Wix alternative for restaurants · 2026
Menuthere vs Wix
Wix and Menuthere both take restaurant orders with no commission. Wix's free Restaurants Orders app handles pickup, delivery and QR dine-in on a site you design yourself, but taking orders and payments needs a plan that accepts payments, from Core at $29 a month billed yearly. Menuthere builds a menu-first ordering site from a photo of your menu: the Free plan takes 50 orders a month, Lite is $17 a month for unlimited orders, and Pro at $39 adds WhatsApp order updates, loyalty and your own riders.

Where each one wins
Wix is a website builder with good restaurant ordering inside it. Menuthere is a restaurant ordering system that builds the site for you.
Where Wix wins
- Design freedom: every page, layout and blog post is yours to build. Menuthere builds a menu-first ordering site and gives far less control over design.
- Reservations, gift cards, coupons and loyalty all live in the same Wix dashboard as your site.
- Built-in CRM, discounts, coupons and automated marketing in the ordering app, and connections to delivery platforms such as DoorDash Drive.
- One account for a website, ordering and marketing, if you're happy building it yourself.
Where Menuthere wins
- Orders on the Free plan (50 a month), and unlimited orders with card payments at $17 a month; Wix needs Core at $29 billed yearly to take any order.
- A menu read from a photo or PDF, so there is no site to build.
- WhatsApp: a Send Order to WhatsApp button on every plan, and order updates, a bot and broadcasts on Pro.
- Delivery fees that grow with distance, your own riders with live tracking on Pro, and the 14 allergens and calories on every dish.
Adding Menuthere to a Wix site, or moving
Import your menu
Upload a photo or PDF of your menu and Menuthere's AI reads the dishes, prices and sizes for you to check. There is no direct import from Wix.
Set ordering and payments
Draw your delivery area and fees, set pickup slots on Lite, print table QR codes, and connect your own Stripe account.
Keep Wix or leave it
Add an Order now button to your Wix site that opens Menuthere, or point your domain to Menuthere on Lite. Wix plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee.
The bottom line
Pick Wix if you want to design your whole website, with a blog, gift cards and reservations, and you're happy to pay for Core or higher to take orders. Its restaurant ordering is solid: options and add-ons, prep times, advance orders and QR dine-in.
Pick Menuthere if ordering is the point. It takes orders on its Free plan, costs $17 a month on Lite, and adds WhatsApp, delivery priced by distance and allergen details that Wix's pages don't describe. At 400 orders a month the cost is close, because card fees are the same.
Or use both: keep your Wix site for your story and photos, and add a Menuthere Order now button. Menuthere has no kitchen display screen, gift cards or delivery-app integration. See the other options on our Wix alternatives page.
