Take Restaurant Online Orders Without Losing 30% to Third Parties
A $50 third-party order leaves you with $35 after marketplace commission. The same $50 order taken directly through Aedan Rose leaves you with $48 — you keep 100% of every order after Stripe processing fees, because Aedan Rose takes zero commission. Over a year that gap pays for the entire platform many times over.

The real cost of this problem
Third-party marketplaces typically charge restaurants 15–30% per order. For a $50 average ticket, that's $7.50–$15 going to the marketplace before food cost. The marketplace also owns the guest data — when your restaurant ends a relationship with them, you lose the customer relationship too.
Most restaurants tolerate the commission because building direct online ordering felt complicated: configure a menu, take payment, route to the kitchen, handle modifiers, handle delivery zones. That's a real engineering project on top of running a kitchen.
AI conversational ordering collapses that complexity. Guests order in plain language. Stripe Connect handles payment straight to your bank — Aedan Rose takes zero commission, so you keep 100% of every order after standard Stripe processing fees. You own the data, the relationship, and the margin.
How Aedan Rose solves it
-
1
Order in plain conversation
Guests type what they want — "two margaritas, the calamari, and the bronzino, can the bronzino be gluten-free" — and the agent matches against your menu, handles modifiers, suggests upsells where appropriate, and totals the order.

Stripe Connect pays you direct — Aedan Rose takes zero commission
Payouts flow to your Stripe Connect account on your schedule — daily, weekly, or instant. No marketplace middleman, no platform cut. You keep 100% of every order after standard Stripe processing fees (2.9% + 30¢). Run owner-shared payout (one entity) or per-restaurant separate accounts for groups with multiple LLCs.

Fuzzy menu matching handles "you know what I mean"
Guests rarely type your exact menu item names. The agent matches "burger" to "Aedan Burger Deluxe" without making the guest pick from a dropdown. Modifiers, allergens, and "no onions" instructions all land on the ticket.

Frequently asked questions
Does Aedan Rose handle delivery?
Not directly. We handle the order intake, payment, and the kitchen ticket. Delivery dispatch is not a built-in feature today — most operators pair direct ordering with their existing delivery solution or pickup-only.
What about Toast / Square / Clover integration?
There is no direct POS integration today. The agent handles the conversational ordering layer; orders surface to your team via the dashboard and mobile push. We will not claim a Toast/Square/Clover sync we haven't shipped.
How do I get the payment money?
Through Stripe Connect. You connect your Stripe account once, payouts flow direct. Multi-restaurant operators can choose owner-default account (single entity) or per-restaurant accounts (separate LLCs).
What if the guest tries to order a menu item that doesn't exist?
The agent suggests the closest match from your real menu, asks if that's what they meant, and won't add anything you don't sell. Off-menu requests are handled gracefully — either by suggesting a similar item or asking the guest to confirm.
How much will I save vs DoorDash / Uber Eats?
Math depends on your tickets and volume, but the typical 25-30% marketplace cut versus 2.9% + 30¢ Stripe fees on direct orders means you keep roughly $20 more per $100 order. The platform pays for itself fast on direct order volume.
Want to be a launch partner?
We're early. Most of the restaurants on the platform are still in launch mode — we'd rather earn proof than fake it. If you'd be willing to be featured in a case study as Aedan Rose pays back in real numbers, we'd love to talk. Email help@aedanrose.ai.
