Documentation
Layout places real orders at almost any restaurant, cafe or coffee shop, using the restaurant's own ordering site. Developers build it into their apps. Each person keeps one Layout account that holds their card, their limits and the apps they have let order for them, and nothing is charged until they say yes.
Building on Layout
Find places, read live menus, build a priced cart and confirm it once the person agrees, over REST or MCP. The reference, the console and your keys are at developer.layout.link.
