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.
