Restaurant mobile app features for Latino restaurants
What your regulars need from an app: your menu in their language, a quick way to order and a reason to come back.
Your name, not an app's
Regulars order from an app with your name and logo, not from a list of your competitors.
A photo menu in two languages
The same menu as your counter, with photos, in Spanish or English, synced with your POS.
Family packs and party trays
Whole chickens, family meals and trays by the dozen, with notes for the kitchen.
Rewards for weekly regulars
Points and automatic rewards for the customers who come every week.
Offers by text, in Spanish
Send a coupon by text before a slow night, in the language your customers read.
Ready when they arrive
App orders go straight to your kitchen, so pickup orders are ready when customers walk in.
A restaurant app connected to your whole restaurant
The app isn't one more tablet on the counter. It runs on the same menu, POS and kitchen as everything else.
Your own app vs delivery apps
A delivery app is a marketplace. Your own app is a direct line to the customers who already order from you.

Why a branded app works for Latino restaurants
Regulars who order through delivery apps cost you commission every week. Truvana Tech sets up ordering apps, websites and POS for small restaurants in DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia.
Regulars
Built for the customers who come every week
The family that orders pupusas every Friday already knows what it wants. Your app lets them order ahead, pick up without waiting in line and earn rewards, with no commission on the order.
- Points and automatic rewards
- Pickup, delivery or dine-in
Your list
Your customers, not the app's
Every app order adds to a customer list that belongs to your restaurant. Use it to send a coupon in Spanish on a slow night, instead of paying an app to show you to your own regulars.
- Customer data belongs to you
- Text coupons in Spanish
Local setup
Set up with your team, in Spanish
We load your menu with its photos and its Spanish and English names, connect the app to your POS and kitchen, and show your team where app orders appear. When you need a change, a local team answers.
- Setup in English or Spanish
- A local team after launch

What is a restaurant mobile app?
A restaurant mobile app is an ordering app with your restaurant's name and logo, where customers order pickup, delivery or dine-in from your menu. It's not a delivery app or a management app for your staff.
How much does a restaurant app cost?
A restaurant app costs what your route charges: a developer's project price, a builder's monthly fee or a delivery app's commission. Get each cost in writing.
| Route | Example | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| A developer builds a custom app | Priced by the project | Upkeep, updates and who owns the code |
| A restaurant app builder | ChowNow: $229 to $449 per month, $119 to $499 to set up, and a $99 yearly Apple developer fee for branded apps | 2.95% + 29¢ per transaction on top |
| A delivery app | DoorDash: 15%, 25% or 30% of each delivery order | The commission on every order |
| Truvana Tech | On your written quote | No commission per order, and no equipment lease |
Do you need an app or a website?
Start with a website that takes orders: anyone who searches your name can order from it right away. An app adds the most for regulars who order every week.
With us, both run on one restaurant POS, along with:
- Online ordering with no commission
- AI phone answering for callers
- A self-order kiosk at the counter
- Tableside ordering in the dining room
Restaurant app questions owners ask
Is a restaurant app worth it?
It is if you have regulars who order often. Orders through your own app have no commission, while delivery apps can take about 30% of each order, as many DC restaurants found after the city's 15% cap expired in 2023 (DCist). If most of your orders come from first-time customers, a website that takes orders may be enough to start.
Can I get a restaurant app without a developer?
Yes. App builders and POS companies set up branded ordering apps with no coding. We set up yours with your menu, name and logo, connected to your POS and kitchen, in English or Spanish.
What features should a restaurant app have?
A photo menu in your customers' languages, pickup and delivery, orders that go straight to the kitchen and a way to reward regulars, like a loyalty program. Also check who owns the customer list and whether there is a commission per order.
Is there a free restaurant app?
Delivery apps like DoorDash cost nothing to join but take a commission: DoorDash charges 15%, 25% or 30% of each delivery order's subtotal (DoorDash, checked November 11, 2026). A branded app always costs something: a developer, a monthly fee or card fees. Ours comes with the restaurant POS at no extra cost and takes no commission per order; you pay the card fees on your written quote.
Will my delivery app orders still come in?
Yes. Orders from delivery apps come into the same POS and print in your kitchen, next to the orders from your own app. Use the delivery apps to reach new customers and your app for regulars.
