GetMenu exists because the software a small kitchen relies on had started charging like a partner while behaving like a landlord.
A delivery platform is very good at bringing a stranger to your door once. What it will not do is tell you who that stranger was, so the second visit has to be bought all over again — at the same rate.
Meanwhile the actual work of a small kitchen happens on WhatsApp. Orders, riders, the family group chat where somebody asks whether the machine is fixed. We did not think restaurants needed to be moved off the thing that already works. We thought the ordering should be moved onto it.
So GetMenu gives a restaurant its own storefront, sends every order into the WhatsApp groups the team already lives in, and charges a flat monthly fee that does not grow when the restaurant does.
These are not marketing lines. They are decisions in the code, made because the alternative costs a restaurant money on a busy night.
The checkout preview and the real charge are produced by the same calculation, not two that are meant to agree. A total is always the sum of the lines printed above it — never a separate sum that might disagree by a fils.
If our billing system is ever confused about what you have paid for, it lets you through. Wrongly allowing a feature costs us a little money. Wrongly denying one stops a restaurant serving dinner.
Transactional and marketing messages travel in separate lanes that cannot merge. A promotional blast can never delay the ticket that tells your kitchen an order came in.
Every restaurant's data is separated at the database level, not by a filter in the application. There is no query in the system that can return another kitchen's orders by accident.
Tested and ready, but no restaurant has leaned on them in a real service yet. We would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
