WHAT IT COSTS
You are buying the system, not a seat in somebody else's.
One build, on accounts in your name, with 0% commission on your own orders. This page is every figure: what the build costs, what it costs to keep running, the payment plan, and what three years of renting the same thing costs instead.
WHAT THIS IS FOR
One restaurant taking its own pickup orders, or one shop taking its own bookings.
$5,000
once
- The build, designed for your business, on your own domain
- Your hosting account, your database and your domain, all in your name
- 0% commission on every order and booking you take
- A 30-minute launch call and a 30-day check-in
- Six months of support: anything that breaks in what we shipped, fixed at no charge
- Nothing that renews, and no charge from us after handoff
Hosting and your database sit on free accounts in your name, and stay free at a single restaurant's volume. Your only bill is your domain, about $15 a year, and none of it comes to us.
THE RECEIPT
Every line of the build, and the total at the bottom.
OUTRIGHTOS / BOOKING BUILD
INCLUDED
YOUR ACCOUNTS
You own the running app on your own accounts: your hosting, your database, your domain, with every booking and client record in accounts under your name. Changes to the system come from us, hourly, quoted up front. Your data, your domain and your admin need nobody.
Pay in full: $5,000, 50% to start and the balance at launch. Spread it over a year: 12 x $459 by credit card, $5,508 total. The extra $508 is the cost of not paying it at once. After month 12 you are done either way.

Five years from now you pay us $0. Your only bill is your domain, about $15 a year.12
Rows we would lose aren't hidden: reminders by email or text, memberships, gift certificates and tying a service to one staff member are not in this build. Confirmation emails, card payments and deposits are, wired to your own accounts at handoff.345

PAYBACK
At $150 a month all-in, month 34 is where renting has cost more than owning.
A subscription platform bills for as long as you are open, so the month it passes what the build costs depends on one figure: what you pay a month today, all-in. Four of them are below.
OVER 3 YEARS
OVER 5 YEARS
MONTH YOU PASS $5,000
| A month, all-in | Over 3 years | Over 5 years | Month you pass the build price |
|---|---|---|---|
| $70 | $2,520 | $4,200 | Month 72 (year 6) |
| $100 | $3,600 | $6,000 | Month 50 |
| $150 | $5,400 | $9,000 | Month 34 |
| $200 | $7,200 | $12,000 | Month 25 |
A cost comparison, not a savings claim: what you stop paying, and when. At $70 a month, renting is cheaper and we'll say so.
FAQ
The questions that come after the number.
All questionsWhat does it cost?
$5,000, one time. There's no charge from us after that. If the upfront number is the blocker, there's a 12-month payment plan: $459 a month by credit card, $5,508 total, then you're done. The extra $508 is the cost of not paying it at once. It's a payment plan, not a subscription.
Is there a deposit?
The demo costs you nothing. If you say yes, it's $2,500 to start the live build on your own accounts and the balance at launch. On the payment plan, the 12 payments replace the split.
What do I pay after handoff?
Your domain, about $15 a year, to your registrar. That's it. Hosting and your database sit on free accounts in your name and stay free at your volume. Nothing comes to us.
Do you take a percentage of my orders or bookings?
No. 0%. We don't take a percentage of anything, on any order or booking.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
We build yours first. You see it running, then you decide.
We build it, you look at it, and if you do not want it we take it down. Nothing owed.
