Ordering.co vs StreamOrders
StreamOrders centralizes your menu and routes DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub orders into your POS. Ordering.co is the ordering platform itself: your own storefront and apps, a kiosk, AI ordering agents, and a driver app for your own fleet, open to build on with API, webhooks, and MCP. Ordering.co also lists Stream as a POS integration, so you can keep Stream and add the direct channels it does not run. Start with a free pilot on your own menu.

Enterprise brands running on Ordering.co technology
Why restaurants choose Ordering.co over StreamOrders
Four reasons that come up when restaurants look past marketplace menu sync toward a direct ordering platform.
Enterprise-grade
The same foundation that runs enterprise groups
Ordering.co runs ordering for enterprise groups such as Alsea, which operates Domino's, Starbucks, Burger King, and seven more brands on one platform across more than 4,000 locations. Its auto-scaling infrastructure can process millions of orders a month, so the same foundation scales from one location to a multi-brand group.

20+ products, 1,500+ features
A direct ordering platform, not just marketplace sync
Websites, branded apps, self-ordering kiosks, AI ordering agents, store operations, delivery with your own drivers, marketing, and loyalty run on the same catalog and order flow. More than 20 products and 1,500 features come from one provider, so a new channel is a configuration on the same platform.
API, MCP, source code
An open platform your team can build on
Connect any system through the Ordering.co API and webhooks, plug AI tools in through MCP, and, on eligible plans, build on the frontend source code of the storefront and apps. Your team can change the ordering experience without waiting on a vendor roadmap.
Keep Stream. Add your own ordering channels.
You do not have to choose one or the other. Ordering.co lists Stream among its POS integrations, so Stream can keep syncing your marketplace menus while Ordering.co runs your branded website, apps, kiosk, AI ordering agents, and your own delivery. The Ordering.co team coordinates the connection and confirms your POS, locations, and order flow before setup.

What StreamOrders leaves to other vendors
What restaurants run into on StreamOrders.
No branded storefront of its own
StreamOrders syncs one menu to marketplaces, Order with Google, and partner ordering platforms; it lists no branded website, app, kiosk, or call center console of its own.
No delivery of its own
StreamOrders routes marketplace orders such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub into the restaurant's POS. Dispatch runs through partners in its integration directory; it lists no driver app or delivery dashboard of its own for a restaurant's fleet.
Kitchen display and reseller are third-party or add-on
Kitchen-display support runs through an integration partner (RocketBox) rather than a first-party display, and the white-label offering is priced separately from $30 a month with a requested demo.
No MCP or source code license
StreamOrders documents a partner API for POS and ordering platforms, with access by request, but lists no MCP connection or frontend source code license.

Ordering.co adds the direct ordering channels, operations, and delivery that sit alongside StreamOrders' menu and marketplace sync. Start with a free pilot, trace one real order, and confirm the StreamOrders connection scope for your project.
What moves
Menus and catalogs
Products, categories, modifiers, prices, and images, checked on one representative store before the full import.
Stores and teams
Store records, hours, service areas, handoff modes, and the roles and access levels your team uses to run the day.
Customers and order history
Customer and order records that your existing systems contain and that your data rights and retention rules allow you to move.
Domains and apps
Your ordering domain points to the new storefront. With the same developer accounts and app listing, the new build can ship as an update under the existing icon.
POS, payments, and delivery
POS, payment, delivery, loyalty, and analytics connections, reconfigured against your existing provider accounts where the provider supports it.
How the move runs
Start with a free pilot
Bring your menu, the order paths your guests use, and the systems that must stay connected, so the pilot tests the operation you actually run.
Trace one real order
Follow an order from menu to payment, fulfillment, support, and reporting. That path shows which decisions the new setup must keep and which ones you want to change.
Build the move map
List each domain, channel, and menu to replace; the menu, store, customer, and order data that matters for launch; who handles each order handoff; and the credentials and callbacks every connected system needs.
Configure and test
Agree on the scenarios that must work before traffic moves: a guest orders and gets a confirmation, the team accepts and completes the order, and every connected system has an owner and a fallback.
Switch store by store
Point your domain and apps to Ordering.co once the checks pass, and keep any StreamOrders-connected channels live until the new setup has proven itself.
Duration depends on store count, menu complexity, POS and payment connections, delivery, and app-store access, so the scope, responsibilities, and timing are set in your project plan. Apple and Google decide app review and approval.
Questions from StreamOrders customers
Why choose Ordering.co over StreamOrders?
StreamOrders centralizes your menu and routes marketplace orders into your POS. Ordering.co is the ordering platform itself: your own branded website and apps, a kiosk, AI ordering agents, a driver app for your own fleet, and an open platform with API, webhooks, MCP, and, on eligible plans, frontend source code, all on one catalog and order flow. You can start with a free pilot.
Can we keep using Stream?
Yes. Ordering.co lists Stream as a POS integration. The Ordering.co team coordinates the connection and confirms your POS, locations, order flow, and scope before setup.
Does StreamOrders give restaurants their own ordering website?
StreamOrders' own product pages describe connecting a restaurant's POS to third-party marketplaces such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub and publishing one menu to them. It lists no branded ordering website or app of its own. Ordering.co gives you Ordering Web and branded iOS and Android apps on your domain.
How does Ordering.co pricing compare to StreamOrders?
Ordering.co's Restaurant plan is published from $99 per active location a month, with AI Ordering Suite and Delivery Suite usage billed separately. StreamOrders is free for the first month, then $29 a month for menu and order sync; its white-label Enterprise offering starts at $30 a month behind a requested demo. Bring your current StreamOrders bill and we'll compare it against what it does not cover.
Can we try Ordering.co before we switch?
Yes. Start with a free pilot on your own menu, store, and order paths, and decide on what you have seen working in your operation.
Can Ordering.co grow with us from one location to many?
Ordering.co runs the same foundation from a single restaurant to enterprise groups such as Alsea, which operates ten brands across more than 4,000 locations on auto-scaling infrastructure that can process millions of orders a month.
Can we deliver with our own drivers instead of only marketplace couriers?
Yes. The Driver App and a live delivery dashboard handle assignment, batching, and proof of delivery for a fleet of your own. StreamOrders routes orders from connected marketplaces such as DoorDash and Uber Eats into your POS and leaves dispatch to partners in its integration directory.
Can our developers build our own ordering experience?
Yes. The Ordering.co API and webhooks are included in every plan, MCP connects compatible AI tools, and eligible plans include the frontend source code of the storefront and apps. StreamOrders documents a partner API for integrators; it lists no MCP connection or frontend source code.
How long does it take to add Ordering.co?
It depends on store count, menu complexity, POS and payment connections, delivery, and app-store access. There is no standard timeline; the plan for your restaurant sets the sequence, responsibilities, and dates, starting with the free pilot.
