Every restaurant in 18 metros, real menus, one front door — at a flat 3%.
“Every restaurant in 18 cities, real menus, one front door”
The problem
Delivery platforms take a quarter of a restaurant's ticket and own the customer relationship. Independent operators are funding their own disintermediation.
In short
A diner-side marketplace built on real, confirmed menus rather than scraped guesses, with an AI concierge that picks from what a kitchen actually serves and carries allergy and dietary constraints through to the ticket. Restaurants claim their page, confirm their menu, and pay a flat 3% — not the quarter of a ticket the category has normalised.

Footprint and metro coverage as published on restaurantpro.ai. The 3% is a flat platform rate on orders.
What is built
- Menu extraction behind a grounding gate — a model may not invent a price it did not read
- Claim and verification flow with time-boxed codes and a reminder sequence
- Live order board, statements, finance exceptions and a merchant operating console
- Display advertising ranked on eCPM, with Sponsored and Featured labelled as fact
- Thousands of cached cuisine and dish SEO pages, and an AI support desk screened both inbound and outbound
How it earns
- 3% flat platform rate on orders
- Basil AI voice, billed per talk minute
- Merchant ERP and workflow tools
- CPC sponsored placements
- Supplier and equipment referrals
Where it goes
- Deepen menu truth per metro before widening the map
- Attach Basil and the merchant OS to claimed restaurants
- Grow advertising only as intent density justifies it
Its place in the portfolio
The 3% rate is a commitment, not an introductory price. Anything that would raise the effective take rate gets flagged before it ships.
