UpMenu Alternative
The all-in-one UpMenu alternative
UpMenu is also 0% commission, but its branded app, loyalty and POS are paid add-ons with order caps, RestApp bundles them into one simple monthly plan.
The catch with UpMenu
Commission-free, but the real cost stacks up in add-ons and order caps
UpMenu's biggest strength is genuine: it charges 0% per-order commission and lets the restaurant own its customer data, just like RestApp. The catch is that the advertised price is a floor, not the real cost, the cheaper plans cap how many orders you can take (around 75/month on Basic, 210 on Standard) and charge roughly $1.90 for each order beyond the limit, so a busy venue is pushed to higher tiers or overage fees. On top of that, several of the features you'd expect as standard are paid add-ons stacked on the base subscription: the branded native iOS/Android app is about $49/month per location, the loyalty program around $19/month, delivery management about $40/month, and the POS is its own product at roughly $29/month per terminal. Because everything is priced per location, per terminal and per driver, the headline $49/month rarely reflects what a full ordering-plus-app-plus-loyalty-plus-POS setup actually costs.
UpMenu pricing
UpMenu charges 0% per-order commission but runs on subscription plans starting at $49/month (Basic), $89/month (Standard) and $169/month (Premium) per location, with order caps on the lower plans and an overage of about $1.90 per extra order.

Questions & Answers
Does UpMenu charge commission on orders? +
No, like RestApp, UpMenu charges 0% per-order commission and works on a fixed monthly subscription instead. That's a real advantage over marketplaces like Uber Eats or Just Eat. The difference is in total cost: UpMenu's cheaper plans cap your monthly orders (roughly 75 on the $49 Basic plan and 210 on the $89 Standard plan) and charge about $1.90 for each order over the limit, and several core tools are paid add-ons. RestApp is also 0% commission but bundles your website, native apps, EPOS, e-menu and loyalty into one simple monthly plan with no per-order caps.
Is the branded mobile app included with UpMenu? +
Not in the base plans. UpMenu does offer a genuinely branded native iOS and Android app published under your own name, which is a strength, but it's a separate add-on at around $49/month per location on top of your ordering subscription. With RestApp your own branded website plus native iOS and Android apps are included in your plan, so you don't pay extra per location to put your restaurant in the app stores.
Does UpMenu include a full POS (EPOS) like RestApp? +
UpMenu does have its own cloud-based restaurant POS, but it's sold as a separate product (around $29/month per terminal) rather than bundled with the ordering system, and availability can vary by market. RestApp includes a full cloud EPOS alongside online ordering, e-menu/QR and KDS in the same platform, so your in-store and online orders run from one system you pay for once instead of stacking a POS subscription per terminal.
Why would I switch from UpMenu to RestApp? +
If you like UpMenu's 0% commission and want to keep it, RestApp gives you the same commission-free direct ordering and the same ownership of your customer data and relationship, but without the order caps, overage fees and the long list of per-location, per-terminal add-ons. Your branded website and native apps, cloud EPOS, e-menu/QR ordering, loyalty, KDS and inventory come together in one simple monthly plan, with free setup, migration help and 24/7 support included rather than priced as extras.
