100%

You own the Stripe account, the domain, and every customer

Reality check: A restaurant doing $30k/month in online orders through DoorDash Storefront at 6% is paying $1,800/month in commissions — $21,600/year — to a platform they don't own.

.about

The best restaurant tech is the kind guests never notice.

Course is a software and design studio run by Young Ha, based in Clive, Iowa. We build direct online ordering systems for local restaurants — clean, fast, and fully branded to your restaurant.

Every restaurant gets a fork of our Next.js platform, deployed on Vercel under your own domain. Payments go straight to your Stripe account. Orders land on a real-time kitchen display running on a tablet in your kitchen. No third party in the middle.

.how it works

From signed to live in two weeks

01

Onboard

We set up your Stripe account, map your full menu, and claim your domain. You own everything — Stripe, the domain, the customer relationship.

02

Build

We configure our platform for your brand, colors, and menu. Custom design, real performance. No white-label wrapper.

03

Launch

We push live on Vercel, test every edge case, and train your staff on the kitchen dashboard. Usually live in under two weeks.

04

Support

A monthly retainer covers hosting, menu updates, and platform improvements. We handle the tech — you handle the food.
