What it does for you

Everything cafés, trucks and caterers run on, in one app

On your phone and your computer, for the whole team. All of it is in the one price.

Catering, request to invoiceCustomers ask on your request page: the date, how many people, a budget, pickup or delivery. It waits as a quote with your deposit.
Pickup orders with limitsYour order days and hours, how many orders a day, and when orders close.
Sold out on the menuMark an item sold out or set a daily count, and orders past it are stopped.
It’s ready textsMark an order ready and the customer gets a text, in English, Spanish or Vietnamese.
Catering deliveriesThe day’s deliveries in order, and the customer gets a “delivered at 8:52 am” text.
Allergen labels and warningsIngredients and the nine major allergens on each item, labels for the day, and a red warning when an order clashes with an allergy.
Calls answered mid-rushThe AI receptionist answers the calls you miss and takes down the order or the catering question for you. 100 calls a month included.
Tap to Pay at Square’s level2.7% + 15 cents, all Stripe’s, into your own account. Tips, tip pooling and timesheets are in too.

At the counter

Sell at the counter or the truck window

The Sell tab is a till on any phone, tablet or computer. Your menu is the buttons, so a sale is a few taps.

Card, phone or cash, with tipsTap to Pay on the iPhone app, a code the customer scans with their own phone, or cash with the change worked out. Add a tip? shows before a card.
Options, for here or to go“Milk: pick one” with Oat +75 cents, extras, a name on the order, and a Ready text when it’s up.
Deals that run themselves“Happy hour: 20% off drinks, 3 to 5 pm” switches on and off by itself.
Close the dayCount the drawer and see if it’s over or short, then what the day made: money in, best sellers and sales by hour. A text the next morning sums it up.
Stock countsThe till shows “3 left” and goes Sold out at zero. You see what’s running low, and record what came in.
RefundsGive back some items or an amount, the way they paid or as store credit, and put the items back in stock.
Gift cards and loyaltySell gift cards at the till and take them as payment. Loyalty runs on their phone number: a stamp a visit or points a dollar, no app or card.
Keeps going with no signalOn the phone app, cash sales keep working with no signal, at a market or on the road, and send when it’s back.

All of it is in the one price, gift cards and loyalty too. Toast’s plan with loyalty and catering is $578 a month (its pricing page, October 2026).

Questions

What cafés, trucks and caterers ask us

How much does ohelloo Work cost for cafés, trucks and caterers?

Nothing to start: the free plan is for you and one helper, with 5% + 25¢ on each payment made online. Get booked is $79 a month for your whole team, month to month, with no setup fee and your first 14 days free. Get regulars ($299) is the same app with us doing more of the work.

Is there a contract or hardware to buy?

No. It’s month to month on the phones and computers you already have, and your first 14 days are free.

Do you take a commission on orders?

No. You pay one monthly price and the card fee on each payment, and nothing is added to what your customers pay.

How does catering work?

Customers fill in your request page with the date, how many people, a budget, pickup or delivery, and pictures if they like. It waits in Work as a quote with your usual deposit. Once they approve it, one tap makes it an order on its day.

Will the AI take orders on the phone?

It answers the calls you miss, in English or Spanish if you like, and takes down what the caller wants for your team to confirm. 100 calls a month are included.

What are the card fees?

Tap to Pay on the iPhone app is 2.7% + 15 cents, all Stripe’s, and ohelloo takes nothing. A card paid online is 2.9% + 30 cents (also all Stripe’s), and a bank payment 1%.

Is there a till for the counter?

Yes. The Sell tab rings up a sale in a few taps on any phone, tablet or computer: options like oat milk, for here or to go, tips, and cash with the change worked out. Scan barcodes or sell by weight for a deli case, and close the day with a drawer count and what you made.

Can customers order ahead online?

Yes, on your free order page, worded for food: your menu, pickup times and payment upfront. Make it at ohelloo.com/kitchen and connect it in Settings → Orders, and every paid order shows up in Work on its pickup day, already paid, on your prep list. Add discount codes, tips or pay at pickup, and show your reviews on the page. On a paid plan (Get booked, $79 a month), Work asks for a Google review a couple of days after pickup, by text or email.

Does it work in the truck with no signal?

Cash sales keep working on the phone app with no signal and send when it’s back. Paying by card or by a code needs a signal.

Are gift cards and loyalty extra?

No, they’re in the one price. Sell gift cards at the till and take them as payment, and run loyalty by phone number: a stamp a visit or a point a dollar, with a text when a reward is ready. Toast’s plan with loyalty and catering is $578 a month.

What’s in the price?

Everything in the app for your whole team: orders, customers, quotes and invoices, card and bank payments, Tap to Pay, a till for the counter with gift cards and loyalty, the texting inbox, review requests, timesheets and an AI receptionist for the calls you miss (100 a month). No add-ons.
