CloudWaitress vs storekit

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.

Storekit is an ordering platform for restaurants and hospitality venues, covering pickup, delivery, catering, kiosks, QR order and pay, add-to-bill and pay-at-table. Customers can place orders through a website in their browser without downloading an app or creating a login. Operators can create a branded storefront on their own domain and customize its colours, fonts, layout and sections.

Storekit lists more than 100 POS, payment, loyalty and CRM integrations. Restaurants can use their own riders or dispatch through delivery partners, and App Studio can produce a native app for submission to Apple’s App Store and Google Play under the restaurant’s brand. Plans use zero commission on orders and a flat per-order rate. The Storekit+ plan is £99 a month with a 12-month commitment, or £149 a month on a rolling plan; each lists five locations and one ordering channel. Direct REST API access is in early access, is not publicly available and is granted case by case. The London-based company says it was built in 2020.
