto-built store draft was created from the signup answers. After the preview is delivered, that month is not refundable.
- Can it be in Spanish?
- Sí. Your store can be English and Spanish — check the box when you sign up. Tap “ES” at the top for this page en español.
- Is there an app?
- The native apps are not in the app stores yet. Today, your store and owner dashboard work in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download required.
- Who owns KitchenCheckout?
- KitchenCheckout is a JustBuildNGo product. JustBuildNGo is a Grant Corporation web agency.
