Menuthere vs Maitre'D
Maitre'D is a restaurant POS owned by Montreal-based PayFacto, and its online ordering module adds an ordering page to the restaurant's own website that sends orders straight to the Maitre'D POS and kitchen. It is sold to restaurants, bars, hotels and chains through sales advisors and resellers, not a self-serve signup. Online ordering costs £39 a month per location plus a £399 setup fee, with add-ons at £29 a month each and no commission listed; the POS and card processing are priced separately.
From £39/mo
Online ordering: £39 a month per location plus a £399 setup fee. Add-ons are £29 a month each: hotel integration, loyalty and gift cards, accounting integration and table booking integration. These prices are shown in pounds sterling on the Canadian English, French and UK pages alike; no Canadian-dollar or US-dollar price is published. Online ordering needs a Maitre'D POS: Virtuo cloud POS plans are $59.95 (Express), $99.95 (Core) and $149.95 (Pro) a month, with the currency not stated, and Enterprise is quote only.
