One flat price. 0% commission on direct orders.

Pricing FAQ

What does $149 include?

Everything we ship for a single restaurant location: POS, kitchen display, floor and hostess (reservations + waitlist), online ordering site (3 templates), in-house delivery dispatch (map-based zones + driver assignment), inventory, loyalty, customer database, anonymous customer order-tracking page, and an audit log. Bring your own iPad / Android tablets. No add-ons, no module creep.

Are there per-order commissions?

None from us. A direct order — one placed on your own FoodyOS ordering site — carries 0% FoodyOS commission, and that is the only number on this page we would ask you to weigh heavily. The comparison that matters isn't one POS subscription against another; it's against what the marketplaces charge on the orders they bring you: DoorDash 15%–30%, Grubhub 5%–20% and Uber Eats 20%–30% on delivery orders, each from that platform's own published pricing page, August 2026. The condition is worth stating plainly rather than burying: you keep that commission only on the orders that actually arrive through your own channel. Orders that stay on a marketplace keep paying the marketplace, and FoodyOS does not move them for you. On the ones that do come direct, the only per-order cost is your own payment processor's published rate — you connect your own Stripe account, Stripe bills you directly, and FoodyOS never sits in the money flow or takes a cut.

How does $149 compare with Toast, Square or Lightspeed?

Honestly, it depends on the vendor — and on how much of it they publish. Square for Restaurants is the cheapest published like-for-like at $79/mo: Square Plus "$49/mo. per location" + Square KDS app "$30/mo. per device" (one device); online ordering included at $0. That is $70/mo less than FoodyOS for that module set. Lightspeed's cheapest tier that actually includes online ordering works out to $219/mo — Essential $189/mo (cheapest tier including online ordering) + Kitchen Display System "$30/screen per month" — which is more. Toast publishes a $69/mo POS-only floor and TouchBistro a $69/mo one, and neither publishes any price for online ordering or kitchen display, so a comparable bundle cannot be priced from their own pages at all; it is quoted on a sales call. Figures from each vendor's own pricing page, August 2026. So on sticker we sit mid-pack, with Square for Restaurants under us. The reason to look at FoodyOS anyway is the line below the subscription: a marketplace commission of 15%–30% on delivery orders is a far larger number than any gap between these subscriptions, and a direct order carries none of it — on the orders you actually move direct.

Is FoodyOS the cheapest restaurant POS?

No, and we would rather you read that here than find it on a comparison site. Square for Restaurants publishes $79/mo for the same module set — $70/mo under FoodyOS — and Toast and TouchBistro both publish a $69/mo POS-only floor. The exact tiers behind each of those figures are on the vendor cards above. Our argument is not the subscription line, it is the commission line underneath it. Take a restaurant putting $30,000 a month through DoorDash on Basic, the cheapest delivery plan DoorDash publishes at 15%: that is $4,500 a month in commission, against a $70/mo difference between two POS bills. If a quarter of that volume moved onto its own ordering site, the commission it stops paying on the orders that moved is $1,125 a month, minus its own Stripe fees on those same orders. If none of it moves, it saves nothing — this is arithmetic about a channel shift, not a discount, and the volume and share here are ours as an illustration, not measured results. Marketplace rates from each platform's own pricing page, August 2026.

Do I need to buy your hardware?

No. FoodyOS runs on iPads, Android tablets, or any modern web browser. Use the hardware you already own — the standard setup is restaurant-owned tablets assigned to staff per shift.

What happens if I cancel?

Plans bill monthly and cancel monthly. Export your data at any time — menus, customers, orders are all yours.

What about multi-location?

Today, FoodyOS ships one restaurant per account — that's what the $149 plan covers. If you operate multiple locations, each runs as its own FoodyOS account at $149 per restaurant per month. Native multi-location ownership (one owner managing several restaurants from a single login, with consolidated reporting) is on our roadmap; we'll roll it out without re-pricing existing customers when it ships. If you're running 3+ locations and want a single rollout plan, talk to us — we'll coordinate the onboarding.

Do you take card payments?

Yes. Online checkout on your FoodyOS storefront runs on Stripe — customers pay by card at checkout. You connect your own Stripe account, and payouts settle directly from Stripe to your bank at Stripe's published rates with no resold markup. FoodyOS never sits in the money flow, and there's no per-order commission on direct orders. In-restaurant card payments also run through your existing terminal.

Whose Stripe account processes my payments?

Yours. You connect your own Stripe account during onboarding (or we help you create one), and all payouts go directly from Stripe to your bank. FoodyOS never sits in the money flow. Stripe is the only processor we support — we made that call deliberately to keep pricing transparent (Stripe's published rates, no markup) and integration deep.

How long does onboarding take?

A single-location setup is built to go live the same day: we import your menu, customers, and inventory from your prior system, connect your own Stripe account, and pair your printers in one working session. FoodyOS is one restaurant per account today, so if you run several, each one is its own account and its own setup session — native multi-location ownership is on the roadmap, and we'll put you on the list for it on the demo call.
