LevelUp, now part of Grubhub Enterprise vs. SessionM

Works well with Toast POS and Grubhub as LevelUP is fully integrated with both. I would not recommend it with a Point of Sale or third party delivery where it is not integrated.

SessionM is ideal for enterprise restaurants, brands, and organizations to build and drive loyal behaviors via technology platforms. They've built their system via robust APIs integrations, but are now diving into a white label app system that allows smaller brands (100 units+) to utilize their incredible technology in their own brand, as opposed to just bigger players. They're the best at what they do.

Incentivized

• Full integration with Toast POS and Grubhub
• Response time from their enterprise support desk is very fast
• Dashboard is easy to use for managers

Incentivized

• Using data science to determine guest tendencies and actions: their system is incredibly smart and tracks historical actions to guess/estimate future actions, and creating programs to influence those actions.
• Integrated communication platforms to speak to all of our guests within various tactics—email, push notifications, text messages, in-app messages, etc.
• Loyalty management & CRM: creating and managing a program that runs consistently across the system.

Incentivized

• When used to make an app, many updates require a full redesign with scope of work - so app is not easy to update or add new features
• Partial refunds cannot be processed on the dashboard or in store
• The QR scanners break frequently
• The QR scanners will scan a guest's payment, but if it isn't cleared out by the staff it will hold that payment info and the next order will get charged to that other person's payment.

Incentivized

• Some improvement could be made on their integrations process with all platforms (olo, monkey media, etc.).

SessionM was light years ahead of Fishbowl, in the data science tendency assumptions that are built into the system, plus they don't offer an app for your brand to use. You'd have to employ a 3rd vendor to manage that. It's also important to note that SessionM sees ALL guests and POS content in the system, not just loyalty identified transactions.

Incentivized

• Online ordering was up exponentially during the pandemic, at one point all orders were coming in online and the bulk of that was through LevelUp.

Incentivized

• Our work with SessionM has been so incredibly impactful to our brand loyal guests, and the value they bring to our brand. For example, our loyal guests are worth $100+ more than our non-loyalty guests.
