In their own words
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.
