Build a food ordering platform
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe your food ordering platform — modifier-aware menus, capped pickup windows, per-location kitchen screens, loyalty, and checkout — and it builds it on your own Stripe account.
Just enter your idea into the text box and AI will build it for you
What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a marketplace app or a fixed ordering widget — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in your own words, and Kliv builds it: the menu, modifiers, checkout, kitchen screens, pickup windows, loyalty, and admin views. What you get is a real web app that’s yours, connected to your own Stripe account, and you can change it later by asking. It isn’t a restaurant theme with an order form added.
On this page, that app is a food ordering platform. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this page focuses on order-ahead, capacity, kitchen operations, loyalty, and location-specific menus.
Why build your own ordering?
A restaurant’s direct ordering site should match the kitchen. Modifiers need structure, pickup windows need limits, sold-out items can differ by location, and regular customers should remain yours.
Kliv builds the ordering app around your shop: menu records, modifiers, location queues, capped pickup windows, loyalty, online payments, and reports.
What the kitchen knows
Noon works when these records stay accurate.
Menu and modifiers
No cilantro, extra pâté, baguette or roll: modifiers are structured options with prices, not notes the kitchen has to interpret.
Pickup windows
Each 15-minute window can have a ceiling. When the 12:15 window reaches eight orders, it stops being offered.
Two locations, one brand
Each location can have its own queue and sold-out switches. Location B running out of pork does not change Location A’s menu.
Punch-card loyalty
The ninth sandwich can run through checkout at zero, so the free item is recorded in the same ledger as the paid eight.
Order lifecycle
Placed, confirmed, ready: the customer page can track status, and ready emails can send automatically.
Opening hours
Ordering can open and close on a schedule, with an early-close switch for days when equipment fails or stock runs out.
An example: Linh’s two sandwich shops
Here’s how one restaurant might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own menu, locations, pickup limits, loyalty, and kitchen process.
Ordering opens on schedule
At 10:30, Linh’s order-ahead site opens. Location B still shows pâté chaud sold out until the delivery arrives.
Kitchen screens sort by pickup time
Pre-orders arrive for both locations, and each kitchen sees its own queue sorted by pickup time instead of order time.
A full window stops selling
At 12:05, the 12:15 slot at Location A reaches eight orders. New customers are offered 12:30 instead.
Modifiers reach the kitchen clearly
Order 118 says no cilantro, extra pâté, cut in half. Each choice is structured data on the order.
Sold-out items change per location
Location B marks lemongrass pork sold out with one tap. Location A keeps selling it.
Loyalty stays in the numbers
A regular earns the ninth sandwich free, and the free item still passes through checkout so Linh can see what loyalty costs.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include menu options, prices, windows, location rules, loyalty, and reports. Here are three to build on:
Sandwich shop
Two locations, modifiers, and capped windows.
“Build order-ahead for my two sandwich shops. The menu should support modifiers like no cilantro, extra pâté for $1.50, baguette or roll, and cut in half. Pickup windows should run every 15 minutes and cap at eight orders per location. Each location should have its own kitchen screen sorted by pickup time, sold-out switches should work per location, and loyalty should give the ninth sandwich free through checkout.”
Neighborhood pizzeria
Half-and-half toppings and timed pickup.
“Build an ordering site for a pizzeria. Customers should choose whole or half-and-half pizzas, toppings should be priced by size, pickup slots should cap at 12 orders per 15 minutes on Fridays, and each pizza should have a sold-out switch for dough or toppings.”
Weekend bakery drops
Fixed-count pre-orders that close automatically.
“Build a pre-order site for a bakery. Each Saturday cinnamon-roll batch should have a fixed count of 180, ordering should close when sold out or Friday at 6:00 p.m., pickup should run Saturday 8:00 to 11:00 in 15-minute slots, and customers should pay online when they order.”
How it comes together
Windows keep their capacity. A pickup window’s ceiling is checked where the order is placed. When a window is full, it is no longer offered.
Loyalty stays auditable. The free ninth sandwich can pass through checkout at zero, receive a receipt, and appear in the reports.
The rush can be tested. A Scenario can fill a fake Tuesday in a real browser and prove that the ninth order into a full slot is refused before real customers use it.
When the shop starts selling jars, merch, or subscriptions beyond the counter, that broader direct-to-customer path is mapped at Kliv for D2C.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI that builds custom web apps from a description. For food ordering, it can build menus, modifiers, checkout, pickup windows, kitchen screens, loyalty, and reports.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Your menu, locations, modifiers, capacity rules, loyalty, and kitchen workflow are built around your shop.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can change menu fields, prices, pickup limits, locations, loyalty rules, or reports later.
Can pickup windows really cap orders?
Yes. Each window can have a ceiling checked at checkout. Once full, the window stops being offered.
Can two locations share one site?
Yes. One brand can have multiple locations, each with its own kitchen screen, queue, sold-out switches, and pickup windows.
How do customers pay?
Online at checkout, through your own Stripe account. The card is charged when the order is placed.
Do customers need their own Stripe accounts?
No. Customers pay by card. Payments run through your Stripe account.
Does Kliv take a cut of each order?
No. Kliv does not take a payment cut. Card fees are between you and Stripe.
What happens when something runs out mid-rush?
A sold-out switch can turn off an item per location immediately. Existing orders stay intact; new orders cannot include the item.
Can loyalty run through checkout?
Yes. The free item can be recorded as a checkout item at zero, so the cost of loyalty is visible.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The ordering site can run on your own domain.
Will the site show up in search?
Yes. Public pages are prerendered and readable to search engines, with a sitemap generated for the site.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull, not a rebuild.
