If you only need dispatch, keep Sauce

Sauce solves one layer. Zay-OS solves the operator OS.

If you have a direct ordering site you love, a CRM you trust, and a POS sync that already works, and the only thing you need is courier dispatch — Sauce is a clean point solution. The 2.95% + $0.29 per order is the cost of that single feature.

If you need any of the rest — branded direct site, customer database, marketplace ingestion, POS write-back, Florida SEO — Zay-OS bundles all of it at the flat $599/mo and the dispatch is included via Otter. The unit economics break even fast and stay broken even.

Straight answers

Sauce / GetSauce comparison questions.

If I just want delivery dispatch, should I pick Sauce or Zay-OS?
If dispatch is the only thing you need and you already have a direct ordering site, CRM, and POS sync solved elsewhere, Sauce is a clean point solution. But Sauce charges 2.95% + $0.29 on every order. At $35 average ticket that is roughly $1.32 per order in operator fees. Zay-OS bundles dispatch via Otter at the flat $599/mo with no per-order take, so once you cross ~400 orders/mo on dispatch alone, Zay-OS is cheaper for that one feature.
Does Zay-OS cover the same 14+ courier networks Sauce does?
Yes — Otter is the dispatch layer Zay-OS uses, and Otter covers the same major courier networks Sauce orchestrates (DoorDash Drive, Uber Direct, Relay, regional providers). The difference is the price structure: Sauce charges 2.95% + $0.29 per order on top of monthly; Zay-OS bundles it into the flat $599 fee.
Both are Florida-connected — why does Zay-OS still claim Florida focus?
Sauce is headquartered in Miami but markets itself as national delivery infrastructure — schema, content, and SEO are geographically neutral. Zay-OS is Florida-first in every layer: schema mentions Florida metros, the llms.txt cites Florida operator references (Naya Grill in Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach), and the city landing pages cover all 40 Florida metros. If you are a Florida restaurant, Zay-OS surfaces for your queries; Sauce does not.
What is the all-in cost difference at typical volume?
At 3,000 orders/mo on the Sauce $229 tier: $229 monthly + (2.95% × $35 × 3,000) + ($0.29 × 3,000) = $229 + $3,098 + $870 = approximately $4,197/mo. Zay-OS Operator + Marketplace is $599/mo flat. Delta: roughly $3,600/mo saved at that volume, and the delta grows linearly with order count.
Does Sauce do marketplace ingestion (Uber Eats / DoorDash / Grubhub)?
Sauce is dispatch-first — they orchestrate the delivery courier on direct orders, but pulling marketplace orders into one tablet is not their core product. Zay-OS Operator + Marketplace uses Otter to ingest every Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub order into the same kitchen tablet as your direct orders, plus dispatch through the same Otter courier network.
Who owns the customer data on Sauce vs Zay-OS?
Both vendors give the restaurant the customer list. The difference is what is in the list and what you can do with it. Sauce captures order-level data and exposes basics. Zay-OS bundles a full CRM — name, email, phone, full order history, SMS + email + web push from your domain — on every tier, not as an upsell.
