PICK BISTRO IF

  • You run a real dine-in floor: tables, waiters, tips, multiple locations.
  • You want pay-at-table where the tip is automatically logged against the assigned waiter.
  • You want weekly menus, meal periods, or AI menu import from a photo.
  • You'll grow into multiple locations and want one dashboard from day one.

PICK MENUBLY IF

  • You only need a digital menu plus online ordering for pickup and delivery.
  • You're a takeout-first shop with no waiters and no per-table service.
  • You want one flat plan with no tiers to think about.
