Orders direct, not through a marketplace
Take restaurant orders directly, without a marketplace commission
Online Ordering lets a restaurant take pickup and delivery orders from its own page instead of a marketplace. The restaurant publishes its menu, modifiers and availability windows, customers choose a time slot, payment is collected when the order is placed, and RapidCents reports orders beside in-store sales. For businesses in Canada, confirm delivery options, currency and settlement on your account.

Questions about Online Ordering
Is this a marketplace?
No. Orders come through your own page, so there is no marketplace commission on the sale.
Can I offer pickup only?
Yes. Pickup, delivery or both can be enabled with time slots.
When is payment taken?
At the time the order is placed, before preparation begins.
Do online orders show in my reporting?
Yes, alongside in-store sales in the same dashboard.
Do I need a website before I can take online orders?
No. The menu is published as your own ordering page and the payment runs on RapidCents hosted checkout, so a full storefront build is not a prerequisite. Share the page as a link or a QR code.
How does an order actually reach the kitchen?
Orders route to where the kitchen can act on them rather than sitting in an inbox somebody has to watch. With Restaurant POS in the same account, online orders and dine-in service report together at day end.
Can I control what is orderable and when?
Yes. You publish the items, modifiers and availability windows, and you offer pickup, delivery or both with time slots, so customers cannot order a dish the kitchen is not making at that hour.
What does it cost compared with a marketplace?
A marketplace takes a commission on each order; ordering from your own page does not. What remains is card processing on the payment, priced interchange-plus: interchange and card network fees at cost, plus your RapidCents markup, stated in your Fee Schedule, and fees for equipment or services, if applicable.
