Ressto

Overview

Ressto is a restaurant ordering platform for businesses that want to take pickup and delivery orders through their own digital channels. It is best suited to restaurants building a direct-ordering presence, particularly those that need a free starting tier or multi-location tools. Its 0% commission policy is a clear advantage, though Basic’s 100-order monthly cap makes plan choice important.

Restaurants can accept orders through a website, branded apps, QR codes, Facebook, Instagram, or kiosks, with POS integration and delivery management also included. Branded apps are available for iOS and Android; ordering also works on the web and tablets. Ressto is a product of Deonde, headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, and says it serves more than 3,000 restaurants across multiple regions. Most US restaurants can be accepting orders within 24 hours of signing up.

Loyalty, marketing, delivery, and integrations are included across the plans, rather than sold as add-ons. US customers can pay by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and digital wallets through Stripe.

Key features

Direct ordering across channels

Ressto combines branded storefronts and mobile apps with ordering through social platforms, QR codes, and kiosks. That breadth can help restaurants meet customers where they already browse, while pickup and delivery cover the two main fulfillment choices.

Tools for operating a restaurant

Delivery management, loyalty, marketing, booking tools, custom domains, and SEO controls round out the ordering platform. These capabilities make Ressto more than a basic order form, particularly for restaurants wanting their own branded channels. Growth and Scale provide unlimited staff accounts; Basic restricts access to one account, which may be limiting even for a small team.

Multi-location capacity

Growth supports up to 20 restaurants, and Scale allows unlimited restaurants. Enterprise is aimed at groups with 20 or more outlets. The per-restaurant billing basis on Growth and Scale means groups should account for location count when comparing costs.

Pricing

Ressto uses a freemium model, with paid plans billed per restaurant per month; applicable taxes are excluded. Customers can cancel or downgrade at any time.

• Basic: Free forever, with no credit card required. It includes up to 100 orders per month, 200 menu items, 10 QR codes, one staff account, and one restaurant. This is a useful no-cost way to begin, but the order cap and single account make it a poor fit once volume or staffing grows.
• Growth: $39 a month per restaurant. It raises the ceilings to unlimited orders, menu items, QR codes, and staff accounts, and supports up to 20 restaurants. This is the practical step up for restaurants outgrowing Basic, though the per-location charge matters to groups.
• Scale: $99 a month per restaurant. It includes unlimited orders, menu items, QR codes, staff accounts, and restaurants, and is positioned for businesses seeking branded apps, loyalty, and delivery fleet tools. It suits larger operations needing the broadest capacity, but costs more per location than Growth.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing for restaurant groups with 20+ outlets. It is intended for larger groups whose needs exceed the standard multi-location plans.

All plans carry 0% commission on orders, forever. This keeps order volume from triggering a commission charge, while Basic’s fixed monthly quota still places a ceiling on free use.

Platforms

Branded apps are available for iOS and Android. Customers can also order on the web and tablets. The service supports ordering through websites, QR codes, Facebook, Instagram, and kiosks.

Who it's for

Ressto is a strong fit for restaurants that want direct pickup and delivery ordering, branded customer channels, and a path from a free one-location plan to multi-location management. Basic works for a low-volume restaurant with one staff account; Growth is better for expanding operations that need more capacity or up to 20 locations. Scale serves groups wanting unlimited locations, while Enterprise targets groups with 20+ outlets.

It is less compelling for a restaurant that needs more than 100 monthly orders but is not ready to pay, or for teams that need multiple staff accounts on a free plan. Groups should also weigh the per-restaurant billing against their location count.

Pros and cons

• Pro: 0% commission applies across every plan, so order volume does not incur a Ressto commission.
• Pro: Basic is free forever without a credit card, giving a small operation a no-cost starting point.
• Pro: Loyalty, marketing, delivery, and integrations are included rather than treated as add-ons.
• Pro: Growth and Scale support unlimited orders and staff accounts, and Scale removes the location ceiling.
• Con: Basic is capped at 100 orders per month and one staff account, creating an early upgrade point for busy or multi-person operations.
• Con: Growth and Scale are priced per restaurant per month, so group costs rise with location count.
• Con: Basic allows just 200 menu items and 10 QR codes, constraints that may matter to restaurants with broad menus or many ordering points.

Alternatives

Consider AvowApps if you want a free app-building plan with one app, 1,000 MB of storage, basic modules, and community support; its free plan does not include source code.

Deonde Restaurant App Builder is another free option, with a 100-order monthly limit, 50 menu items, 10 QR codes, one staff account, and cash-only payments on its Basic plan. Ressto’s Basic plan allows 200 menu items, while Deonde’s plan is explicitly cash-only.

GloriaFood may suit restaurants seeking a free service plan with unlimited orders and locations, no commission per order, and no monthly fee.

DoorDash Online Ordering is worth considering for direct orders without monthly or commission-based fees, while allowing for standard payment processing and customer-paid delivery fees.

Mobstep is a paid alternative with a $29/month Basic plan that includes unlimited branches, two agents, 200 items, Android and iOS support, a mobile website, and an application builder.

Restolabs is a paid option with a 30-day trial and zero-commission unlimited orders on its Basic plan, priced at $199 a month.

UpMenu Restaurant App Builder may fit restaurants looking for a website-focused starting plan: its Website plan is $1 a month per location and includes a builder, SEO tools, hosting, and an SSL certificate.

Ordare is another paid option, with a $99 a month branded-app plan that includes online ordering, loyalty and rewards, campaigns, push marketing, unlimited locations, and items.

Verdict

Ressto is a good choice for restaurants that want commission-free direct ordering, branded customer channels, and room to expand across locations. The free plan is a credible starting point, and Growth removes the order cap at $39 a month per restaurant. Look elsewhere if you need more than 100 orders or multiple staff accounts without moving beyond the free tier, or if per-location billing does not suit your group.
