For Restaurants
Every order that arrives through a third-party delivery app costs you a commission, and for a small independent restaurant those fees can swallow the profit on the whole ticket. Lavu online ordering is the way out. Ordering and self-service kiosks integrate directly with the Lavu

Every Lavu POS Service Under One Roof
Certified Lavu POS partners and POS experts handling hardware, setup, API based custom development, marketing and everything in between.
Every order that arrives through a third-party delivery app costs you a commission, and for a small independent restaurant those fees can swallow the profit on the whole ticket. Lavu online ordering is the way out. Ordering and self-service kiosks integrate directly with the Lavu POS, with no third-party commission on direct orders, so the guest orders from you and the money stays with you. As a Certified Lavu Partner, Mindshare Consulting sets up Lavu online ordering and kiosks so they actually convert, including menu presentation, order flow into the kitchen, MenuDrive configuration, and a plan for steering regulars off the apps. Done right, your direct channel becomes the most profitable register in the building.
The Real Price of Third Party Dependence
Delivery apps bring discovery, but they charge heavily for it and they keep the customer relationship. The guest who ordered your food last night belongs to the app, not to you. You cannot invite them back, and you pay the commission again the next time they order. Many independents respond by raising app prices, which annoys guests, or by absorbing the fees, which erodes already thin margins.
The answer is not abandoning the marketplaces. It is rebalancing. Treat the apps as a discovery channel, and give every repeat customer an obvious, better path to order directly. Because Lavu's ordering channels are built into the POS rather than bolted on, direct orders flow into the same system as everything else, with one menu to maintain and no commission taken. Setup quality decides whether guests actually use it, and that is where we come in.

Direct Channels Built Into the Platform
Lavu is an iPad-based POS designed for small and independent restaurants, and its self-ordering kiosks and online ordering are native to the system, not third-party bolt-ons. That native design is the practical advantage. Orders land beside your in-house tickets, your menu lives in one place, and no marketplace takes a cut of direct sales. The platform's ordering capabilities are described on Lavu's official site. Our job is turning those capabilities into orders, and pairing them with a website built to convert so the path from hungry to checkout is short.
Your next order should be commission free. Start with the right Lavu POS equipment if kiosks are on the list, keep menus current with Lavu POS management, and bring guests back with the Lavu loyalty program and Lavu SMS marketing. Mindshare Consulting is the restaurant POS marketing agency for independents. Request a free ordering audit today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct orders through Lavu's integrated ordering carry no third-party commission, which is the core economic difference from marketplace apps. Standard card processing still applies, as it does on any sale.
MenuDrive is an online ordering integration available in Lavu's catalog. Whether it fits depends on how you want your ordering experience structured. We assess your operation and configure the option that serves it best.
Yes, and they should. Both integrate directly with the Lavu POS, so kiosk, online, and register orders share one menu and one reporting view. We set them up as a single direct-ordering strategy rather than separate projects.
They do. We configure routing so online and kiosk orders fire to the correct prep stations automatically, with timing rules that keep the kitchen from being surprised by a burst of pickup orders.
Gradually and deliberately. Package inserts, in-store signage, website placement, and loyalty rewards on direct orders all give guests a concrete reason to switch. We build that promotion plan as part of every engagement.
Most independents launch within two to three weeks, depending on menu size and photography. Kiosks are typically configured in the same window so the whole direct channel goes live together.
Yes. Orders placed through Lavu's own online ordering flow directly into the POS with no third party marketplace commission taken per order. You still pay normal card processing and your Lavu subscription, but you are not giving up twenty to thirty percent per order like on delivery apps. Mindshare configures the ordering flow and helps shift customers from apps to your direct channel.
Some restaurant owners reported that after the acquisition their familiar MenuDrive support contacts disappeared and issues like site crashes and card processing failures took longer to resolve. The product still integrates tightly with Lavu, but you may need more self sufficiency on configuration. Mindshare handles MenuDrive setup, menu sync, and troubleshooting directly so you are not dependent on a support queue.
They can, when routing is configured correctly. Lavu online and kiosk orders enter the POS like any other ticket and fire to the prep stations you assign. Problems appear when station routing was never set up properly, so cold line tickets hit the fry printer. Mindshare configures routing per station and tests it under real volume before launch.
