You cook. Your customers order. Everything else is handled.
*Swahili: taste. (It's an instruction.)
Onja is commerce in a box for solo caterers, pop-ups, and small restaurants who never got an ordering system. Connect your accounts once. Get a real menu page, real checkout, and catering deposits — with your Google listing rolling out next.
Five things you'd otherwise have to duct-tape together.
Each one exists as its own product already. Onja is the one place they're wired to work together, priced for one person running a kitchen.
An ordering page that actually takes money
A hosted menu and checkout page with card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay built in through Stripe. Customers order and pay in one flow — no phone tag, no Venmo screenshots.
Pickup scheduling, fees, and catering deposits
Set pickup windows and a pickup or delivery fee. For catering, take a deposit up front instead of chasing a check the week of the event.
Your Google listing, linked — rolling out
Most solo operators have a Google Business Profile with no working website link. We're rolling this out now: Onja will put your ordering page there and ship a review QR kit for the counter or the last box in every order.
Social posting of what you upload — rolling out
Upload your own photos and videos. Once this rolls out, Onja will schedule them out across your channels on a rhythm you set.
We won't edit your content — see belowYour books, read to you every morning
One daily brief tells you what happened: orders taken, money collected, deposits taken, and exactly which balances are still outstanding and from whom. Your orders board flags what needs attention — a balance due, one that's gone stale — so you're not digging through five apps to find it.
We'll post what you send. No editing.
No "content strategy" upsell, no team quietly reshooting your dish because it didn't test well. Once social posting rolls out, what you upload is what goes out — your food, your voice, your kitchen. If you want polished content, that's a different product. This one just tells the truth about your cooking, on schedule.
Pick a tier. Cancel anytime.
No setup fee. You own everything underneath it — your Stripe account, your Google listing, your domain. Onja sits on top; it doesn't lock you in.
For testing the water. Pay only when you sell.

Onja is self-serve on purpose — most operators are live in an afternoon. But if you'd rather hand it off, Ni Biashara, the Dallas studio behind Onja, does setups directly. It starts with a $100 working session: we go through your operation — menu, prices, your Google listing, how orders actually reach you — and give you a straight recommendation, even if the recommendation is "you don't need us."
Want the full build-out after that? Flat $1,000, or a 5%-of-sales deal — your pick. We set up your shop on Onja end to end and hand you the keys. That's how M&M African Kitchen in Dallas got online — same stack, live and taking orders.
Book a setup sessionBuilt for the operator, not the enterprise.
Home caterers
Running orders through DMs and group chats. You need one link that takes a deposit and a real order, not another spreadsheet.
Pop-ups
Different location every week, same chaos every week. A menu page you can stand up in minutes travels with you.
Small restaurants
One or two locations, no dev team, no budget for a $300/month all-in-one system you'll use 10% of.
If you're coming off GloriaFood or Castiron and looking for what's next, this is built for exactly that move.

Onja is in early access. We're inviting operators in small batches so the ordering flow and checkout stay solid before we open the doors wider. Tell us about your kitchen and we'll reach out.
