- Menu engineering, nutrition labels, allergen tagging and POS integration are Enterprise only
- Extra recipe viewer locations cost $60 per month each
- Cost feeds start at $179 to $199 per month per location on top of the plan fee
- Priority phone support, Slack or Teams access and a dedicated success manager are Enterprise only
- Enterprise pricing is custom with no published rate
Nory
- The forecasting that justifies the product needs several months of clean point of sale history, so new openings and recently reopened sites get little value at first.
- It replaces scheduling, stock and reporting together, which makes adoption an all or nothing project rather than a tool a single manager can trial.
- Employment rules and rota compliance are built for the United Kingdom and Ireland, so groups with United States or continental European sites will find gaps.
- The vendor is young and its integration list is short, so an operator on a less common point of sale or payroll provider may be waiting on a build.
- Pricing is per site, which means small satellite units and kiosks cost the same as flagship venues despite far simpler operations.

No. It produces the rota, hours and labour cost, and exports to payroll rather than running it.

meez offers a free trial with no setup fees. The trial allows potential customers to test the platform before selecting a subscription plan.
SourceNory: Is it usable outside the United Kingdom and Ireland?

Nory: Does it replace my point of sale?
No. It reads sales from the point of sale and sits above it as the operations and reporting layer.
