In today's competitive restaurant and café landscape, brands are juggling more than just perfecting their recipes. From operations and HR to finance and real estate, high-performing brands have complex ecosystems to manage. But there's one area that can make or break customer loyalty—the digital ordering experience.

Customers now expect seamless, fast, and intuitive ordering, whether they're on a mobile app, browsing a website, or using a self-service kiosk. The challenge? Building and maintaining a cohesive, first-party ordering system that integrates directly with your POS—without draining resources or paying out hefty commission fees to third-party platforms.

That's where Orda steps in.

The Commission Conundrum

Let's talk dollars and cents.

Third-party ordering platforms take a significant bite out of your profits—often charging commission fees as high as 30% per order. For brands managing multiple locations or high order volumes, these fees quickly escalate, slashing already tight margins.

Building a first-party ordering system not only cuts out commission fees but also gives you full control over the customer experience and valuable data insights. But here's the catch: developing a fully integrated, user-friendly ordering platform is no small feat. It requires specialized tech expertise, a deep understanding of POS systems like Square, and the ability to scale solutions across mobile, web, and in-store kiosks.

The Real Challenge for High-Performing Brands

For fast-growing and established brands, technology often becomes a bottleneck. While they excel at operations, HR, finance, and real estate, they may lack the dedicated tech resources to create and maintain the kind of digital ordering experience customers now expect.

You need more than just an off-the-shelf app—you need a technology partner who understands your unique needs and can build a tailored solution that integrates perfectly with your existing systems.

That's where Orda shines.

Orda provides a branded mobile app directly connected to your Square POS, allowing you to create your own first-party ordering platform—all without commission fees. But it's more than just an app. Orda is a complete ecosystem for digital ordering that includes:

• 📱 Mobile App Ordering – Fully branded, intuitive apps for iOS and Android that give your customers a seamless ordering experience.
• 💻 Web Ordering – A web-based ordering platform that matches your brand's aesthetic and flows perfectly with your in-app experience.
• 🏬 Kiosk Ordering – Self-service in-store kiosks linked directly to your Square POS for faster, more efficient in-store ordering.

The best part? Everything is connected. Orders flow directly into your Square POS, so there's no need for manual entry or juggling multiple systems.

Customization Without Limits

Every brand is unique—and sometimes, out-of-the-box solutions just don't cut it.

Orda isn't a "one-size-fits-all" platform. Our team works directly with you to build custom features and integrations that align with your specific business needs.

Examples of Custom Solutions We've Built:

• 🔄 Third-Party System Integrations: Loyalty programs, CRMs, or niche payment gateways.

• 🎨 Custom In-App Screens: Highlight promotions, create unique user flows, or add new product categories.

Our developers act as an extension of your team, handling the design, implementation, and deployment of custom features—so you don't have to worry about hiring your own developers, testers, or integrators.

Case in Point: Real-World Customization

Let's say you're running a fast-growing café chain and want to offer subscription coffee plans inside your app—something not natively supported by Square. With Orda, our developers can build that functionality right into your existing mobile app and web ordering system.

Or maybe you want your in-store kiosks to run a seasonal promotion that auto-applies discounts at checkout. We'll code it, test it, and deploy it—no in-house developers needed.

With Orda, there's no "that's not possible." If you can dream it, we can build it.
