# Storekit for independents

> Give one restaurant the ordering machinery the chains have: branded storefront, eight channels, your own customer list. Free to start, live the same day.

Canonical: https://storekit.com/solutions/independent-restaurants

**Punch at the chains' weight** The chains have branded apps, loyalty schemes, and someone whose whole job is digital. You have a service to run. Storekit gives a single location the same ordering machinery - live the same day, free to start, and nobody takes a cut of the basket.

## What you are solving

- **Stop renting your regulars** - Marketplace customers belong to the marketplace. Every direct order builds a guest record you own - contactable, exportable, and still yours if you ever leave.
- **Look like you, everywhere** - Your storefront runs on your domain with your type, colours, and photography. The guest never feels like they left your brand between the menu and the payment.
- **Survive your own Friday night** - Slot capacity limits, honest lead times, and pause-a-channel controls keep the kitchen from taking more than it can plate - automatically, while you run the pass.
- **One system, not five logins** - Takeaway, delivery, collection, QR at the table, and pay-at-table off one menu and one dashboard. Change a price once.

## Questions

### How much does Storekit cost for a single restaurant?

Starter is free, plus a flat per-order rate and no commission on the basket. No contract, and nothing to set up. Grow adds catering and the wider integrations for £99 a month; Pro adds in-venue ordering for £199 a month.

### How quickly can one restaurant go live?

Most single locations take a live order the same day. The menu is the slow part; if it exists in a spreadsheet or on another platform, it imports.

### Do I need a website already?

No. The Storekit storefront is a complete branded ordering site on your own domain. If you already have a website, the storefront links or embeds into it.
