Town vs Zing (ZingMyOrder)
Zing bundles restaurant tools with its own consumer food-discovery app, so your restaurant becomes a listing again. Town keeps everything on your own branded site: one flat price, 0% commission, and the customer stays yours.
One flat fee: $300/mo with 0% commission, or $300/mo at 0%. Everything included, no contract.
Pricing varies by plan, often a monthly subscription, tiered add-ons, or a limited free tier.

The real difference
Both are Texas all-in-one platforms chasing the same independent restaurants, but built on opposite philosophies: your own branded site versus a foodie-discovery marketplace.
Zing runs a consumer app and website where your restaurant shows up as a listing, the same “tile in someone else’s app” dynamic Town is built to save you from.
Zing’s “$0/month” framing only pencils out because the per-order fee gets pushed onto your diner, and card processing (2.95% + 37¢) and catering (5%) sit on top. Town is a flat $300/mo with 0% commission, one clean number.
With Town the customer, the email and the reorder stay yours. On a marketplace, discovery, and the guest, belongs to the platform.
