POS + GROWTH OS

Your POS isn't your growth engine.

Toast and Square sell you a terminal, then nickel-and-dime every growth tool as a paid add-on. KitchenRush works alongside your POS and gives you online ordering, marketing, loyalty, KDS, and CRM — the $249 Growth plan covers everything most restaurants need (multi-location reporting is on Pro, $449). 5% processing on card-not-present orders only — no per-transaction fee on dine-in.

Built for independent operators

The pieces work better when they work together.

A connected growth rhythm for pos + growth os, shaped around the day-to-day work of a restaurant.

01

Stop paying for growth twice

Toast and Square charge for online ordering, loyalty, marketing, and email separately. KitchenRush bundles all of it into the $249 Growth plan (plans from $99/mo) — works with the POS you already have.

Online orders route straight to your kitchen

02

Branded ordering site + native mobile app. Orders flow into KitchenRush KDS or to your existing POS — no manual entry, no missed tickets, no DoorDash 30% bite.

Real-time KDS and prep timers

03

Replace paper tickets and POS-bundled KDS upcharges. Smart routing, station-level controls, prep timers, and order pacing — included.

One CRM across every channel

04

Every guest, every order — dine-in, online, loyalty — unified in one customer profile. Segment top spenders, win back lapsed regulars, run targeted campaigns.

Marketing on autopilot

05

Email, SMS, social posts, AI content, holiday campaigns. The work three separate vendors charge $300+/mo for — included in the $249 Growth plan.

Multi-location reporting from day one

06

Run 1 store or 50 from the same dashboard. Centralized menus, cross-store sales reporting, location-level marketing — no enterprise pricing tier required.

One connected operating rhythm

Every useful signal should lead to a clear next move.

Connected workflow

  2. 02Square for Restaurants: bundled fees + Square Marketing + Square Loyalty add separately
  3. 03Both lock you into 36-month contracts on the entry tier — KitchenRush is month-to-month
  4. 04Both keep your customer data behind their CRM — KitchenRush exports to CSV anytime
