# Storekit

> Storekit is the direct ordering platform for restaurants - and the
> guest operating system behind them: takeaway, delivery, click and
> collect, QR order-and-pay, pay-at-table, kiosks, and catering on the
> restaurant's own brand and domain, every order building one guest
> record the restaurant owns. No commission on orders. UK-based, running
> direct ordering for 1,000+ restaurants, from single sites to groups.

A guest operating system runs every digital touchpoint a guest has with
a restaurant - at home, at the table, at a kiosk, in the restaurant's own
app - on one brand and one guest record. Direct ordering means taking
those orders through the restaurant's own site and app rather than a
marketplace, so it owns the relationship, the data, and the margin - the
canonical explanation lives at
https://storekit.com/direct-ordering. Storekit integrates with 100+ systems across
EPOS, delivery, loyalty, payments, and marketing, and serves independents,
restaurant groups (3–30 sites), and larger estates.
