⚡ In short

Socialknocks gives restaurants and cafes their own online food ordering store: a menu with categories, variants and add-ons, delivery or pickup, opening hours, order verification to stop fake orders, receipts, discounts, and a mini POS for counter orders. Orders go to you directly. It comes with paid plans from $49 a month.

What your customers see

What you control

Stopping fake and prank orders

Before an order is placed, the customer confirms they are real: either with a 6-digit code sent to their email, or by solving a quick slide-the-piece puzzle. This protects your kitchen from fake orders, and it works across the store types.

Your link, your customers

Orders come to your own store, not a marketplace feed. Share the link on Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Google, and put a QR code on your tables and packaging. You can use your own domain too, see online store custom domain. For more than one outlet, see multi-location online ordering.

Fill the store with customers

A store needs traffic. The Socialknocks AI agent plans and posts your content, and Instant Replies answers customers on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and WhatsApp, including an Order Now button that opens your menu. Use our restaurant 30-day content plan.
