Toast alternative
A Toast alternative for ordering and the back office
Kitchra isn't a cash register — it's the commission-free ordering site and back-of-house platform that runs alongside whatever POS you use, including Toast. No new hardware, no long contract, no per-order commission: one flat monthly price for your site, your kitchen screens and your numbers.
The ordering + operations layer, not a new till
Toast is a full point-of-sale with hardware and payment processing. Kitchra is different: it's your own branded ordering site plus the kitchen, stock, staff and finance tools — and it runs alongside your existing register. Keep taking payments the way you do today; add commission-free online ordering and the back office on top.
Flat monthly, no hardware, no lock-in
No terminals to buy, no multi-year contract, and 0% commission on your online orders — one flat monthly price. Guests order ahead and pay you directly at pickup or delivery, so there's no per-order processing fee on those orders either. It's a predictable line on your P&L, not a percentage of every sale.
Screens that run service
Online orders land on a kitchen display the moment a guest checks out. Advance them item by item, watch what's slowing down, count prep by fridge, and put the menu on a TV board — the same kitchen tooling a big POS charges extra for, included in one plan.
Stock, staff and money in the same place
Inventory and cost, guided counts and variance, the staff rota and time clock, tips, supplier invoices and your real P&L — the back of house that usually needs three more subscriptions, in one login with your ordering and kitchen.
