The BentoBox alternative where online ordering isn't a $49/month add-on.
BentoBox builds beautiful restaurant websites, and then bills you separately for the parts that actually generate revenue. Takeout & delivery is +$49/month plus $0.99 per order plus 3% processing. QR ordering is +$19/month plus $0.99 per order. Catering is +$79/month. Munch is free forever, with online ordering, QR, catering, and a website builder all bundled in, plus AI visibility tracking that BentoBox doesn't offer.
Free forever · No per-order fees · Ordering, QR, and catering included
Everything BentoBox bills as add-ons, included free in Munch.
BentoBox's $119/mo entry price doesn't include online ordering. Once you add the modules a real restaurant needs, you're at $328-$528+/month before per-order fees. Munch bundles them all into one free platform.
