Zecoa is the whole ordering stack a restaurant runs on its own name. Customers order on your domain, the pass accepts, the kitchen board lights up, and your own rider carries it to the door — one order record the whole way.
Follow a single order from the sofa to the doorstep.
Four apps reading one order record. Nothing is synced, re-keyed or reconciled — the same order simply appears on the next screen the moment it needs to.

Aisha orders from her home screen
No app store, no download. She picks a chicken shawarma with extra garlic, adds a doorbell note, spends some loyalty points and pays with Apple Pay. Her phone sends a cart, never a total — your server prices every line from your own menu. The card is authorised, not taken.

The phone at the pass won't stop ringing
The order sits at the top of the board with a countdown and a stripe showing how much of your accept window is left. Your manager reads the items, sets a 25-minute prep time and taps Accept. The alarm stops, the hold is captured, and Aisha’s tracking screen updates.

A ticket lands in New with a pulsing ring
The printer fires a paper copy on its own. Every line shows quantity and modifiers, the doorbell note sits in a highlighted row, and the band down the side is green — until your caution threshold turns it amber. The All-Day rail updates: nine shawarmas outstanding.

Marek hands it over against a two-digit code
A cook taps the ticket through to Ready. Dispatch offers the drop to Marek, on duty in that zone, with the route already drawn on his map. He collects against the reference, rides, and confirms at the door with Aisha’s code. The order closes.
See it working
A Friday night, live.
This is the kitchen board, running. Orders arrive, timers climb, tickets band themselves against the thresholds, and a completed order can be pulled back for thirty seconds.

This board is a demonstration. The orders, names and timings on it are examples, not live data from a restaurant.
Built for the rush
Everything here exists because something went wrong once.
Ordering software is easy to demo and hard to survive a Friday with. These are the parts that earn their keep at half past eight.

Nothing gets lost
Orders arrive over a websocket on your own private channel, with a poll behind it and a Connected / Reconnecting pill so staff know whether to trust the screen. A dropped request keeps the last good board.

Prices are settled on the server
The app never sends a total — it sends a cart, and the server prices it from your own menu. Card payments are held, then captured only when you accept and released when you reject.

Your kitchen's own words
Your stage names drive the board, your per-service timings decide what counts as late, and your colours are contrast-checked so every label stays readable. English and Greek, per device.

The ticket prints itself
Bluetooth thermal on arrival, with a retry queue, an offline banner and a watchdog — so a jammed printer becomes a badge to tap, not a missing dish.
Order completed Undo · 30s
Thirty seconds to undo
A mis-tap on a wet screen recalls the ticket. The escape from a mistake is always bigger than the button that caused it, and never wears the same colour.
Names, addresses, order history, loyalty balances and marketing permission sit in your own database — exportable on any plan. A marketplace will never hand you that list.
The arithmetic
A marketplace takes a third. We take a monthly fee.
On 450 orders a month at a £24 average — £10,800 of order value — the difference is not a rounding error. It is a second rent.
On the whole basket, including the regulars who already knew your name. £38,880 a year.

Between those two columns, on the same trade. That is the rent you are currently paying.
Why own it
The person who ordered from you is your customer — not the platform’s.
On a marketplace you get a first name and a drop-off address. They get the email, the history and the right to put a competitor’s discount in front of that person on a quiet Tuesday. On your own site, the account, the saved addresses, the loyalty balance and the marketing permission belong to you.
Connect your own payment gateway for a flat monthly fee, or let us handle payments for a flat commission. Everything else is identical.
Subscription
£40 /month
Up to 600 orders a month. Your own payment gateway, and we take no percentage of anything.
Subscription
£60 /month
Unlimited orders, no cap, ever. Same software, same support, your own gateway.
Commission
5% flat
No monthly fee and no gateway to open — we manage the payments end to end, card fees included.
Every plan includes all four apps, setup and training — and, for a limited time, free hosting for your ordering site if you don’t already have it (normally £2 a month).
We import your menu, set your kitchen's own stage names and timings, connect your gateway and run a full evening alongside whatever you use now. If it doesn't hold up on a Friday, it isn't ready.
