Choose Store if…
You want a polished ordering website, pickup and local delivery, and you’re fine with a 3.5% card fee. First month is $19.99; it renews at $50.
Two plans. Your money goes to you.
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.
Both plans include your own food website — a private draft right after you sign up — and the owner dashboard to run it from your phone. Plus adds tools to sell more and a lower fee on every card order.
First-month special: $19.99 on either plan through December 31, 2026. No code needed. Then Store renews at $50/month or Plus at $100/month. Domain extras are separate; see below. Subscription months follow your monthly billing date.
Choose Plus if…
You want the lower 2% card fee, promo codes, and faster polish. First month is also $19.99; it renews at $100 — that’s the real difference after month one.

What a $25 card order costs
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.
