Kin Studios / Apps and websites / San Antonio
You do good work. Your regulars should have your app.
We build the app your regulars use, and the website that goes with it. Order ahead, a loyalty card, live stock, tickets and push notifications, in your brand, on your own App Store listing. Every price is on this site.
Who you are hiring
A small team, not an agency
A website gets found. An app gets opened. Your best customers are the ones who already know you, and an icon on their home screen puts you one tap away every day, with a notification when you have something to tell them.
You already did the hard part. You built the business, kept the doors open, put in the years. Kin Studios builds the app your regulars use and the website that goes with it, and we keep both working after they launch.

The first four are demos with sample data: payments, orders and stock are simulated, and none is a live client app. The fifth is our own app. All five are custom builds. Kin App and Kin App Pro are the one-location versions of the same ideas.
App pricing
Prices posted, website included
A setup fee, then a monthly price. The app goes on your own App Store listing, so it stays yours. After the first 12 months you can cancel any time and we hand over your data. You pay Apple $99 a year for the developer account, and card fees go to your payment processor.

The website that goes with it
Included with every app
Every app needs a web page: for the App Store listing, for ordering from a browser, and for Google. Both app plans include a Core website that we host.
No app yet, or not the right fit? A website on its own is still $79 a month with hosting and edits included, or $1,950 to own it outright.
How it works
Four steps, no surprises
01
The call
You tell us what your regulars do when they come in. We tell you which plan that is, even when it is the cheaper one.
02
Pick your plan
A setup fee, then a monthly price with hosting, updates and edits included. The website comes with it.
03
The build
We build it in your brand with your real menu or catalog. You hold it on your own phone before anyone else sees it.
04
Live on the App Store
It goes up on your own Apple account, Apple reviews it, and we look after it every month after that, including each new iOS release.
From the blog
App or website first? A rule for restaurants, coffee shops and shops
A website gets found and an app gets opened. Which one a local business needs first depends on how often its customers come back.

If your regulars are not coming back, or the site is not bringing you work, that is a fixable problem.
Tell us the business, what you have already, and what you want someone to do when they land on the page. We will tell you which plan that actually is.
