Direct ordering for restaurants
Marketplace apps can take up to 30% of every order. Arrowfayre gives your restaurant its own ordering page with one small, transparent fee — a flat $1.50 an order, plus card processing (2.9% + 30¢), and never a hidden markup.
A typical marketplace app
Arrowfayre
Illustrative example: $50 of food with 13% HST, so the customer pays $56.50 either way, and “You keep” includes the $6.50 of tax, which you remit. Delivery, when used, is charged at the courier's price quoted at checkout — never marked up.

Illustrative — typical marketplace commissions of 20–30% of food sales, versus Arrowfayre's $1.50 an order plus card processing of 2.9% + 30¢ on what the customer pays, worked out as in the example above: your food sales plus 13% HST, in orders of your average size. “You keep” is your food sales less fees, before the tax you collect and remit. Delivery costs aren't included on either side, since they're billed separately either way.
01 — Set up
Import your menu
Pull your menu straight from your existing website, or add it by hand. Ready in minutes, not days.
02 — Share
Get your own order page
A real link for your restaurant — drop it into your Google Business listing or your own website's "Order Now" button.
03 — Get paid
Customers order directly
A flat $1.50 per order, no commission that grows with your sales. Card processing is passed through at cost.
Set up your restaurant in about 6 minutes, from sign-up to your first order.
Not a stripped-down ordering form — a real platform built around a full shift, not just a demo.
Mark a dish sold out in one tap
Run out mid-shift? Toggle it off from the same screen you're already using for orders — it disappears from the storefront instantly.
Scheduled orders
Customers can order ahead for later today — automatically limited to your real open hours.
Delivery subsidy, on your terms
Choose to cover part of the delivery fee to stay competitive — capped so it never costs more than you're comfortable with.
Reward direct customers
Offer a free item on qualifying orders — a real incentive to order direct instead of through a third-party app.
Customers can always find their order
No account required — guests can look up an order by email, and cancel within a short window if plans change.
Real evidence when delivery goes wrong
Customers can report a delivery issue with photos, sent straight to you — not lost in a third-party app's support queue.
The easiest way to grow
Print a QR card. Put it in every bag.
Every takeout order that still comes through a third-party app is a customer who doesn't know they could've ordered direct. Drop a printed card into every bag — it's a five-second habit that turns your busiest channel into your best source of new, direct customers.
Your customers' data stays out of the marketplace machine
We never sell your customers' emails or share them for anyone else's marketing, and restaurant staff never see them. Promotions are sent through Arrowfayre, only to customers who opted in.
No locked-in hardware
Runs in any browser, on any tablet, phone, or computer your kitchen already has. Nothing to replace if you ever move on.
Real delivery pricing
Delivery is charged at the courier's price quoted at checkout, not a markup dressed up as a fee. You choose if and how much to subsidize it — nothing hidden by default.
Built by someone who grew up in a restaurant
Arrowfayre started as a way to help one family restaurant keep more of every order. It's built around what actually matters during service, not what looks good in a demo.
