Overview
Craver provides an affordable, subscription-based platform that lets restaurants create custom-branded mobile apps for ordering. The app works by connecting directly to a restaurant’s POS system and handling orders for pickup, delivery, and curbside, with features like loyalty programs, push notifications, and analytics. Unlike third-party delivery services, Craver charges a flat fee per location and avoids commission-based models, helping small restaurants compete with larger chains. The goal is to give local eateries the technology they need to attract and retain customers, improve ordering efficiency, and grow lifetime customer value.
