Custom-scoped in-person systems

One system from the first tap to the final ticket.

We can build the ordering, kitchen, delivery, inventory, and reporting workflow first. Hardware and live Stripe processing are scoped, approved, connected, and tested separately before activation.

Restaurant setup

Orders come in everywhere. The kitchen sees one queue.

Take pickup and in-house delivery orders online, enter an order at either checkout iPad, or send it from the customer’s table on a staff phone. Staff phones only take the order and send it straight to the kitchen queue — the order isn’t paid for on the phone. Checkout and card payment happen at the counter reader. Menus, modifiers, taxes and order status stay consistent.

Try the workflow

Follow one order from staff to kitchen.

Staff enters an order, the customer pays on the required reader, and the kitchen receives the ticket.

Step 1

Order entered

Staff enters two burgers and fries from a phone or counter screen.

Step 2

Payment confirmed

The customer completes payment on the required customer-facing reader.

Step 3

Preparing

The paid ticket reaches one kitchen queue and staff begins preparation.

Step 4

Ready

Kitchen staff marks the ticket ready and the customer-facing status updates.

This updates alongside the kitchen ticket.

Demo only

No real charge, text, or order is created.

Live order flow

Website, counter and table orders meet in the middle.

Set delivery distances, separate fees and minimum orders. Then choose how the kitchen receives each paid or confirmed order.

Printed ticket

Or both

External kitchen printing requires a confirmed compatible network or cloud printer and may need a small local print bridge. Stripe’s Verifone V660p can print supported content through its embedded printer.

Staff phones are for order entry only — they create an order and send it to the kitchen. No card payment is captured on a phone; Tap to Pay and phone checkout are not part of the sold system. Every checkout and card payment is completed at the counter reader.

Packages, not loose parts

Start with the setup that matches your floor.

Every package includes a smart reader with a customer-facing screen — the customer sees the amount and leaves a tip on the reader, not on your staff's iPad. Hardware estimates are illustrative and purchased separately; we confirm compatibility and the final list before you buy anything.

Retail systems

Your counter and website can share one inventory brain.

We build the catalog and inventory workflow around your products, locations and staff—not around a generic retail template.

Catalog built your way

Products, variants, SKUs and barcode lookup shaped around what you sell.

Stock stays connected

Online and counter sales reduce the same inventory, with receiving and manual adjustments.

Know before you run out

Low-stock alerts, reorder thresholds and a clear history of inventory changes.

Returns make sense

Eligible returns and exchanges put items back into stock and preserve the transaction record.

One or two checkout iPadsBarcode scanner where appropriateMultiple stock locationsUnified sales reporting

Large catalogs, data migration, multi-location rules and advanced purchasing workflows are scoped before work begins and may require an additional startup estimate.

In-person pricing

A lower platform rate for physical sales.

Physical POS payments processed through a system we build carry a flat 0.50% Rocket Websites platform fee, regardless of commitment.

Rocket Websites + Stripe

3.20% + 5¢

Estimated combined charge using Stripe’s published standard U.S. in-person rate of 2.7% + 5¢ and our 0.50% fee.

On a $100 in-person card sale

Rocket Websites: $0.50
Stripe estimate: $2.75
Estimated total: $3.25

Standard U.S. card illustration only. Stripe sets its rates and eligibility. Cash, a POS we did not build, readers on an unrelated Stripe account, and transactions entered into unrelated software do not carry our fee.
