The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Craftable beverage and food are separately licensed modules, so a venue with a full bar and a full kitchen is quoted twice for the same address and the effective per venue cost is roughly double the headline.; Deliverect plans bundle an order allowance per location and charge overage, so the months when delivery performs best are the months the software bill jumps.
  • They diverge on capability: Craftable covers Weight based bottle counting, Deliverect covers Marketplace order injection.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Craftable

  • Beverage and food are separately licensed modules, so a venue with a full bar and a full kitchen is quoted twice for the same address and the effective per venue cost is roughly double the headline.
  • Invoice digitisation only helps if your suppliers are covered and their documents are legible; a venue buying from small local producers with handwritten dockets will still key those in by hand.
  • Accurate variance depends on counting on a fixed cadence, and venues that slip from weekly to monthly counts get numbers too stale to act on, which is the most common reason implementations quietly fail.
  • Weight based counting needs connected scales at each venue, an unbudgeted hardware cost that grows with the number of bars in the building.
  • Implementation requires mapping every item to supplier catalogue codes and building recipes before the first useful report, typically several weeks of a manager time that nobody has allocated.

Deliverect

  • Plans bundle an order allowance per location and charge overage, so the months when delivery performs best are the months the software bill jumps.
  • It is a single point of failure between the marketplaces and the kitchen; when the middleware has an incident, orders keep being accepted by the apps but stop reaching the till.
  • Integration depth varies by POS, and on some systems orders land as a single consolidated line rather than itemised, which quietly destroys product mix and recipe level cost reporting.
  • Each connected channel per location is counted separately, so a site listed on four marketplaces costs materially more than one listed on two, irrespective of whether the extra channels are profitable.
  • Support response is tiered by plan and smaller customers on lower tiers wait longest on order routing faults, which are time critical by definition.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Craftable: Is Craftable the same product as Bevager and Foodager?

Yes. Those were the beverage and food product names before the platform was consolidated under the Craftable brand; they are now modules rather than separate products.

Deliverect: Does Deliverect lower the commission I pay to delivery apps?

No. Marketplace commission is unchanged. It removes tablet handling, re keying errors and menu drift.

Craftable: Does it replace my accounting system?

No. It codes and exports invoices into an existing ledger such as QuickBooks or Sage Intacct rather than becoming the ledger.

Deliverect: Will it work with my point of sale?

It integrates with most major cloud and enterprise POS systems, but confirm whether your system receives itemised orders or one consolidated line before signing.

Craftable: Do I need the scale hardware?

Only for beverage. Weighing partial bottles is what makes liquor variance reliable; without it you are back to tenth of a bottle estimates.

Deliverect: Can it run my own ordering site too?

Yes, through Deliverect Direct, which puts first party orders through the same pipeline as marketplace orders.

Craftable: Can it handle multiple venues under one group?

Yes, with consolidated reporting across venues, but each venue is priced individually.

Deliverect: Is it available in the United States?

Yes, though its channel coverage advantage is strongest in Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Australia.
