Direct ordering without marketplace fees.
Marketing automation, loyalty, and delivery — all in one place.
Direct ordering, delivery, loyalty, marketing, and operations in one system your restaurant controls.
Your own storefront, menu, checkout, domain, customer accounts, saved addresses, and zero marketplace commissions.
Send campaigns, win back lapsed guests, request reviews after orders, and track revenue back to each send.
Live orders, scheduled orders, receipt printing, refunds, delivery status, and kiosk mode for the counter.
Loyalty, rewards, pop-ups, discount codes, abandoned cart visibility, customer profiles, and owned customer data.
Let guests install your restaurant on their phone and get push notifications when orders are accepted or ready.
Track revenue, order mix, top items, repeat customers, marketing ROI, multi-location performance, and exports.
Most first-time customers never come back on their own. Talos turns every direct order into a list you own — then brings them back automatically.
Marketplaces don't just take a fee. They take the habit.
They love your food
A regular orders the same thing nearly every week.
They open the app
Not yours — the one they've been trained to open.
You pay 30%
On a customer who was already coming back anyway.
You can't reach them
The marketplace owns the next-order path. Not you.
Talos exists to break that loop.
Your branded site keeps you on the customer's home screen instead of buried in a marketplace. Customer accounts and loyalty give them a reason to come back. Win-back marketing reaches them when they go quiet. Review requests turn happy orders into public proof, and private feedback intercepts the unhappy ones before they post a one-star review.
Direct ordering only works when customers are reminded again and again where to order next time. The cost of not doing it isn't just lost relationships — it's measurable.
Here's what every marketplace order actually costs.
Here's the real math behind a $50 order on a third-party app, under 5 miles.
With a Third-Party App
Your Customer Pays
Delivery shows as "Free" — the restaurant pays it via the higher commission.
You Keep
Your customer paid $57.50. You got $33.75 before operating costs. The app kept the rest — and they paid for the customer's "free delivery" by taking more from you.
With Talos
Your Customer Pays
You Keep
Your customer paid $55.99. You kept $48.31. No commission. You control delivery pricing.
You keep $14.56 more on every single order. No commission, no markup.
That's $437/month back in your pocket on just one order a day.
And because you're not paying a commission, you don't need to inflate your menu prices to absorb one — so the same money from your customer buys real menu prices, not the marked-up version they'd see on DoorDash.
And every order you take direct is a customer you can actually bring back.
Figures based on DoorDash's own published pricing — 15% service fee on the customer subtotal and 30% restaurant commission (Premier plan, required for DashPass and customer-facing free delivery; Basic and Plus run 15% and 25% without those benefits). DoorDash also discloses additional long-distance, express, small-order, and local-regulatory fees on top, and openly states that menu prices on the marketplace "may be higher than prices in-store." Delivery rates vary by market. Card processing handled through AMP.

Guides and strategies to help restaurant owners grow their direct ordering business.
Pickup is one of the easiest ways for restaurants to grow direct orders without adding delivery costs or giving away margin. Here’s why pickup should be treated as a profit channel, not a secondary ordering option.
Every time a DoorDash driver leaves your kitchen, you are losing 30% of the sale. Here is the exact strategy to use your own takeout bags to steal those customers back and increase your direct orders.
Inflated online prices give your customers a reason to compare and order through DoorDash or UberEATS instead. Keep your menu prices the same as your store, and use delivery fees and minimums to protect your margins.
Talos gives your restaurant direct ordering, the tools to keep customers coming back, and the data to know what's working — without paying a marketplace for the customers you already earned.
