Who we are
Panda Eats makes premium software for independent restaurants. Branded online ordering that runs on your own site, the tools to run it properly, and an app that puts the whole thing in your pocket - built so the order, the customer and the money all stay yours.
Built on the infrastructure trusted by millions of businesses.
Card data and PCI compliance are handled by Stripe - never by us.
Our mission
Independents get sold the cut-down version of everything: fewer features, slower support, and a contract that is easier to sign than to leave. We build one product, at full quality, and price it so a single location can afford it. That is the whole idea.
One version of the product, built properly, for everyone. Nothing held back for a tier you are not on, and no add-on pricing for the things every restaurant already needs.
We would rather be worth keeping than hard to leave. What you pay is tied to what the software is actually doing for you, the price is published rather than quoted, and you are never billed extra for the things every restaurant already needs.
Your menu, your customers, your brand, your domain, your payouts. Nothing here is rented back to you, and nothing keeps you here if you decide to go.
What we offer
Two products and one sign-in, with the same menu behind both. Change a price once and it is changed everywhere.
Pickup, delivery, reservations and catering, on your own site and under your own name.
Your restaurant in your pocket - check on it and control it from anywhere.
A closer look
Anyone can put a menu on a website. These are the parts owners tell us actually matter once the tickets start stacking up.
The tablet chime escalates, plays over silent mode, wakes the screen, and does not stop until a person taps Accept.
Your name, your colors, your domain. Customers order on your site and never get handed off to somebody else's brand.
Sizes with their own prices, required and optional modifier groups, min and max choices. The kitchen never gets an incomplete ticket.
Circles or freehand shapes, a fee and a minimum per zone, and anything outside the map is turned away before it reaches you.
Thermal printers are discovered automatically, and kitchen tickets and customer receipts can go to different machines.
Names, emails and phone numbers sit in your dashboard, exportable, so you can run a promotion without asking anyone's permission.
Revenue, top sellers, and new against returning customers, on screen and in CSV whenever you want them.
Two lines of HTML on the site you already have. Wix, WordPress, Squarespace or hand-built - no rebuild and no developer.
Pricing
No quote calls, no contact-sales wall, and no number that changes depending on who is asking. Every price we charge is published on the page for the product it belongs to, in full, including the parts that are not ours.
The price is on the page before you talk to anyone, and it is the same price for a single dining room as for a group.
Online ordering is priced against the orders you actually take, so a slow month costs you less and it earns its keep before it costs you anything.
What a third party charges you, like card processing, is called out as theirs rather than buried in ours.
The point of sale and the kiosk are still in development, so neither of them is priced yet. When we know, this page will say so.
In development
Two products in active development, built into the same system rather than bolted onto it. We will not give you a date we are not sure of - when they are ready, you will hear it here first.
Ring up in-person orders and take payment at the table.
Built on the same menu and order core the rest of Panda Eats runs on, so a price change is one edit and the counter and the website can never disagree.
Let walk-in guests browse, order and pay at a branded screen.
Your menu and your artwork on a touchscreen by the door, with card payment handled by Stripe hardware, to take the pressure off the counter at the rush.
From the kitchen floor
Independent restaurants in South Florida, running their own ordering, in their own name.
Panda Eats came in to help out big time when we needed it most. They built up an amazing online menu for the restaurant, took care of all social media management and Google, and on top of that built a website that was more than we could've hoped for. They take their job personal and treat you the right way. Highly recommended!

Joining Panda Eats has been one of the best decisions for my restaurant. Rene and his team have been incredibly supportive of all our needs and have provided outstanding support from day one. Whatever we may need, whether it's part of their services or not, they're always available for us. Rene always finds a solution for anything and everything, and I can confidently say he's there for us 24/7.

Great support, they are local and very responsive, which is the most important thing for me. They do my online ordering, website integration, and flyers.

Straight answers
Branded online ordering on your own website - pickup, delivery, reservations and catering - plus the menu builder, delivery zones, promotions, reservations, reporting and the order-taking tablet app that go with it. You also get the merchant app, so you can check revenue and pause service from your phone. It is one product with everything switched on, not a starter tier.
We build your menu with you rather than handing you an empty builder - photos, sizes, modifiers and all. Then the ordering button goes onto your existing website, which is a single line of code your web person can paste in, or we do it for you. You get a tablet that rings for new orders and we pair it with your printer. You keep your existing website, domain and register exactly as they are.
Every price we charge is published rather than quoted, and it sits on the page for the product it belongs to so you can read it in full. Online ordering is priced against the orders you actually take, and the online ordering page has the exact figure, a calculator you can run on your own volume, and the small print about what Stripe charges separately.
Yes, and it is the part we care most about. Every order carries the customer's name, email and phone into your dashboard, where you can read it, filter it and export it. Run your own promotions, send your own email, win back your own regulars. We do not market to your customers and we do not sell the list.
Both are in development. They are being built on the same menu and order core online ordering already uses, so when they arrive they are something you can add rather than a migration you are forced through. We have not set pricing for either one, because we have not finished building them, and we are not going to invent a number to make this page look complete.
Then you leave. Online ordering has no contract behind it, so there is nothing to unwind and no penalty to pay - cancel from the dashboard whenever you like. Your menu, your customers and your website were yours the whole time, and you keep all three.
Branded online ordering on your own site, with the menu, the tablet, the reporting and the setup help included. Go and see exactly what it does, and what it would feel like to own the whole thing.
