Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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.
Postmates
- Driver supply varies by location after consolidation with Uber Eats
- Customer support is now handled through Uber's system rather than dedicated Postmates support
- Limited delivery areas in less densely populated regions

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Nory: How much sales history does it need to forecast well?
Several months at minimum. With less than that the forecast is not reliable enough to size rotas or orders against.
Postmates: Is Postmates still operating after Uber's acquisition?
Yes, Postmates continues operating. Uber completed the acquisition in December 2020 and kept Postmates as a separate consumer-facing brand. Orders placed on Postmates are fulfilled by Uber Eats drivers tagged with Postmates order identifiers.
SourceNory: Does it do payroll?
No. It produces the rota, hours and labour cost, and exports to payroll rather than running it.
Postmates: How are Postmates orders delivered after the Uber acquisition?
Postmates orders are now delivered by Uber Eats drivers, but the Postmates app remains separate. Deliveries are tagged as Postmates OrderID within the unified driver network.
SourceNory: Is it usable outside the United Kingdom and Ireland?
It can be, but the employment rules, compliance logic and integration coverage are built around those markets.
Postmates: Can I still use the Postmates app?
Yes, the Postmates app continues to be available on the App Store and Google Play. You can place orders through the Postmates app, though the driver network now operates through Uber Eats infrastructure.
SourceNory: 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.
Postmates: Did Postmates driver operations change?
Yes, Uber shut down the Postmates Fleet app for drivers. Postmates couriers were notified the Fleet app would go offline, consolidating driver operations into the Uber driver app. Postmates orders are now fulfilled by Uber Eats drivers.
