Software for cloud kitchens

A cloud kitchen has no dining room, no table and no walk-in trade. Every single order arrives through a channel somebody else owns, and every one of them carries a commission.

That makes a direct ordering channel worth more to a cloud kitchen than to anyone else in this business.

Several brands, one kitchen, separate menus

Most cloud kitchens run two, three or five brands from the same stoves. Waplo treats a brand as a real thing: each one has its own menu and its own prices, and the kitchen, the staff and the billing stay shared.

A dish can belong to one brand or to all of them. Retiring a brand does not delete the orders it took.

A POS is meaningless without a building

The classic restaurant software assumes a counter, a table and a customer standing in front of you. A cloud kitchen has none of those, which is why so many kitchens end up running on a notebook and a phone.

Waplo starts from the phone, so there is nothing to adapt.

Your own ordering link, per brand

Each brand can have its own link and its own QR code — for the packaging, the Instagram bio, the WhatsApp status.

A repeat customer who orders from your link costs you nothing. On an aggregator that same customer costs you a fifth of the bill, every single time.

Made-to-order and scheduled work

If you take orders for later — a tray for tomorrow evening, a bulk order for Sunday — Waplo can take the order now and put it in the right day, including when the kitchen is closed at the moment they ask.

You can also cap how many orders you accept in a day, so a viral post does not sell food you cannot cook.

Common questions

Can I keep my aggregator listings?

Yes, and you should. Waplo is the channel you own; the aggregators are where strangers find you. The aim is to move repeat customers, not to disappear.

How many brands can I run?

There is no small fixed limit. Each brand carries its own menu and prices inside one account.

Do I need a separate WhatsApp number per brand?

No. One number can serve every brand you run.

Own the channel your kitchen depends on

Separate menus per brand, one kitchen screen, WhatsApp and QR ordering, no commission.
