Your own ordering link
Commission-free online ordering, and where it stands
A storefront of your own keeps the margin a marketplace takes. CountStand has one built, and it is not open for the first restaurants.

01At a glance
What a storefront of your own asks of you
- A way to be foundA storefront serves guests who already know you: regulars, neighbours, people holding your bill. A marketplace brings strangers.
- A menu that is always rightPrices, portions and what is off today have to be exact, because nobody is there to correct an order before it is paid.
- Payment before cookingOnline orders are usually paid first, which needs a payment provider. Online payment through CountStand is not open at launch.
- Delivery of your ownRiders, packaging and a delivery radius are yours to arrange. A storefront takes the order; it does not carry it.
- Someone watchingOrders arrive when guests choose, so somebody has to watch for them between the rushes at the counter.
- Tax on every orderAn order through your own storefront is your sale, so its bill carries your GST and your FSSAI number like any other.
02In detail
How is your own storefront different from a marketplace?
A marketplace is reach you rent. It brings guests who have never heard of you, and in return it keeps a share of every order, the guest’s details and the relationship. A storefront of your own is the other trade: you bring the guest, from your bill, your board or your regulars, and you keep the margin and the guest.
The two do different jobs. A marketplace finds new guests; your own channel is where the ones who liked you come back. Neither replaces the other, and both need a kitchen that can keep up.
What can a CountStand restaurant do for takeaway today?
Take it at the counter. A takeaway order goes into the till like any other, the kitchen gets its ticket, and the bill prints with GST, the FSSAI number and a UPI QR that carries the amount. A guest who calls ahead is keyed in the same way.
The storefront and online payment are built and switched off for the first restaurants. This page says so, rather than describing them as something you can switch on.
