Appetier vs Ressto

Appetier gives restaurants a console for direct online ordering, branded apps, loyalty, marketing, menu management, and POS sync. Customers can order through a restaurant website or app; ordering supports modifiers, upsells, coupons, rewards, saved cards, Apple Pay, and order tracking. Restaurants can start menu setup from their website or a menu photo, which Appetier uses to draft the menu. Native iOS and Android apps can carry the restaurant's logo and include push notifications and reorders. Its integration catalog lists POS systems including Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Revel, NCR/Aloha, Micros, SpotOn, PAR Brink, and SkyTab. The Sous assistant can read menu photos, draft missing item descriptions, and reply to Google reviews; prices do not change unless the restaurant changes them. Appetier says it is PCI compliant under SAQ A, does not receive or store raw card numbers, and uses PCI DSS Level 1 payment partners. Growth is free with a 5% direct-order fee capped at $199 per location/month; Essential is $2,388/year per location, and Enterprise is $499 a month per location.
