The key difference: the delivery business.
orderbird is built for table service. PayPoint is built for businesses where delivery and pickup contribute to revenue: platform orders flow automatically into the POS, the driver terminal distributes routes, the driver app documents every delivery – and your own webshop saves you the platform commission.
- ✓One screen instead of platform tablets
- ✓Complete delivery chain: order → kitchen → driver → door
- ✓Commission-free own ordering channel
In fairness: Where orderbird excels
orderbird has been on the market since 2011, belongs to the Nexi Group, and according to their own figures is used by over 17,000 businesses. Wireless bonning, a voucher system, DATEV export, and integrated card payment are mature features – for a classic restaurant without a delivery operation, it's a solid choice.
Our honest recommendation: if your business exclusively runs on table service, compare both systems carefully. But as soon as Lieferando tablets sit on your counter or you have your own drivers on the road, PayPoint plays to its strengths – that's exactly what it was built for.
