Totesi
For stores

The groceries you drive across town for.

Delivery and pickup from Kansas City's independent grocery stores. Store prices, no markup.

Neighborhood markets only. The stores you already shop.

How it works

Real store prices.

We never mark up what is on the shelf.

The brands you actually want.

Not a substitute someone guessed at — the store sends you a photo and you decide.

Pick it up — no delivery fee.

Order from your phone, we'll tell you when it's bagged, and you grab it at the counter. Or have it delivered — you'll see the exact delivery fee before you pay.

You'll see the exact delivery fee before you pay. It depends on how far the store is from you.

Card payments are handled by a secure payment processor. Deliveries are made by a national courier service.

Every store on Totesi is independently owned — like yours.

We built this for the markets the big platforms overlook.

No monthly fee. No commission on your sales. No setup cost.

We photograph and catalog your products, build your online store, provide the device, train your staff, and handle customer support — free.

Your POS stays exactly as it is. Connect it or don't — either way, we don't replace it.

Your EBT terminal stays exactly where it is. We don't touch it.
