List prices from each company's website, read 20 October 2026, before sales tax. Worked example, a US restaurant with one station and 600 online orders a month at $30 ($18,000): on POS Essentials it is $55 + SpotOn Order $55 + (3.45% × $18,000 + 600 × 15¢ = $711) = $821 a month, plus a $750 station and implementation upfront. On the All-In plan it is $0 + $55 + ($682 + $120) = about $857 a month on a 2-year term. On Menuthere Lite it is $17 + Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ ($522 + $180) = $719 a month, with no POS. The SpotOn totals include a POS; Menuthere's does not.
Where each one wins
SpotOn sells a POS with online ordering as an add-on. Menuthere sells the online ordering on its own.
Where SpotOn wins
- A full POS: stations, handhelds, KDS, payments, reporting and team tools in one system, with online orders logged in the POS.
- Flat-rate DoorDash Drive delivery at $7.95 a delivery ($9.95 in California), and you decide how much the guest pays.
- DoorDash and Uber Eats integrations for $25 a month each, and Order with Google built in. Menuthere doesn't pull in delivery-app orders.
- Text, email and social marketing campaigns. Menuthere has no SMS or email campaigns.
Where Menuthere wins
- No POS to buy or switch to: start free, then $17 or $39 a month, with no stations, implementation or contract.
- Your card payments go to your own Stripe account at Stripe's published rate, not a processor tied to your POS.
- A free plan with 50 orders a month, set up yourself in minutes, with no card needed.
- On Pro, your own riders get an iPhone or Android app and customers follow them on a live map, with no per-delivery fee.
- WhatsApp order updates from your own number on Pro.
Moving from SpotOn Order to Menuthere
Import your menu
Upload a photo or PDF of your menu and Menuthere's AI import builds it, with sizes and add-ons you can check and edit.
Connect payments and delivery
On Lite, connect your own Stripe account and draw your delivery zones. On Pro, add your riders, or use Uber Direct on your own account.
Check your SpotOn term first
On the All-In plan, check your 2-year term and processing minimums before you cancel. Menuthere doesn't connect to SpotOn POS, so online orders arrive in Menuthere's dashboard and partner app.
The bottom line
Pick SpotOn if you are choosing a new POS anyway and want SpotOn Order, flat-rate DoorDash delivery and delivery-app integrations in the same system.
Pick Menuthere if you want commission-free online and QR ordering without a POS: free to start, Lite at $17 a month, and Pro at $39 with WhatsApp order updates and your own riders.
Menuthere doesn't connect to SpotOn POS or pull in DoorDash and Uber Eats orders. If those matter most, SpotOn or another system on our SpotOn alternatives list fits better.
