Ardoise vs the usual approaches
Compared with the two most common options — pay-at-table apps and all-in-one POS suites — Ardoise brings it all together, with no platform commission.
The 0% is platform-side. Payment and delivery fees stay your partners' (Stripe, etc.): each sets and bills them directly.
| Pay-at-table apps | POS suites | Ardoise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform commission | % + diner fee | Payment take-rate | 0 % |
| Your-brand website (SEO) | No | Rare | Included |
| In-house delivery | No | Partial | Included |
| Connected bank (reconciliation) | No | No | Included |
