Which to choose

Checkmate

Choose Checkmate if your business matches one of the audiences it is listed for: Enterprise and multi-location restaurant brands; Brands wanting to win back marketplace losses.

Weaker fit: Small single-site restaurants: the vendor says it gives enterprise brands scalable technology, and its POS integration list marks some POS systems as available only for brands with 10+ locations.

Grubtech

Choose Grubtech if you are in one of these groups: Restaurants juggling several delivery apps; Cloud kitchens and delivery-only brands; Regional and multi-brand chains.

Weaker fit: Restaurants that want a full point of sale with tills, tables and payments. Grubtech describes itself as a middleware layer that connects to your existing POS, ERP and delivery platforms rather than replacing them.
