Menuthere vs Appropo

It is aimed at NZ hospitality businesses from single venues to franchises, and sends orders into POS systems such as WizBang OneTap and Lightspeed Kounta. Pricing is usage-based in NZD: NZ$50 per location a month plus 1.5% of online sales (GST exclusive), with setup and branded apps charged separately.

| Commission per order | 0% | 0% | No commission charged to the restaurant is published. MOBI does take its own percentage fee on each order, but charges it to the guest: a service fee of at least $0.10 and at most $3.00 per order, on pickup and delivery orders paid online through MOBI Payments. Venues cannot turn it off. | Not published. The pricing page lists subscription fees only and shows no per-order commission. | A per-order platform fee under the merchant terms ("Platform Fees in accordance with the pricing plan selected"). The current pricing page gives no rate, only that higher order volume brings lower commission. Archived copies of the pricing page (September 2022 and May 2024) listed 1.8% per order. The terms also allow "penalty commission rates" if the venue's Stripe account is not connected, verified and active, or subscription payments are outstanding. | Varies per venue (agreed with me&u); the Australian help centre says at most 4.5% per order, the same for dine-in, pickup and delivery orders |
| Contract | Month to month; 7-day free trial on Lite and Pro | Not stated on the US or Australian pricing pages; the Norwegian price list says its price applies to a 12-month contract period | Under the Terms of Service, charges are billed monthly in advance and are never refunded, and MOBI can change its charges (including the guest service fee) on 14 days' notice. A restaurant that ends the agreement during a Service Term still owes the monthly Minimum Commitment Fee and/or Subscription Fee for the rest of that term. The term length is not published. | Annual or monthly plans (annual billing is cheaper) | Merchant terms (updated 11 February 2025): the subscription has an initial term of 1 year from when the plan is accepted and renews automatically for periods of equal duration unless notice is given; the agreement as a whole renews for successive 12-month periods if no termination notice is given, though either party may end it by written notice. No cancellation fees, but outstanding fees must be paid, and subscription fees are non-refundable. The terms also make Bopple the venue's exclusive online ordering and payment provider unless agreed in writing. | Current me&u venue terms are not published. The archived Mr Yum AU venue terms (last updated 1 November 2023) ran until terminated, let either side end them with 30 days' written notice, and charged a monthly Minimum Commitment Fee when a venue's monthly sales fell below its Minimum Sales Volume. |
