Do you run a patisserie?
An online ordering site for your patisserie
On a €30 ticket a platform takes €3.60. Here it takes nothing.
€97 a month, free setup. No lock-in, no commission.
Six details, and your area is open. Nothing is charged until you pay the set-up fee.
A birthday cake is ordered for a date, not for a time slot. And the customer never asks how long it takes, he asks whether you can have it ready for Saturday.
What commission costs, in your shop
A hundred orders,
average order €30
For a lot of businesses in your trade, that is an ordinary month. At the rate Uber Eats publishes when you deliver yourself, the lowest on the Belgian market, here is how it works out.
On a platform
€360
of commission a month, at 12% on €3,000 of sales
With Food It Be
€97
of subscription a month, whatever your volume
That is €3,156 staying with you over a year. Are your figures different? Run the numbers with yours.
Nothing forces you off Takeaway or Uber Eats. You can keep the platform and your own site: the platform brings in new customers, your site takes back the regulars, the ones who order every week and cost you the most in commission.
The date comes first
The customer picks his pickup slot inside your opening hours, up to fifteen days ahead. Whatever you cannot take on, you mark sold out, and he stops seeing it.
The details that count
Number of portions, the message on the plaque, allergens to keep away from. It all arrives in writing, and nothing gets lost between the shop and the workroom.
A deposit, if you want one
A last minute cancellation is expensive on a cake made to order. You decide, service mode by service mode, whether online payment is required or whether the customer settles when he collects.
No lock-in
Try it yourself,
with nothing to install
A demo pizzeria is waiting for you, already filled in, with several years of orders behind it. You walk into it as if it were your own. Nothing to install, nothing to prepare, and nobody chases you afterwards.

What happens next
Six details,
and we type up your menu
-
Your area opens
The name of your business, your company number, your name, your email, your phone. Under a minute, and nothing is charged.
-
You pay your first month
From your area, by Bancontact, card or bank transfer. The setup itself is not charged to you. That payment is what starts your site being built.
-
You send us a photo of your menu
We type it up for you, however long it is. You check it and correct it before anything goes live.
-
Your site opens in your name
On your own .be domain. If you ever leave, you keep it.
Once you have paid, your site is already standing. Three things are left to set: your online payment account, the mailbox on your domain, and your menu, which we key in. The rest happens on its own.
What you can set
Fitted to the way
you actually work
- Pickup on a slot, up to fifteen days ahead
- Sold out the moment your day is full
- The plaque message as a note, the number of portions as a size
- Online payment required, or payment on collection, mode by mode
Those settings are the ones for your trade. Your dashboard holds more than a hundred, across fifteen screens: the menu and its options, opening hours, delivery, promotions, loyalty, your pages, your staff. You change them yourself, without asking anyone, and the site follows straight away.
What is not there
Two gaps,
said before you sign
Ordering software always promises everything. Here is what this one does not do yet for your trade, and what does the same job in the meantime. Better read here than on a Saturday at seven.
No lead time per product
The preparation time is the one for your shop, not the one for the cake. Pieces that need three days sell as an advance order, up to fifteen days out, and the description says so.
No selling by quotation
A tiered cake still gets priced on the phone. To sell it online it needs a price and a size, like the rest of the menu.
The price, in full
It is all written down,
nothing gets added later
The setup
Free. It covers typing up your menu, your .be domain name and going live. You pay nothing to start.
The subscription
€97 excluding VAT a month, whatever your order volume. No commission on your sales.
The payment fees
They go to your payment provider, not to us. With Mollie, in Belgium: €0.39 per Bancontact payment, €0.25 + 1.80% on a European consumer card.
The term
There is none. You stop from your area whenever you like, and your site stays online until the end of the month already paid for.
The first month is a month like any other: €97 excluding VAT, or €117.37 including VAT. See the pricing in detail.
Food It Be is a brand of ZIXAR, in Carnières, Belgium. Your data stays in Europe.
The questions we get
Three straight answers
Some pieces need three days, others are ready the same day.
Not product by product: the preparation time is the one set for your business, and the slots follow from it. For the pieces that need three days, the usual way is to sell them as an order placed ahead, up to fifteen days, and to say so in the description. It is a real limit, and we would rather tell you before you sign than after.
How do I handle a quotation for a tiered cake?
Selling on a quotation is not in the product. So a tiered cake is dealt with the way you deal with it today, over the phone, and the site takes care of everything else. If you want to sell it online, it needs a price and a size.
The photos of my cakes matter. What quality do they keep?
Images are converted automatically into a light format and shown large. You can replace them yourself, whenever you like, from your own screen.
No lock-in
