Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom restaurant app cost?
Our Launchpad package starts at $10,000 for a single-platform MVP with core ordering features. The Growth Engine ($25,000-$50,000) includes both iOS and Android, loyalty programs, reservation systems, and advanced analytics. Most restaurant projects fall in the $25K-$40K range with a 6-10 week timeline.
Can you integrate with our existing POS system?
Yes. We integrate with major restaurant POS systems including Toast, Square, Clover, and Micros via REST APIs. We'll review your current setup during discovery and design the optimal integration approach.
What about third-party delivery integration (Uber Eats, DoorDash)?
We can build unified order management that aggregates orders from your app and third-party platforms into one dashboard, or focus exclusively on direct ordering to maximize your margins. Many of our restaurant clients see 3-5x higher margins with direct ordering.
How long does development take?

What ongoing support is included?
All projects include 60 days of post-launch support with bug fixes and minor adjustments. We also offer maintenance plans starting at $500/month for updates, feature enhancements, and priority support. 85% of our restaurant clients continue working with us after launch.
