APPY Delivery

APPY Delivery is a restaurant delivery-operations system for coordinating in-house drivers and on-demand courier services. It is best suited to venues that need dispatch controls, customer tracking, and configurable delivery areas alongside a broader point-of-sale setup. Its strongest case is operational control across the delivery journey; the main caution is that delivery capabilities are tied to plans whose pricing and limits differ substantially.

Overview

APPY Delivery covers order assignment, courier progress, customer notifications, and zone-based delivery rules. A digital dispatch board lets staff allocate jobs manually or automatically, while the platform supports multi-channel order sources. Named third-party courier options include Wolt Drive, Glovo On Demand, Frogo, and Tookan.

The service sits within APPY POS, which targets restaurants, cafés, fast-food outlets, food trucks, and other HORECA businesses. APPY says own-fleet deliveries carry zero commission, whereas third-party delivery portals typically charge 20–45% per order. That distinction makes the system more compelling for venues able to operate their own drivers, while businesses that outsource every delivery will see less benefit from the fleet economics.

Key features

Dispatch and live delivery control

Orders can be assigned by staff or through automated dispatch on the digital board. Route optimization, live GPS courier locations, and estimated-arrival updates give operators a current view of active deliveries rather than requiring phone-based coordination. This combination is practical for restaurants managing several drivers at once; smaller venues with occasional deliveries may not need every control.

Customer and driver workflow

Customers receive an SMS tracking link showing courier location, estimated arrival, and order status. Couriers using the APPY Driver mobile app can receive jobs, navigate, collect proof of delivery, and mark orders complete. These handoff and completion steps create a clear operational record and reduce the need for separate customer-status messages.

Zones, fees, and integrations

Restaurants can draw custom delivery zones and set a delivery fee, minimum order value, and estimated delivery time for each zone. That supports different commercial rules for nearby and distant addresses. The named integrations connect the operation to Wolt Drive, Glovo On Demand, Frogo, and Tookan, while APPY POS also names Glovo, Wolt, and Bolt integration in its paid POS plan.

Pricing

APPY uses a freemium model, with paid access from €7.50 per month when billed annually. The plans shown span QR-menu functionality and a full POS package, so the appropriate choice depends on whether delivery is needed as part of a wider restaurant system.

AppyQR Free

At free, this plan includes a basic digital QR menu, up to 50 products, one active location, and email support. It is suitable for a small venue needing a no-cost menu presence, but the product cap, single-location limit, and email-only support make it unsuitable as a serious multi-site delivery operation.

AppyQR Smart

AppyQR Smart costs €7.50 a month billed annually, or 9 €/month when paid monthly. It removes the product and QR-code limits and adds multilingual, multi-level menus plus priority technical support. This is the sensible upgrade for venues outgrowing the free menu, although it is still a QR-menu plan rather than the complete POS and delivery package.

Appy POS

Appy POS costs €49 a month billed annually, or 59 €/month when paid monthly. It includes complete POS, an online store and delivery, Glovo, Wolt, and Bolt integration, stock management, and e-Invoice. Restaurants needing delivery operations integrated with point of sale and inventory have the clearest reason to choose it.

Platforms

APPY Delivery and the associated APPY POS experience support Android, iOS, web, and Windows. APPY POS works on devices with a web browser, including laptops, tablets, and phones. The APPY Driver application gives couriers a mobile workflow. APPY Solutions ltd's privacy policy covers personal-data collection, use, and disclosure, with an update dated September 16, 2026, and the APPY POS homepage advertises 24/7 support.

Who it's for

Choose APPY Delivery when a restaurant, café, fast-food outlet, food truck, or other HORECA business needs dispatch automation, GPS visibility, customer SMS tracking, and zone-specific pricing. It is particularly well matched to venues operating their own fleet, because APPY states those deliveries have zero commission. It is less compelling for a business seeking only a lightweight courier link or one that sends every order through outside portals.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Flexible dispatch: Manual and automated assignment support different staffing models.
• End-to-end visibility: Live maps, ETA updates, customer SMS tracking, and proof of delivery cover operators, customers, and drivers.
• Configurable zones: Fees, minimum orders, and ETAs can vary by drawn delivery area.
• Own-fleet economics: APPY says its own-fleet deliveries have zero commission.

Cons

• Plan separation: The free and €7.50 QR plans do not provide the complete POS and delivery scope of Appy POS.
• Annual commitment for the lowest paid price: AppyQR Smart is €7.50 monthly only when billed annually; monthly billing is 9 €/month.
• Third-party costs remain relevant: Portal deliveries typically incur 20–45% per-order commissions.

Verdict

APPY Delivery is a strong fit for restaurants that want one system for dispatch, driver tracking, customer updates, delivery zones, and POS-linked operations. Its clearest advantage is control of an own-fleet workflow without delivery commission. Look elsewhere if you need delivery-only pricing, want to avoid third-party portal commissions entirely, or can make do with a simpler order-and-driver tool.
