Adding Menuthere alongside DotPe
Keep your POS, add a direct page
Many restaurants keep a POS for billing and add Menuthere for commission-free direct ordering and WhatsApp. They solve different problems and don't clash.
Build your menu and connect payments
Add your dishes, pick a layout and connect your own gateway: Razorpay or Easebuzz on Lite, Cashfree on Pro, with UPI QR and cash on delivery on every plan.
Share your link and WhatsApp number
Put your ordering link on Google, Instagram and WhatsApp, print QR codes, and move regulars off Zomato and Swiggy so marketplace commission matters less.
The bottom line
Choose DotPe if you want a broad POS-and-payments-and-storefront suite from one vendor and are comfortable getting pricing on request.
Choose Menuthere if your priority is a 0% commission ordering page, QR menu and WhatsApp ordering on your own number, with a price you can see upfront.
