We Built This Because We Couldn’t Get Through to a Restaurant
Takeout Button® started with a missed order and a simple question — Why are so many great restaurants still hard to order from?
Since 2013, we’ve been helping independent restaurants capture those missed orders with systems that actually fit how they operate.

Our Story
It started with one missed order — and a question we couldn’t shake.
That restaurant didn’t lose us because of the food. They lost us because ordering wasn’t easy.
One Missed Order Changed Everything
We couldn’t get through to order from a favorite local restaurant. We knew they weren’t ignoring us — they were simply too busy. But we wondered how many other orders were being lost the same way.
A Better Way to Order Direct
Instead of accepting the problem, we built a direct online ordering system restaurants could fully own — making it easier for customers to order while fitting naturally into the way restaurants operate.
Restaurants Asked for More
As our restaurant partners grew, so did their needs. We expanded beyond online ordering to include custom websites, online catering, online shop solutions, and automated email marketing — all designed to work together under one roof.
Still Focused on Independent Restaurants
More than a decade later, we continue helping independent restaurants across the country take more direct orders, strengthen customer relationships, and build a business that’s truly their own.
Looking Back
As Takeout Button® continued to grow, many restaurant owners shared how our ordering solutions fit into their day-to-day operations. This video captures a moment from our journey and the relationships we built along the way.
Restaurant Owners in Their Own Words
These conversations were recorded in 2018 while these restaurant owners were using Takeout Button®. Their experiences reflect the relationships we built, the challenges we helped solve, and our commitment to supporting independent restaurants—values that continue to guide us today.
Built to Fit Your Workflow — Not Replace It
You’ve already built a restaurant that works. Your team has routines, your kitchen has a flow, and your operations are uniquely yours.
Our job isn’t to change how you run your restaurant. It’s to make online ordering, catering, and online sales fit naturally into the way you already work.
What We’re Not
A marketplace — customers stay on your site
A POS replacement — we work with your existing setup
A delivery company — we connect you to driver networks
A one-size-fits-all platform
Built for chains first — built for independents
Who We Work With
We’re a strong fit for businesses that want more control over their online ordering — without rebuilding their entire operation.
