# Taking direct orders by text — without DoorDash or Grubhub commissions

Restaurants pay delivery apps 15–30% per order for customers who were ordering anyway. Text-to-order flips that: the regular texts their order to your own number, the ticket lands in your POS, and the 20–30% never leaves the building.

## How text ordering works for an independent restaurant

1. Your regulars text their usual to your number — no app download, no account creation
2. The order arrives as a confirmed ticket to your kitchen (POS-integrated: Toast, Square, Clover and the rest)
3. You confirm, make it, hand it off — the customer relationship stays yours

Works for pickup and local delivery, alongside your existing phone line and any delivery apps you keep.

## The math on a $40 order

| | Marketplace app | Text-to-order |
|---|---|---|
| Commission/fees | 15–30% ($6–$12) | $0 |
| Customer relationship | The app's | Yours |
| Re-order rate | App decides | Your regulars text directly |

JustText is text-to-order for independent restaurants: no app for your customers, no commission for you, works alongside Toast, Square, Clover and the rest. Setup takes about an hour.
