Our story
Everyone wanted a cut. Nobody wanted to cook.
We Know Restaurants is built by a restaurant owner, for restaurant owners — the tools the big chains run on, at one flat fee, with none of the games. We call the software KeepOS.
Keep the commission. Keep the customers. Keep your restaurant.
Why I built this
I run a restaurant too.
So I know the math. Margins are razor-thin, the shifts are long, and there's a line of companies waiting to take a slice — without ever touching the food.
Ordering platforms want a cut of every order. Delivery apps want a quarter of the check. Reservation sites bill you per seat. And the “easy” website builders just hand you a template and a second job.
I got tired of it. So I built the thing I wished I had.
I called it KeepOS — because everything it does comes down to one thing: you keep what's yours.
The broken math
A tax on your kitchen — paid to people who never cooked.
~$500/mo + 5% per order
Commission ordering platforms
A monthly bill — and a cut of every order, charged to your guest. They never made the food.
Owner.com
up to 25% of the check
Third-party delivery
A quarter of the ticket, just to carry it to the door.
DoorDash, Uber Eats
$1 per cover, every night
Per-cover reservations
A fee for every seat you fill — on tables you booked yourself.
OpenTable, Yelp
Templated or do-it-yourself
Website builders
Build it yourself after a long shift — or pay to look like everyone else.

Restaurant margins are in the single digits. These fees eat what's left.

The spark
The best ordering I'd ever used didn't belong to a place like mine.
It was Starbucks. Dunkin'. McDonald's. Tap the app, apply a promo, watch your points add up, reorder in a second. Effortless. Why should that belong only to billion-dollar chains? Every owner deserves it — so we built it for them.
What we believe
What KeepOS stands for.
Keep the commission.
One flat fee — no cut of every order, no platform fee on your guests. When you grow, the upside is yours, not ours.
Keep your customers.
Their orders, their data, their loyalty — always yours. If you ever leave, you take every one of them with you.
Keep your story.
A site custom-built for your concept and your neighborhood — never a template, never someone else's brand on top of yours.
Keep it running.
We run your online front-of-house. New menu, new hours, a holiday special? Send a text — it's done overnight.
Who you work with
You'll never be customer #4,000.
I've run the line and I've spent 20 years in digital marketing for some of the country's biggest brands. Most restaurant-web people are one or the other. I'm both.
We're a small studio on purpose. You work with us directly — not a salesperson, not a ticket queue — the kind of attention a platform with ten thousand clients can't give you.
