StreamOrders vs. your own online ordering platform

Quick answer

StreamOrders and a dedicated online ordering platform solve different problems. StreamOrders manages your orders and menus across third-party delivery apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, and routes those orders into your POS. Your own platform — like ordering.co — is a branded, commission-free channel where customers order directly from you. They aren't really competitors: most operators keep StreamOrders for the apps and connect it to ordering.co for the channel they own, with everything kept in sync.

What StreamOrders is best at

Centralizing delivery apps — one menu published to DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub.
Routing orders to your POS — third-party orders land in systems like Toast or Clover.
One dashboard — fewer tablets, fewer missed tickets.

What your own ordering platform is best at

Commission-free direct orders — a branded website, native apps, kiosk and call center.
Owning the customer — you keep the data and the relationship, not the marketplace.
Delivery, marketing and loyalty — run your own drivers or third-party logistics, plus promotions and loyalty.

Do you have to choose?

Frequently asked questions

Is StreamOrders an online ordering platform?

StreamOrders is an order and menu management tool for third-party delivery apps. It is not, by itself, a branded online ordering website and app that customers order from directly. For that, you connect it to a platform like ordering.co.

Should I replace StreamOrders with ordering.co?

Usually not. Most operators keep StreamOrders for their delivery-app orders and add ordering.co as their own commission-free channel, connecting the two so everything stays in sync.

What is the main difference?

StreamOrders organizes the channels you pay commissions on. Your own platform is the channel you own and keep more margin from. They cover different parts of your ordering.

Can the two stay in sync?

Yes. Connecting StreamOrders to ordering.co keeps one consistent menu and one order flow across your delivery apps and your own storefront.

Keep StreamOrders for the apps and connect it to ordering.co for your own commission-free storefront, delivery and marketing.
