Where each one falls short

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

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.

Lightspeed Restaurant

  • Starts at $69 a month for Starter, rising to $189 for Essential and $399 for Premium
  • The kitchen display system is charged separately at $30 per screen per month
  • Lightspeed Reservations, reservation integrations and Lightspeed Tasks are add-ons on every tier below Enterprise rather than included features
  • Integrated payments are fixed to a default configuration on Starter, with custom configuration only from Essential upwards
  • Card processing rates and hardware costs are not published, and the vendor notes prices vary by business and industry
