Hoop Interactive builds branded ordering apps, food delivery platforms and loyalty programmes for restaurants, cloud kitchens and delivery startups. Own your ordering channel, keep your customer data and cut what you pay per order, with the local marketing to move regulars onto your app.
Third-party marketplaces are great for discovery, but every repeat order through them costs commission, and the customer’s details, history and loyalty belong to the platform. A direct channel for your regulars changes that.
Including your most loyal regulars who would happily order direct.
You can’t email, reward or win back people you don’t know.
Listed next to competitors, sorted by the platform’s rules.
Discounts and fees you don’t fully control.
Keep marketplaces for discovery, and build a direct app and loyalty programme for everyone who comes back.
Two very different products. Knowing which you need sets the scope, budget and timeline.
Your menu, your brand, your customers, for one restaurant or a multi-location group. From $15,000 · 8–12 weeks.
A marketplace connecting restaurants, customers and drivers in your city or niche. From $35,000 · 14–20 weeks.
From a single café’s ordering app to a city-wide delivery marketplace.
Branded apps for pickup, delivery and pre-orders.
Multi-restaurant marketplaces with payouts and dispatch.
Multiple virtual brands from one kitchen, one dashboard.
Points, tiers and referrals, from the team behind our Loyalty Rewards App.
Table ordering, pay-at-table and booking for dine-in.
Orders to Toast, Square or Clover and kitchen display screens.
Scheduled orders, meal plans and corporate catering portals.
Recipes, cookbooks and creator content, like our own LaGrub.
The systems behind a food app that kitchens love and customers reorder from.
Ordering made easy. Categories, sizes, add-ons, combos, dietary tags and item availability that syncs with stock.
Fast checkout. Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, tips, scheduled orders and saved favourites.
No retyping. Orders flow into your POS and kitchen display, with prep times that update customer ETAs.
Your drivers or partners. Own-driver dispatch with live tracking, or delivery-as-a-service partners where they operate.
Bringing them back. Points, offers, birthday rewards and win-back campaigns based on order history.
Filling the app. Google Business Profile ordering links, local SEO, social and in-store prompts to switch regulars.
We turned an Instagram food creator with 280K+ followers into a brand, shipping the LaGrub recipe app alongside website, content and social growth across four platforms. LaGrub is now our own culinary product, live on web and mobile, so we know what keeps food audiences coming back.

To Her Focus had 280K+ Instagram followers but limited monetization. We built a custom website, launched YouTube, and shipped the LaGrub recipe app — transforming a single-platform influencer into a multi-channel brand.

A branded ordering app for one restaurant or group starts from $15,000. A multi-restaurant food delivery platform with customer, restaurant, driver and admin apps starts from $35,000. A two-week blueprint from $3,000 gives you a fixed quote first. Payment, maps and SMS fees are billed to your own accounts.
Marketplaces bring new customers but charge commission on every order and keep the customer relationship. A direct ordering app lets regulars order from you, keeps their data and loyalty with you, and lowers your cost per order. Most restaurants use both: marketplaces for discovery, their own app for repeat customers.
No. Your app can dispatch orders to your own drivers, to delivery-as-a-service partners such as DoorDash Drive or Uber Direct where available, or support pickup only. We design dispatch around how you operate.
Usually, yes. We integrate with POS systems that offer APIs, such as Toast, Square and Clover, so orders go straight to the kitchen and menus stay in sync. We confirm your POS options in the blueprint.
A restaurant app sells one brand’s menu. A food delivery platform is a marketplace connecting many restaurants with customers and drivers, with commissions, restaurant onboarding and payouts. They need different features and budgets, so we start by agreeing which you’re building.
Yes. Points, tiers, rewards, referral codes and birthday offers built into the app. We also run our own Loyalty Rewards App on Shopify, so loyalty mechanics are something we know well.
A single-restaurant ordering app usually takes 8 to 12 weeks. A multi-restaurant delivery platform takes 14 to 20 weeks for a first city.
Yes. Our marketing team handles local SEO, Google Business Profile, social media, paid ads and app store optimization to move regulars from marketplaces to your app.
Yes. LaGrub, our own culinary platform for recipes, cookbooks and creator storytelling, runs on web and mobile, and we built a recipe app for the creator brand To Her Focus.
