Square / Toast
Cheap until a wedding cake needs a deposit, a remaining balance, and a pickup slot that is not “ASAP.” Inventory does not hold the future bake.
US + Canada · hosted WordPress · 0% guest fee
The CMS for takeout kitchens that still bake to order.
OS Kitchen is a hosted WordPress site plus a mini-CRM for bakeries, confectioners, ghost kitchens, and small takeout. Own Google. Own the repeat customer. Do not rent DoorDash for people who already typed your name.
Month to month. Stripe processing only. No 2-year Toast contract. No 5% “support” fee on your branded checkout.
Deadline
GloriaFood dies 30 April 2027.
Oracle closed new signups. The widget, QR, and Order button go dark. We import the menu and stand up a real site before that date.
The gap
Restaurant POS is built for tables. Bakery software is built for costing. Neither is a site you can rank.
Owner.com / ChowNow
Cookie-cutter “commission-free” sites. The guest still pays 5–7.5%. Custom cake tickets do not exist. You do not own a real CMS.
DoorDash / Uber / Skip
Canada Plus delivery is 25%. Fine for discovery. Expensive for the person who already follows you on Instagram.
