0% LineForge commissionYour branded storefrontCore + optional upgradesBuilt in Ontario

LineForge does not take a percentage or per-order commission from restaurant orders. Your direct ordering channel connects guests with your restaurant, while the software arrangement stays separate from the value of each order.

No per-order LineForge commission.Recurring software and any agreed setup services are separate. Standard payment-processing and optional delivery-provider fees apply.

Direct orders and marketplace orders serve different purposes

A marketplace may help a diner discover a restaurant. Your direct ordering site is a destination for guests who reach you through your website, a recommendation or your own marketing. Replacing software does not automatically move marketplace demand to your direct channel.

Compare costs for the orders you reasonably expect to receive directly. Give returning guests a clear ordering link and a reliable experience, then measure how the channel develops.

Compare total cost using your own numbers

Use recent invoices, your average order value and comparable order volume. Include fixed software charges, per-order charges, processing, delivery and setup. Our restaurant ordering cost calculator keeps gross commission avoided separate from the difference in the costs you enter.

Questions worth asking any provider

  • Is there a fixed fee, percentage, per-order charge or combination?
  • Which fees are paid by the restaurant, and which are passed to guests?
  • What setup, training and support are included?
  • What happens to existing orders and data when you change providers?
  • Which delivery and payment costs remain outside the subscription?
