Menuthere vs BentoBox
What changes when you switch.
BentoBox is a US restaurant website and commerce platform: designed websites, commission-free takeout and delivery ordering, online catering, QR code order and pay, gift cards, reservations, events and email and SMS marketing. It is now part of Clover, and its pricing page says its products are only available to Clover POS customers. It has never published prices: plans are quoted by a specialist, billed monthly or 12 months upfront.

DetailsHide details
Quote only; BentoBox has not published prices. Its FAQ says pricing 'depends on your restaurant's business goals' and asks you to contact a specialist. The pricing page archived in May 2026 listed Build Your Own (BentoCore plus any modules) and bundles with no prices: Foundations, Signature and Elevated for table-service restaurants, and Foundations and Signature for counter-service restaurants. Paying 12 months upfront gives 10% off. On 19 October 2026 it is sold only to Clover POS customers.

Be fair to it
When BentoBox is the better choice.
- No commission on online orders: the FAQ says Takeout and Delivery has 'no commission fees' and online catering is 'free of commission' (FAQ and Takeout & Delivery page, archived copies).
- One vendor for a designed website, takeout and delivery, catering, QR code order and pay, gift cards, reservations, waitlist, events and email and SMS marketing (pricing page, archived copy).
- No long-term contract: month to month or 12 months upfront at 10% off, cancel with 30 days notice (FAQ, archived copy).
- Group ordering with order controls such as lead time, order pacing, spend limits and number of participants (Takeout & Delivery page, archived copy).
And Menuthere's limits
What Menuthere doesn't do yet.
- Its own POS is basic (in-store billing, as a $10-a-month add-on), and it doesn't connect to outside EPOS systems such as Square, Toast or Epos Now.
- No integration with delivery apps such as Uber Eats, Just Eat or Deliveroo.
- Online payments need Stripe, which doesn't open accounts in every country.
- No kitchen display screen, no branded app below the Branded App plan ($99 a month), and no done-for-you ad management.
