Bilingual websites for Costa Rica restaurants, cafés and bars. Delivery apps like Uber Eats and Rappi take 15-30% of every order, and reservation platforms charge per cover. Your own site - online ordering, reservations, WhatsApp - takes about 4.5% with local card processing, and the customer is yours. Live in 14 days.
No abstract brand talk. Commission, the customers you already feed, and orders that come straight to you.
Uber Eats runs 20-30% per order depending on your tier; Rappi sits in the same band. Your own site with local card processing costs about 4.5%. On every order a regular places direct instead of through an app, you keep most of that gap.
Reservation platforms charge a fee per seated cover plus a monthly subscription. A booking widget on your own site costs you nothing per cover and feeds straight into your floor plan or calendar.
A delivery-app listing and an Instagram page do not rank on Google or surface in AI assistants. A proper bilingual site does. Travelers searching "best breakfast Sámara" or asking an AI where to eat tonight can actually find you - and order direct.
The delivery app keeps the relationship - you never get the email and cannot bring them back. On your own site you capture the order, the contact, and permission to invite them in again. That list is an asset no app will hand you.
Change a price, swap a dish, post tonight's special - yourself, in seconds, in both languages, through the self-serve CMS. No agency, no waiting, no paying per edit.
Same $100,000 of orders, three ways to take them. The only thing that changes is how much of it you keep.
Illustration, not a quote. Your real number depends on how much of your volume is delivery vs dine-in, how much moves to direct, and your local vs international card mix. We run your actual numbers with you before you commit to anything.
One honest note: the apps are still useful for discovery - someone who has never heard of you. The win is taking the regulars and repeat orders, the customers who already love your food, off a 15-30% channel and onto your own. You keep the apps; you just stop paying them on the orders you already earned.
Your POS, reservation system, delivery handoff, payment processor - whatever you already run. If the platform opens an API, we build a clean integration so orders and bookings flow into your existing systems and your kitchen and floor keep working the way they do today. No rip-and-replace, no double entry.
Don't see yours? If it has an open API, we can almost certainly connect it. Tell us what you run and we will confirm before we build.
Restaurant builds are underway now. In the meantime, walk through the live bilingual sites we have shipped for Costa Rican rentals and local businesses - the same craft and the same engine, shaped to a menu and a dining room.
See the sites we have built→A fast, bilingual site that gets you found and makes the food look as good as it tastes - the foundation ordering and reservations plug into.
The basic site is the starting point. What gets added depends on how you serve - we quote it once we understand your setup and what your POS or delivery system supports.
Optional care from $29/month - hosting, payment upkeep, SEO articles, dev requests. Add aerial drone footage $249 for cinematic food and venue shots. Cancel anytime.
No. Keep the apps for discovery if they work for you. The point is to give regulars and repeat customers a place to order directly - your own site at about 4.5% instead of 15-30%. Over time more of your orders move direct and the app commission shrinks as a share of revenue. Many restaurants slip a QR code into app deliveries to nudge the next order to their own site.
We connect to what you already run - POS like Toast or Square, reservations like OpenTable or Resy, delivery handoff, and your payment processor - through their APIs. Orders and bookings flow into your existing systems so your kitchen and floor keep working the way they do today. No rip-and-replace.
ONVO Pay is a Costa Rican payment processor. We integrate it so customers pay on your site and the money lands in your account - we never touch it. Rates are about 4.5% on international cards and 1.5% on local cards. That replaces a 15-30% delivery-app commission on every order you move to direct.
Yes. Online ordering for pickup and delivery, table reservations, and a WhatsApp button can all live on one bilingual site - alongside your menu, prices, photos and story. You edit it yourself anytime through the self-serve CMS.
On a direct order or deposit, the money hits your account when the customer pays - not on the app's payout schedule. For a kitchen managing cash flow daily, that is a real difference, not just a fee saving.
Basic bilingual sites start at $799 and go live in about 14 days. Online ordering, reservations, POS or delivery integration, and on-site ONVO payments are scoped per project, since it depends on the integration type and what your systems support. The site is yours forever; optional Care plans from $29/month cover hosting and upkeep.
WhatsApp is fastest - text or voice notes, whatever is easiest for you. We answer within an hour. No bots, no platform. A real person who lives here, will listen first, and run your real numbers before pitching anything. A cafecito beats a quote any day.
