What is different between Better Resto and Zayos?
When does a flat $399 cost less than a percent?
Plainly: on a slow month, Better Resto Starter costs less than Zayos. Better Resto Starter is $0 a month plus 10%, so it stays under $399 until a location sells $3,990 a month direct. Each higher plan trades a bigger monthly fee for a smaller percent, and the cheapest of the four stays under $399 until about $24,900 a month (Pro: $150 + 1%). Above that, the flat $399 costs less, and the gap grows with every order.

Illustrative, for one location, from Better Resto's own pricing page (https://betterresto.com/pricing, read 15 Oct 2026) and ours (/pricing). Each Better Resto cell is the plan's monthly fee plus its percent of the sales in that row. Card processing is left out of both, because both platforms charge it. Better Resto's page does not say whether a plan is per location, so a group of stores should ask them. On Zayos the diner pays the $0.99 service fee; it is not in the restaurant's column.
What is the same in both?
Both put a branded online store on your own domain, with your full menu, so a regular can order from you instead of from a marketplace.
Both let you run discount codes and offers on your own site, on your own terms, without paying a marketplace to feature them.
Both put the price on a public page. You can do this math before anyone calls you, which is rarer in this market than it should be.
Neither includes card processing in the plan price. Every card payment carries it on both, which is why this page leaves it out of both columns.
What is better with Zay-OS?
Zayos takes no commission, so a record month costs the same $399 as a quiet one. Your best weeks are not taxed. The restaurant keeps 100% of food revenue, and 100% of tips on pickup and dine-in. On delivery the tip goes to the driver.
Every Zayos plan, the $399 one included, gives you your customers' names, emails, phones and order history, with a CRM. Owning that list is the whole point of ordering direct.
Orders inject into Clover, Square and Shift4 at no extra cost (Toast works with Toast's own $50 a month fee), so the kitchen does not retype a ticket.
On Operator + Tablet ($499) and Concierge ($599), Otter brings every Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub order onto the kitchen tablet next to your direct orders. One screen, one ticket flow.
