FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about pricing, setup, and support.
How much does MicroSky Food cost?
Three plans: Standard ($250/month + 5% commission on net sales), Growth ($500/month + 7% commission, includes a branded native iOS app, website redesign, and monthly organic SEO targeting 5 keywords), and Growth Plus ($999/month + 7% commission, includes everything in Growth plus email marketing campaigns, SMS marketing campaigns, push notifications across all channels, and 10 keywords per month of organic SEO). A $500 one-time hardware package includes a mini PC print server and receipt printer. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
What happens after the 30-day free trial?
If you love it, your Stripe subscription continues at your chosen plan — Standard ($250/month), Growth ($500/month), or Growth Plus ($999/month). If it's not for you, cancel during the trial — there's no long-term contract and no cancellation fee.
Do I need special hardware or a new POS?
No expensive POS required. A $500 one-time hardware package includes a mini PC print server and a receipt printer. The admin backend runs in any web browser on the devices you already have — a tablet, laptop, or the computer in your office. Tablets can also be provided if needed.
How long does setup take?
The guided onboarding wizard takes most restaurants through profile, menu, and billing setup in under an hour. The MicroSky team is available by phone if you'd like help along the way.
Can I offer both delivery and pickup?
Yes. You can enable pickup, delivery, or both — with a configurable delivery radius and fees (for example, free delivery within 4 miles). Ordering automatically opens and closes with your business hours.
Who supports the platform?
MicroSky Managed Services — a New York IT provider with 20+ years of experience and 1500+ clients. We handle hosting, updates, security, and real human support at 718-672-2177.
Is the storefront SEO optimized?
Yes — fully. Every page includes per-page meta titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, JSON-LD structured data (Organization, WebSite, Restaurant, FAQ), XML sitemaps, robots.txt, and semantic HTML headings. Pages are static-generated with edge delivery for sub-second load times, so Core Web Vitals are in the green and Google rewards your site with higher rankings.
What conversion rates can I expect?
Our storefronts are engineered for 30–50% order conversion rates — meaning 30–50% of visitors who land on your ordering page complete an order. That's far above the industry average of 15–20%. We achieve this through real-time cart with running subtotal, low-friction checkout, mobile-first design, and customer accounts with saved orders for one-click reordering.
Can I use my own credit card processor?
Yes. You have three options: bring your own Stripe token (connect your existing Stripe account directly), bring your own Authorize.net account (we integrate it seamlessly), or sign up for a merchant account with our provider, Electronic Payments — we'll set you up with competitive rates and full integration. We'll walk you through whichever option you choose during onboarding.
