RestauNax is an all-in-one restaurant technology platform that gives restaurant owners a POS system, online ordering website, custom mobile app, commission-free delivery, loyalty program, and AI-powered marketing tools — all for $99/month. It replaces expensive platforms like Toast, Square, and third-party delivery apps.

What does RestauNax do?

RestauNax provides everything a restaurant needs to operate and grow: a cloud POS system, branded ordering website, iOS & Android mobile app, commission-free delivery via Uber Direct, loyalty & rewards program, AI video creation & social media posting, AI phone ordering, kitchen display system, gift cards, email marketing, SEO dashboard, and self-service kiosk. All features are included in one $99/month subscription.

RestauNax costs $99 per month for the complete platform with all features included. There are no commission fees, no setup costs, and no long-term contracts — you can cancel anytime. Hardware (tablet, card reader, receipt printer) is available separately starting at approximately $1,200.

How does RestauNax work?

You sign up for a free demo, and the RestauNax team builds everything for you within one week — your website, mobile app, POS setup, and menu digitization (using AI).

AI tools handle marketing, phone orders, video creation, and email campaigns automatically.

How is RestauNax different from Castiron or Shopify?

At $4.99/month, RestauNax is a fraction of the cost. Castiron charges $29-59/month, Shopify starts at $39/month, and Square takes transaction fees on top of monthly costs. RestauNax includes everything those platforms offer — plus AI marketing, loyalty programs, and food-specific features — at 85-90% less cost with zero commission fees.

How long does setup take?

24 hours. We find your social media profiles, pull your menu and branding, and our AI builds your professional website automatically. You review, customize, and launch — no design or coding skills needed.

Are there any commission fees?

No — zero commission fees, ever. You keep 100% of your revenue. The only transaction cost is standard Stripe payment processing (2.9% + 30 cents per transaction), which goes directly to Stripe, not RestauNax.

Yes — RestauNax uses Stripe for secure payment processing. Your customers can pay with all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more. Funds are deposited directly to your bank account.
