Who it is for

  • South African restaurants taking their own delivery and collection orders

    Built and hosted in South Africa, with local payment gateways and a flat fee rather than commission.

  • Restaurants with several branches

    Each location gets its own details and orders go to that location's email address or WhatsApp number.

  • Takeaway kitchens that manage their own drivers

    Resto is software only; the restaurant handles its own drivers, optionally with a Shipday connection for dispatch.

Less suited to: Restaurants that want a delivery fleet or marketing help: the vendor says it supplies no drivers or vehicles and does not market your restaurant.

What it does

    New orders are sent to an email address or a WhatsApp number, or picked up by the auto-print app.

Pricing

Starting price
From ZAR 1000 per month per shop
Pricing model
Subscription per location

R1000 per month per shop, which the vendor says includes adding the menu and setting up the shop; no commissions and no charge for higher order volumes. White labelling is an optional once-off R5000. The auto-print app is free. The software licence agreement page still quotes an older R4200 purchase price and R800 monthly fee, so the licence text and the pricing page disagree.
