KitchenSpot lists restaurants in Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando and Miami, not West Palm Beach. The platform is a pickup-only ordering service that imports restaurant data from OpenStreetMap and reads menus from each restaurant's own website or from menu photos. Diners pay no service fee on pickup orders, and the restaurant receives payment through Stripe Connect or Square with KitchenSpot taking $1 per completed order as an application fee (source: KitchenSpot product facts). Restaurants are imported from OpenStreetMap; menus are read from restaurants' own websites or from menu photos (source: KitchenSpot product facts). Pickup orders are paid to the restaurant through Stripe Connect or Square, with KitchenSpot taking $1 per order as an application fee (source: KitchenSpot product facts). West Palm Beach is not a launch city, so diners there can browse the nearest covered market at New in Miami or visit the KitchenSpot homepage for the full list of Florida cities. A diner in West Palm Beach cannot yet place a pickup order through KitchenSpot, but diners in the four launch cities can browse menus, read reviews marked Verified, and complete a pickup order with no service fee charged to them. The Verified badge appears when a diner has a paid KitchenSpot pickup order at that restaurant from the last 90 days or uploads a receipt photo that KitchenSpot approves. The city rank for a restaurant or dish uses its average rating pulled toward 3.6 by the weight of 5 ratings, so one or two ratings cannot put a place on top. Ranks are saved once a day. A diner in Tampa, for example, can search for a specific dish, compare Verified reviews, and place a pickup order that arrives at the restaurant's alert number as a text message. When a paid pickup order arrives, KitchenSpot texts the restaurant's alert number, and if nobody accepts it within 3 minutes KitchenSpot calls the restaurant. The diner gets a text when the order is ready (source: KitchenSpot product facts). Diners pay no service fee on pickup orders. The restaurant pays the $1 per order, KitchenSpot keeps it only on completed orders, and a cancelled or refunded order refunds the $1 too (source: KitchenSpot product facts). The $1 fee is the application fee that covers the payment processing and the platform infrastructure for a single completed pickup transaction. Square and Clover connect directly, so orders and payments land in the restaurant's own account. Square takes the $1 fee on each payment, and Clover invoices it monthly to a card on file. Toast, Lightspeed Restaurant (K-Series), SeasonX and the ordering hubs Deliverect, Chowly, Otter and ItsaCheckmate are request-only for now, and KitchenSpot records the restaurant's choice while the restaurant takes orders on the KitchenSpot Orders screen until a connection is made. A restaurant with no POS, or one that is not listed, takes pickup orders on the KitchenSpot Orders screen and is paid through Stripe on its own account. Kitchen tickets can print on a Star printer that supports Star CloudPRNT; other printer types are not supported. A restaurant owner in any Florida city proves ownership with any one of: a code sent by text to the restaurant's phone number, an email at the restaurant's own website domain, or a Florida business license or food service license (source: KitchenSpot product facts). For a restaurant imported from OpenStreetMap, a phone code or a domain email verifies the owner straight away. A listing an owner creates themselves goes live only after a KitchenSpot admin approves it. Owners can post updates, deals, events and new dishes, and schedule, pin or hide them. A free listing can publish 4 posts a month; Owner Pro, the Growth plan and the Premium plan have no limit. Owner Pro costs $49 a month. It adds daily charts, dish trends and each dish's rank in its city, and it removes the limit on posts (source: KitchenSpot product facts). Owners get a weekly and a monthly email report about their listing, covering diners sent their way, page views, top dish and new reviews. KitchenSpot drafts a newsletter for each city every Monday. Owners also receive a share kit with QR codes for the window and the tables, a website badge and a review link. The owner dashboard hides audience breakdowns for any group of fewer than 5 diners, and owners can export their data as CSV. For restaurants that want to learn more about the platform, the For restaurants page explains the value of joining KitchenSpot, and the Insights library collects articles for restaurant owners. Without a plan a restaurant can buy ads by the day, from $15 a day, and a Promoted dish costs $5 a day (source: KitchenSpot product facts). The Starter ad plan costs $99 a month and gives 7 days of Spotlight each month and a campaign results report. It does not include Owner Pro. The Growth ad plan costs $249 a month and gives 14 days of Spotlight each month, 1 Promoted dish all month, 1 newsletter feature a quarter, a campaign results report and Owner Pro. The Premium ad plan costs $499 a month and gives Spotlight all month, 2 Promoted dishes all month, 1 newsletter feature a month, deal boost notifications, 1 KitchenSpot social post a month, a campaign results report and Owner Pro. A monthly plan saves about 30% compared with buying the same ads one at a time. Ads are bought by the day or through a monthly plan. Cost-per-click billing is not switched on. Paid placements in search are always labelled as sponsored and come with a 'Why am I seeing this?' explanation. There is at most one sponsored result for every six organic results (source: KitchenSpot product facts). These advertising options apply to restaurants in the four launch cities, not to West Palm Beach, which is not yet on the map.
