Ordering.co charges $5,000 to $20,000 just to get started. That's before you process a single order, and per-order fees still apply after your included quota.
Ordering.co is built for entrepreneurs creating multi-vendor delivery marketplaces. If you're a restaurant wanting your own ordering site, it's far more complexity than you need.
Configuration, deployment, and customisation require significant technical knowledge. Spatula is a managed SaaS, sign up and you're live.
Exceed your included order quota and you pay $0.10-$0.15 per additional order. The more successful you are, the more you pay.
