Build ordering
into your product.

Real pickup orders at essentially any restaurant, through one MCP.

Start building Documentation

Layout can order at ~95% of restaurants in the U.S. that support online ordering.

No coverage list to maintain, no merchant to onboard. Layout drives each restaurant's own ordering site, the same one a person would use.

Connect once, order anywhere.

  • Any MCP client

    The same connector people already use in Claude and ChatGPT, driven by your product instead of a chat window.

  • Essentially any restaurant

    Layout drives the restaurant's own ordering site. No menu to sync, no merchant to onboard, no coverage list to check.

  • Priced before it is paid

    The cart is read back from the checkout itself, so the total your user confirms is the total the restaurant charges.

  • One card, then never again

    Your user saves a card once, at sign-up. Every order after that goes through with no payment sheet, no PIN, no Apple Pay prompt, and Layout already knows their regulars.

  • Nothing spent without the person

    Your session builds. Only the person, on the link, adds a card and confirms.

Four parts, one order.

A client id and a secret identify your platform. Shown once, rotatable, revocable. Ordering itself stays on the MCP.

A way to place an order without the person

An ordinary Layout account that happens to have been created by you. Same gates as everyone else, and one account if they later sign up themselves.

None. Your user is yours.

A user-scoped MCP session capped at cart-building. Every money gate refuses it mechanically, and no model can talk it past that.

Search, read menus, build and price a cart
Cannot
Add a card, confirm, spend
Enforced
Mechanically, not by policy
Crosses over
Only the person, on the link

Signed, timestamped, retried with backoff, and logged where you can see it. Scoped to your users, and never carrying card data.
