How the features compare
Feature
Appetier
UpMenu
Direct ordering
Ordering on your own domain and branded apps, with catering. No commission on direct orders and no fee on the guest's bill. Cards run on Appetier Pay at 2.9% + 30¢ online, or on any PCI compliant processor you keep. Marketplace orders are never charged, and Uber Direct couriers deliver with no markup.[1][9][10]
Website and local SEO
Guests find you on Google and land on your checkout. Location pages and Google Business updates publish on a schedule, and a special you enter once shows on your site and on Google. A weekly check keeps Apple Maps, Yelp, and Facebook matched. Sous asks guests for a Google review after a direct order and replies to reviews, while low ratings go to you.[3][11]
A website builder with SEO tools is a paid module. UpMenu's pricing page lists $1 a month and its builder page lists from $49, so confirm which applies.[6]
Loyalty and CRM
You keep your guests' contact details and order history. Loyalty and gift cards sit inside checkout, and winback and birthday campaigns run inside limits you set. Sous also drafts offers for your slow hours and for holidays. Each location includes 1,500 marketing texts and 10,000 marketing emails a month.[1][4]
Loyalty is $19 a month, and Marketing Tools are $9 a month plus $0.08 a text and $0.02 an email.[6]
POS sync
Run the counter on tablets you bring. Appetier POS and the self-order kiosk come with Growth. Keep your own POS instead and prices, hours, and sold-out items update from it on your site and apps. Appetier Pay takes cards in person on readers bought from Appetier, or you keep your provider's readers if they connect. Appetier also sells kiosk and kitchen display hardware at cost, and card readers.[2]
