What goes into a Grubhub clone built with Fabricate
A Grubhub clone is an ordering site with many menus: customers pick a restaurant, fill a cart and choose pickup or delivery. Built with Fabricate, it is one web app made from your description, with menus, a kitchen side and an admin page for you, sharing one database.
Menus and orders: each restaurant has sections, dishes, options and opening hours. Customers order for pickup or for delivery within your zones, and the kitchen screen shows each new order, which staff move from accepted to ready.
Money: On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. One payment per order reaches that account, which suits restaurants you own or run. Paying several restaurants their share of each order is not built in.
What is not built in: live delivery maps, paying restaurants or drivers their share, text messages, notifications about new orders and phone apps from the App Store or Google Play. Customers order in their phone's browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do payments work?
- On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. Each order is paid into that account. Fabricate takes no share of what you are paid; Stripe charges its own card fees.
- Can I list other people's restaurants?
- Each restaurant can have its own menu and kitchen sign-in, but card payments reach only your own Stripe account, so paying each restaurant its share is not built in. It suits restaurants you own, or ones that bill you and are paid by you.
- Can customers track the delivery?
- By status, yes: received, ready, out for delivery and delivered. A live map and the driver's position are not built in.
- Will the kitchen know when an order comes in?
- Yes, on the kitchen screen. Ask for live updates and new messages and posts appear on open screens without a refresh, over a connection to the app's own server. Text messages, and notifications about a new order on a phone, are not built in.
- Does it work on phones?
- Yes, in the phone's browser. It is a web app: it opens from its link in any phone or computer browser, and anyone can add it to their home screen from the browser. It is not an App Store or Google Play app. Published as a phone app on Pro and Max, it can remind each person on their own phone at a time they set; notifications about new activity, such as a new message, are not built in.
- Is it legal to build a Grubhub clone?
- Building an app that works in a similar way is common, but do not use Grubhub's name, logo, design or content. Fabricate writes your app's code from your description and does not copy Grubhub's code. Pick a name of your own, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure.
