Crave provides a complete toolkit for building food ordering storefronts — a CLI to scaffold projects, a TypeScript SDK for frontend apps, prebuilt UI components, and a REST API for any platform. These docs cover everything from your first quickstart to production deployment. ## Start in 5 minutes The fastest path is to scaffold a storefront, add your Crave credentials, and run it locally. ```bash npm theme={null} npx craveup init cd crave-storefront npm run dev ``` ```bash pnpm theme={null} pnpm dlx craveup init cd crave-storefront pnpm dev ``` ```bash yarn theme={null} yarn dlx craveup init cd crave-storefront yarn dev ``` Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000), then use the generated `.env.local` to add your API key and location ID from the [Crave Dashboard](https://craveup.com/login). Already have an app? Skip the scaffold and install `@craveup/storefront-sdk` directly. ## Running? Read this next Learn the CLI flags, templates, and generated project structure. Connect your UI to menus, carts, checkout, and analytics with typed helpers. Call Crave endpoints from any platform using standard HTTP requests. ## Quickstarts & Tutorials Explore our end-to-end tutorials and getting started guides for different application stacks. Build a storefront with Next.js 15 App Router and the Crave SDK. Get started with React + Vite and the Crave SDK. Build a storefront with plain JavaScript and the REST API. Create a mobile ordering app with Expo and the Crave SDK. ## UI Components Crave's prebuilt UI components give you a fully-functional ordering experience in minutes — menus, carts, checkout, and fulfillment out of the box. Browse all available components and learn how they work together. The TypeScript SDK that powers the components and data fetching. ## SDK & API Reference Dig into our SDK reference documentation and REST API endpoints. Everything you need to integrate Crave into any application. API overview, authentication, endpoints, and response formats. Merchants, locations, menus, carts, and the ordering lifecycle. ## Explore by feature Crave supports the full ordering lifecycle. Pick a feature to dive deep. Display categories, products, and modifiers. Support multiple menus with scheduled availability. Manage the cart lifecycle — add items, apply modifiers, handle discounts, and submit orders. Accept payments with Stripe Connect. Handle payment intents, test cards, and error recovery. Configure takeout, delivery, table-side ordering, and room service for your locations. Track funnel events across the ordering flow and measure conversion rates. Receive real-time notifications for order lifecycle events like creation, confirmation, and completion. ## Explore by framework Server-side rendering with the App Router. Fetch menus on the server, manage carts on the client. Client-side React with Vite. Build a custom SPA storefront with the SDK. No framework required. Call the REST API directly from plain JavaScript. Build native mobile ordering apps with Expo and the Crave SDK. ## Beyond the basics Customize colors, fonts, and component styles to match your restaurant's brand. Use test mode, mock data, and example test suites to validate your integration. Deploy to Vercel, Netlify, Docker, or custom hosting with production best practices. Handle every error the API can return with status codes, retry strategies, and user messages. ## Community Join our Discord server to chat with the team and other developers.
