| Fee on orders | 2.5% on online payments only, plus Stripe's fee. Cash orders are free. | Varies; online ordering is often an extra module | Varies by plan | A commission on every order |
| Who receives the guest's money | You do. Payments go straight to your own Stripe account. | Depends on the payment provider | Often no payments on the free plan | The marketplace collects it and pays you out later |
| Menu languages | German, French, Italian and English, translated automatically | Often entered by hand or sold as an add-on | Often entered by hand | The marketplace's own languages |
| Ordering and payment at the table | Included, with your own restaurant website | Often an add-on | Menu viewing is free; ordering is often paid | No. Orders come through the marketplace's app |

When DineEasy is not the right choice
- You need a certified cash register outside Switzerland. DineEasy's built-in till is offered in Switzerland and Liechtenstein only.
- You need couriers. DineEasy handles dine-in and takeaway orders, not delivery drivers.
- You need stock control, staff rotas or accounting in one suite. A full POS suite covers those.
