Which to choose
Checkmate
Choose Checkmate if you fit its listed audience: Enterprise and multi-location restaurant brands; Brands wanting to win back marketplace losses.
Our profile lists a 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.
HubRise
Choose HubRise if you fit its listed audience: Restaurants selling through several delivery and ordering channels; Multi-site food operators; Dark kitchens running virtual brands.
Orders.co
Choose Orders.co if your business matches one of the audiences it is listed for: Restaurants selling on several delivery apps; Independent restaurants; Chains, franchises and ghost kitchens.
