In their own words
CloudWaitress
CloudWaitress is an online ordering system for restaurants that supports pickup, delivery, dine-in ordering, and reservations. Restaurants can take orders through a website or app, create an ordering website on a custom domain with a free SSL certificate, and manage orders in a web admin interface. Automated receipt printing is supported through Windows, Android, or Linux devices; the pricing FAQ specifies printers connected to Windows 7 or later or a Linux device. Payment integrations include Stripe, PayPal, CardConnect, POLi Pay, Bambora APAC, PayGate, iPay88, and Bancontact. A JSON REST API supports automation and custom integrations. The free plan allows 100 combined orders and bookings per month; once the cap is reached, new orders and bookings stop while the website stays active. Standard costs $39 a month per store and includes unlimited orders and bookings plus five staff accounts. Enterprise is listed at $299 a month with unlimited orders and bookings, unlimited staff accounts, and high priority support. CloudWaitress says support is available seven days a week, with responses under 12 hours.
Sauce
Sauce is a first-party restaurant ordering and delivery platform for local restaurants and chains that want branded direct ordering and more control over customer relationships. Restaurants can offer pickup and delivery through a mobile-first checkout on their website. For delivery orders, Sauce connects with multiple delivery fleets and uses an AI-based algorithm to select a courier. The platform also provides automated customer marketing and retention tools, plus operational features for order tracking, refunds, reconciliations, and reporting. Listed integrations and partners include Toast, Stripe, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Otter, and ItsaCheckmate. Sauce says it provides 24/7 support for delivery and order issues, and that most restaurants can go live within five business days after plan and setup details are confirmed. Sauce Manager is a free iOS and Android app for partners to manage ordering, menus, hours, and sales performance. Sauce runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Pricing is on request and tailored to the restaurant’s setup and goals.
