The Scale plan costs $99/month and carries the branded iOS and Android apps, loyalty system, and driver tracking that justify a $420/mo retainer, leaving roughly $321/month gross before the 2h/mo of delivery time. Growth at $39/month works for single-location clients who only need web and QR ordering, and the same workspace template shortens the next onboarding to a few days.
- Live Ressto storefront on the client's own domain with menu, payments, and QR table ordering configured
- Branded iOS and Android apps published under the client's name
- Delivery management setup with driver app access and live order tracking verified
- Loyalty points and rewards program configured with the client's earn and redeem rules
- Retainer agreement and handover pack covering the $420/mo managed scope
A real customer order placed through the Ressto storefront or branded app is accepted, paid, routed to the kitchen, and tracked to delivery without manual intervention.
