How much does HungerRush cost? Zayos reads the fine print
Published July 2026 · Updated July 26, 2026
HungerRush publishes one price. Its Starter package is listed at $0 a month for restaurants that meet its qualification criteria, and includes a POS terminal, cash drawer, card reader and receipt printer. Card processing is a flat 3.09% plus 15 cents. Everything else is a custom quote.

"3.09% + 15 cents per transaction flat rate (Including Card Present and Card Not Present transactions)". One rate for a card tapped at the counter and a card typed into a delivery order online. That parenthetical is the most important thing on the whole pricing page.
How can a full POS system be $0 a month?
Because the software is not the product being priced. When a vendor hands over a terminal, a drawer, a reader and a printer for no monthly fee, the payment processing is carrying the deal. That is not a criticism, it is just how the model works, and it means a restaurant evaluating HungerRush should spend zero minutes on the subscription line and all of its attention on the card rate.
It also explains the asterisk. "Must meet qualification criteria" almost always means a volume expectation, because the hardware and support only pay for themselves above a certain amount of processing. Ask what the qualification threshold is, what happens to the $0 if your volume drops below it, and whether the hardware becomes billable at that point.
Read this way, HungerRush is one of the more honest price pages in the category. It leads with the number a restaurant actually pays every month, which is the processing rate, instead of burying it three clicks deep under a subscription tier.
What does 3.09% plus 15 cents cost at real volume?
Modeled on a single location running $50,000 a month in card volume across 1,600 tickets, roughly a $31 average, which is a normal month for a busy delivery pizzeria.
That is the whole cost of HungerRush at this volume, and it is a real number, not a mystery. A restaurant already paying an effective 2.9% would spend about $335 a month more here, roughly $4,020 a year, which buys a lot of subscription. A restaurant paying an effective 3.8% on a statement full of keyed and online orders would save.
The flat structure genuinely helps online heavy operators. Compare two published rates on a $31 delivery order paid by card online: Clover publishes 3.5% plus 10 cents for a card typed in, which is $1.19, while HungerRush's flat 3.09% plus 15 cents is $1.11 on the same ticket. Most processors price card not present higher. HungerRush does not, and for a shop where half the orders arrive online that difference compounds.
What is not published, and what should I ask?
Five questions to answer before the quote arrives, so the demo is a comparison instead of a presentation.
What does the Custom plan cost per month?
Not published. The pricing page shows the package contents and a request a demo button, with no dollar figure attached.
What are the qualification criteria for the $0 Starter?
Not published. The page carries an asterisk that reads "Must meet qualification criteria" without listing them. Expect a processing volume commitment to be part of the answer.
What does online ordering add to the bill?
Not published. Online ordering is listed as one of twelve add on options on the Custom plan, so it is priced inside a quote rather than on the page.
How long is the contract?
Not published on the pricing page. When hardware is bundled at no upfront cost, a term commitment is the usual mechanism, so ask for the length, the renewal and the early termination fee in writing.
What do extra terminals or screens cost?
Not published. The Starter package covers one terminal. A second station, a kitchen display screen and a rear customer display all sit in the custom quote.
One more worth adding to the list: ask whether third party ordering and delivery integrations carry a per order fee on top of the monthly figure. Those integrations pull tickets from the delivery apps into your POS, and how they are billed varies by vendor across this entire category.
Who is HungerRush built for?
Pizza and delivery. Look at the add on list and the shape of the product is obvious: delivery management, Driver Track, third party delivery integrations, a rear display terminal, a kitchen display. That is a stack for a shop running its own drivers with a dispatch board and a phone that never stops. If that is your operation, HungerRush is aimed squarely at you and the flat card rate fits the channel mix that comes with it.
It is a heavier system than a single counter service location needs, and like any POS it does not change what the delivery apps take. Marketplace commission runs 15% to 30% base, closer to 25% to 35% blended once delivery, marketing and processing fees stack. A POS that integrates those orders makes them easier to manage, not cheaper.
How Zayos prices the ordering side
Zayos is $499 Operator, $599 Operator plus Marketplace or $699 Concierge, per location per month, month to month, with no setup fee. The per order charge is paid by the diner at checkout, $0.99 pickup, $2.99 delivery, $0 dine in and 10% on catering, and the restaurant keeps 100% of food revenue and 100% of tips. At $599, Otter pulls Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub tickets onto the same kitchen tablet as direct orders. Naya Grill in Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach runs this today and keeps $48k+ a year that used to leave as commission.
The boundary is worth stating twice on a page like this. Zayos is not a point of sale, not a card processor and not a driver dispatch system. If your terminal is dying or your drivers need a tracking board, that is a POS purchase and HungerRush sells one. Zayos is what you add when the POS is fine and the commission is the problem.

The $50,000 monthly volume example is modeled and states its inputs. The 3.09% plus 15 cents rate applied to it is HungerRush's published figure. Where HungerRush does not publish a number, including the Custom plan price, the online ordering price and contract terms, this page says so rather than estimating.
