Compare restaurant management systems side by side.
The three things to remember.
When a prospect is choosing between us and Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, or TouchBistro, these are the three angles that win — straight, defensible, no overstating.
The number is the number.
$149/mo per restaurant covers every module we ship today. Other vendors’ sticker prices look great until you add KDS, online ordering, and loyalty — then the bill more than doubles. Our flat fee is the bill. There’s no Phase 2 invoice waiting in the mail.
We don’t profit from your processing.
Toast, Square, and Clover make the bulk of their margin on resold payment processing — that’s why their sticker prices can be low. Our $149 is software-only. No per-order kickback, no opaque interchange-plus markup. The processor you choose is between you and them.
Month-to-month, BYO hardware.
Toast and Clover lock you into multi-year contracts plus their hardware. We don’t. If we stop earning your business this month, you cancel next month. Your iPads stay iPads — they don’t turn into paperweights when you switch.
Common objections + honest answers
- “Square is free though.”
- Square’s free plan charges 2.6% + 15¢ in-person. On $50K/mo in card sales that’s ~$1,400 in processing fees alone. KDS and a real online-ordering experience are paid add-ons. By the time you’re running a real restaurant on Square, you’re paying ~$100–$150/mo before processing — and Square Payments is non-negotiable.
- “Toast already has my data.”
- We migrate it. Menu, modifiers, customer list, historical orders — comes over in onboarding. Most single-location switches finish inside a day. Toast keeps your data on their side too; it doesn’t evaporate just because you stopped paying them.
- “Multi-location is a hard requirement.”
- Today, FoodyOS is one restaurant per account. Native multi-location ownership (one login managing several restaurants with consolidated reporting) is on our roadmap. If you run 6+ locations and need that today, we’re not the right fit yet — and we’ll tell you that on the call.
- “What about the AI ordering you advertise on the home page?”
- The WhatsApp + AI ordering channel we ship in our LATAM and Brazil markets isn’t part of the $149 US plan. US operators have a different ordering culture; the US plan focuses on the branded ordering site + KDS + delivery dispatch. If your operation specifically wants AI ordering, we can scope a custom variant.
