Resto

Resto is a cloud-based online ordering service for South African restaurants that need a website where customers can place delivery or collection orders from any internet-connected device.

Key capabilities include:

• Restaurant website and online shop setup, including adding the menu and configuring the shop to the restaurant’s needs
• Order and customer management, with access to customer and order information, the ability to edit details, and add order notes
• Flexible order delivery to staff, with orders sent to email or WhatsApp, plus a QR code that directs customers to the shop
• Online payments via Yoco or Payfast, connected directly to the restaurant’s account; the service states it does not charge commission per order

Available on Web for the ordering shop and administration, plus an Android mobile app for order notifications and automatic printing to a connected Bluetooth thermal printer (the Android app connects via the shop’s API settings).

Built for restaurants and other product-ordering businesses as the primary users, with end customers using the online shop to place orders for collection or delivery.

Notable in the local market for being built in South Africa for South Africa, offering set monthly pricing (listed as R1000/month per shop), optional white-label custom domain mapping and brand styling (listed as R5000 once-off), and an Android auto-printing app at no additional cost. Pricing information appears in multiple places online, so current fees should be confirmed with Resto.
