Grubhub for Restaurants vs. Spoonfed

I would only recommend if GH is fully integrated with your POS, and if you can negotiate a good rate with them. If you have other third-party delivery options, you should shop around and see if they can match or lower their rate.

Incentivized

Spoonfed is well suited for smaller catering teams, it offers the ability to have a large changing menu and for guests to place orders themselves. If you are doing catering business with repeat customers it's quite useful [as] you can repeat orders and save all of the guest's info in the database. I would not recommend it if it does not integrate into your point of sale as you will need to have an entirely different system for payments and sales because of this.
