Ressto

Ressto is a direct-ordering platform for restaurants. It suits operators who want pickup and delivery orders across their own digital channels, with POS integration and room to manage multiple locations. Its enduring 0% commission policy is compelling; the key trade-off is paying per restaurant to remove Basic’s tight capacity limits.

Overview

Restaurants can take orders through a website, mobile apps, QR codes, Facebook, Instagram, and kiosks. Ressto also provides delivery management, a branded storefront, booking tools, custom domains, and SEO controls. Loyalty, marketing, delivery, and integrations are included in every plan, rather than charged as add-ons.

Branded apps run on iOS and Android, while ordering also works on the web and tablets. Ressto is a product of Deonde, headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, and says it serves more than 3,000 restaurants across multiple regions. Most US restaurants can be accepting orders within 24 hours of signing up.

Key features

Ordering and operations

Multiple ordering channels give restaurants ways to reach customers beyond a standalone website, while pickup and delivery cover the two main order types. POS integration can help fit ordering into an existing restaurant setup. The included delivery management, loyalty, and marketing tools make Ressto a broader package than a storefront alone, though the specific integrations and delivery-fleet capabilities depend on the plan.

Commission and payments

Ressto charges 0% commission on orders across all plans, forever. That keeps the platform’s pricing separate from a percentage taken from each order. US payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and digital wallets via Stripe.

Pricing

Basic is free forever and requires no credit card. It allows 100 orders per month, 200 menu items, 10 QR codes, one staff account, and one restaurant. That is a useful way for a single-location restaurant to start direct ordering without a subscription, but the order cap can rule it out once volume grows.

Growth costs $39 a month, billed per restaurant per month, with applicable taxes excluded. It removes the order, menu-item, and QR-code limits, includes unlimited staff accounts, and supports up to 20 restaurants. This is the practical upgrade for a growing operator that needs more capacity or staff access, though the per-restaurant billing means costs rise with each restaurant.

Scale costs $99 a month, also billed per restaurant per month before applicable taxes. It includes unlimited orders, menu items, QR codes, and staff accounts, plus unlimited restaurants. Its branded app, loyalty, and delivery-fleet tools make it the fullest option for restaurant groups; smaller operators may not need that breadth.

Enterprise has custom pricing for restaurant groups with 20 or more outlets. Customers can cancel or downgrade at any time. Basic is free, while the paid plans are monthly and charged per restaurant.

Platforms

Ressto supports Android, iOS, and web. Branded apps are available for iOS and Android, and ordering works on web and tablets.

Who it's for

Ressto is a strong fit for restaurants seeking commission-free direct ordering, especially those that want delivery and pickup, POS integration, or a path from one restaurant to multi-location management. Basic suits a low-volume single restaurant; Growth is better when order volume or staff needs exceed Basic’s limits; Scale targets groups that need unlimited locations and its additional app and delivery-fleet tools. Restaurants that cannot operate within Basic’s 100 monthly orders should budget for a paid tier.

Pros and cons

Pro: 0% commission on orders across all plans keeps the model straightforward for restaurants taking direct orders.

Pro: Loyalty, marketing, delivery, and integrations are included in every plan, avoiding separate add-ons for those capabilities.

Pro: Growth supports up to 20 restaurants, and Scale removes the location limit for groups that need to expand.

Con: Basic is limited to 100 monthly orders, one restaurant, and one staff account, so it is a starter tier rather than a fit for busier operations.

Con: Growth and Scale are billed per restaurant, so multi-location groups should account for the accumulating monthly cost.

Verdict

Choose Ressto if you want commission-free restaurant ordering across multiple channels, with delivery, POS integration, and a plan that can scale from one location to an unlimited group. The free Basic plan is a sensible start for low order volume, while Growth and Scale remove its main capacity constraints. Look elsewhere if you need unlimited orders without a paid per-restaurant plan or if Basic’s 100-order ceiling is too restrictive.
