The gap

Direct ordering should be an advantage — not another system to run

Marketplaces can be useful for discovery. A custom build is yours to maintain forever. NibbleKit gives repeat customers a branded direct channel without the heavy upkeep.

Marketplace apps Useful reach, less ownership.

Useful for reaching new customers, with less control over the repeat-order relationship.

Custom app build Full control, heavy upkeep.

Design, development, hosting and updates become your problem.

NibbleKit Your branded channel, managed for you.

Modern ordering that feels good to use, backed by merchant tools and secure payment processing through Stripe.

The NibbleKit approach

One managed platform that keeps your brand front and centre

Get a direct ordering channel without the cost and upkeep of a custom build. You own the customer relationship, manage your own menus and orders, and receive secure card payments through your own Stripe payment-processing account.

Product FAQ

What NibbleKit is, who it is for and how it works

Answers about the platform, the demo, direct ordering, payments, launch and pricing.

What is NibbleKit?

NibbleKit is a managed direct-ordering and operations platform for food businesses. It combines a branded customer app, secure checkout, merchant control and staff workflows without asking you to maintain a custom technology stack alone.

Who is NibbleKit for?

It is built for takeaways, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, dessert shops, meal-prep brands, and delivery or collection kitchens that want repeat customers to order direct instead of relying only on marketplaces, phone orders, or manual messages.

What can customers do in the app?

Customers can search and browse your catalogue, save favourites, retain basket details, order again from history and follow order progress. A live rollout is configured around your branding, menu, policies and ordering settings.

What can my team run from NibbleKit?

The merchant portal covers catalogue management, availability, delivery areas, discounts, customers, live orders and operational reporting. Dedicated kitchen, dispatch, collection and delivery workflows can keep fulfilment clear where configured.

What reporting is available?

Operational dashboards can show revenue, order volume, average order value, fulfilment time, service mix, delivery outcomes and discount performance. They are designed for day-to-day service insight rather than accounting or profit reporting.

Does NibbleKit replace Just Eat, Uber Eats or Deliveroo?

Not directly. Marketplace apps can still be useful for discovery. NibbleKit is designed for repeat direct ordering, so customers who already know your food can order through a channel you control.

How do payments work?

Customer card payments are securely processed through Stripe using your own payment-processing account. Stripe processing fees, refunds, and chargebacks are separate from any NibbleKit platform fee.

How is pricing agreed?

The entry offer has no monthly platform subscription: it is 3.5% of orders processed through NibbleKit plus a £299 one-off launch setup, excluding VAT and Stripe processing. Higher-volume, multi-location and more involved rollouts are scoped and agreed before launch.

Can we add and update our own menu?

Yes. Your team can add and manage meals, options, images, allergens, ingredients, nutrition information and pricing from the merchant portal.

Does it support delivery, collection and later ordering?

Yes, where configured. NibbleKit supports delivery and collection, prep times, future service days, slots and capacity, delivery areas, handover codes and order-status updates. Availability depends on the launch configuration for your business.

What can I try in the demo?

You can browse seeded menus, place demo orders, save favourites, view order history and explore merchant tools including catalogue management, order handling, discounts, delivery settings and reporting. Use sample data only because demo workspaces may expire or be reset.
