Independent restaurants should own their online orders, not rent them from aggregators
MenuDock gives UK restaurants and cafes a branded storefront on their own domain, with payments going straight to their Stripe account, so every order builds their business, not someone else’s.
Built because aggregator commissions don’t add up
Independent restaurants and cafes were paying 20-30% of every online order to marketplaces, on margins that often weren’t much higher to begin with. The customer relationship, the data, and the branding all sat with the platform, not the restaurant.
MenuDock started as the alternative: a branded storefront that runs on the restaurant’s own domain, with Stripe payouts going directly to their account. Orders appear on a tablet in real time, and the menu, theme, and customer experience stay completely theirs.
We focus on UK restaurants and cafes because that is the market we know: VAT, postcode-based delivery, Stripe Connect, and the everyday realities of running a small kitchen.
