Town vs Zuppler

Zuppler does online ordering, but guests usually order on a separate Zuppler page, and things like loyalty and marketing cost extra. With Town, ordering runs on your own site, and the rest comes with it.

The problem

A template, a monthly bill, and a site you don't own.

Zuppler puts you on a shared template, bills you every month, and keeps you renting, so the site, the app and your customers never really become yours.

  • 🎨 A shared template that looks like every other Zuppler restaurant
  • 💸 Monthly fees for features often split across pricey tiers
  • 🔒 You don't own it, leave and the site and data can go with them
  • 🙉 You still do the work, loading menus and running the tools yourself
Town brings it all home: a fully custom site you own, everything included in one flat price, and we set it up for you, no Zuppler template, no tier games.

The short version

Zuppler and Town both run online ordering. The difference is where it happens: with Town it’s your own site and domain; with Zuppler it’s often a page they host, more like Toast.

Town also comes as one thing, not a core product with loyalty, marketing and gift cards added on. Same DoorDash and Uber drivers for delivery, and the customer stays yours.
