How much does BentoBox cost?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Updated
BentoBox does not publish prices on its own page — it is now tied to Clover POS customers, so pricing is quoted rather than listed. Third-party reports put its Takeout & Delivery ordering at about $49/month plus $0.99 per order and roughly 3% card processing. For published, flat pricing with 0% commission and no per-order fee, Menuthere starts at $17/month. Updated October 2026.
- BentoBox's official pricing page shows no prices — it is now sold alongside Clover POS.
- Third-party reports put Takeout & Delivery ordering at about $49/month + $0.99 per order + ~3% card processing.
- Because it is quoted per restaurant, your real BentoBox cost depends on your plan and Clover relationship.
- The $0.99 per-order fee adds up as volume grows, unlike a flat monthly plan.
- Menuthere has a published flat price from $17/month, 0% commission and no per-order fee.
A published price, no per-order fee
Menuthere gives your restaurant its own ordering website, QR menu and dashboard at a published flat price, with 0% commission and no per-order charge. It runs on any phone, so there is no Clover hardware to buy, and Lite and Pro include a 14-day free trial.
What does BentoBox actually charge?
BentoBox no longer lists prices on its own site and is now offered to Clover POS customers, so the real figure comes from a quote. Third-party reviews report its Takeout & Delivery ordering at around $49/month plus $0.99 per order and about 3% card processing. Treat those as estimates, not official numbers, and ask BentoBox for a written quote for your plan, including the per-order fee.
| BentoBox | Menuthere | |
|---|---|---|
| Published price | Not on its own page | Published flat price |
| Ordering (reported) | ~$49/mo + $0.99/order | Lite $17/mo, Pro $39/mo |
| Per-order fee | ~$0.99 (reported) | None |
| Card processing | ~3% (reported) | Your own gateway's fee |
| Commission on direct orders | 0% | 0% |
| Hardware | Tied to Clover POS | None — any phone |
Why does the per-order fee matter?
A $0.99 per-order fee is small on one order but scales with volume: 1,000 online orders a month is about $990 on top of the monthly plan. A flat monthly tool charges the same whether you take 100 or 1,000 orders, so the more you sell online, the bigger the gap. If online ordering is a large share of your sales, a no-per-order-fee plan usually wins.
- Per-order fee grows with every order you take.
- A flat monthly plan stays the same as you grow.
- Always add the per-order fee to the monthly plan when comparing.
Is there a flat-fee BentoBox alternative?
Yes. If you want a published flat price with no per-order fee, Menuthere gives you an ordering website, QR menu and dashboard from $17/month with 0% commission, plus a branded app at $99/month if you want one. BentoBox is design-led and strong for restaurant marketing sites; if your main goal is commission-free ordering at a predictable price, a flat-fee tool is lighter.

Who this is a good fit for
- Restaurants that want a clear, published price rather than a per-restaurant quote.
- Owners who dislike a per-order fee on top of a monthly plan.
- Small and takeout-first places that mainly want commission-free online ordering.
Who this is not for
- Restaurants that specifically want BentoBox's design-led website and events tooling and will get a quote for it.
- Owners already on Clover POS who want BentoBox bundled with it.
