More detail
Updated 9 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
Ressto is a commission-free ordering system with a free plan capped at 100 orders a month and paid plans priced in US dollars. Chefzi also charges 0% commission, but bills in pounds from £9 a month per location billed annually (£12 monthly, excluding VAT), with unlimited orders on every plan and a free first month with no credit card. Here is how the two compare on the figures each company publishes.
Ressto and Chefzi both sell commission-free online ordering to UK restaurants and takeaways. Neither takes a percentage of your orders. This page sets out what each company publishes, so you can pick the one that fits your shop.
Ressto's figures below come from its own pricing and UK pages, read on 26 October 2026. Prices change, so check Ressto's pricing page before you decide.
The short version
- Both: 0% commission ever, no setup fee, ordering site, QR table ordering and table reservations.
- Chefzi: From £9 a month per location billed annually (£12 if billed monthly) (pounds, excluding VAT). Orders are unlimited. Migration from Ressto is free: we move your menu for you. See Chefzi pricing.
Pricing side by side
| Ressto | Chefzi | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on orders | 0% | 0% |
| Setup fee | None | None |
| Free option | Basic: free, up to 100 orders a month, 200 menu items, 10 QR codes, cash only | First month free, then from £9 a month billed annually (£12 if billed monthly) |
| Cash-only ordering | Free (up to 100 orders a month) | From £9 per location per month |
| Billing currency | US dollars, including taxes | Pounds, excluding VAT |
| Contract | Cancel any time | Month to month |
Two things are worth working out with your own numbers.
Order volume. A busy takeaway can pass 100 orders in a week or two. Ressto says that when you exceed 100 orders on Basic you get a notice and can upgrade in one click. If you already do more than 100 online orders a month, compare Ressto's Growth plan, not Ressto's free tier, with Chefzi's plans (from £9 a month). Chefzi has no order cap: orders are unlimited.
Currency. Ressto's paid plans are priced in dollars, so the pound cost moves with the exchange rate. Chefzi bills a fixed pound amount. Ressto states its prices include taxes; Chefzi's exclude VAT, so add 20% if you are VAT-registered and comparing like for like.
What each one includes
Orders arrive in the Chefzi order app on the phone or tablet you already have (Android now; the iOS app is included when it launches), which rings until someone accepts or rejects the order. You can connect your own domain or embed ordering into a site you already have.
Who each one suits
- A small café or new takeaway doing under 100 online orders a month, happy to take cash: Ressto's free plan costs nothing to run.
- A restaurant leaving GloriaFood before it closes on 30 April 2027: both offer a route. Chefzi includes the menu move, covered in moving from GloriaFood.
Working out what you save
Whichever system you pick, the saving against a delivery app comes from the commission you stop paying on orders that move to your own site. Put your own order count and average spend into the commission calculator to see the figure for your shop, then subtract the monthly fee of the system you choose.
If you also need a till at the counter, the Epos Now alternative page compares Chefzi POS with a hardware-bundle EPOS, and Chefzi POS shows what the browser till does.
Switching to Chefzi
- Send us your current menu, or a link to it. Migration is free, from Ressto, GloriaFood or any other provider.
- We set up your ordering site, delivery zones and table QR codes, and you check them.
- Install the Chefzi app on your phone or tablet and place a test order.
- Point your domain or your Google listing's order link at the new site, then close the old account.
