APPY Delivery

Overview

APPY Delivery is a restaurant delivery operations system for coordinating in-house couriers and dispatching orders to on-demand services. It is best suited to restaurants that want live delivery oversight alongside their broader restaurant operations. The key consideration is that the published AppyQR and APPY POS prices are not delivery-specific prices.

APPY POS is aimed at restaurants, cafés, fast-food outlets, food trucks, and other HORECA businesses. Its delivery workflow covers multiple order sources, although the specific channels named are courier integrations rather than a full list of order sources. For a wider comparison, see Restaurant Delivery Management Software.

Key features

Dispatch and tracking

Orders can be assigned manually or automatically through a digital dispatch board. Live GPS tracking, estimated arrival updates, and route optimization give operators tools to monitor courier progress and coordinate work. Customers can follow location, estimated arrival, and order status through an SMS tracking link. Couriers using APPY Driver can receive jobs, navigate, collect proof of delivery, and mark orders complete. This end-to-end visibility is useful for restaurants running their own fleet; businesses that outsource every delivery may have less need for the driver workflow.

Delivery zones and integrations

Restaurants can draw delivery zones and set a fee, minimum order value, and estimated delivery time for each. These controls let venues define practical service boundaries and terms rather than treating every delivery area alike. Named third-party courier options include Wolt Drive, Glovo On Demand, Frogo, and Tookan. APPY says own-fleet deliveries have zero commission, while third-party delivery portals typically charge 20–45% per order; that distinction makes in-house delivery potentially attractive where a restaurant can manage the couriers itself.

Pricing

APPY uses a freemium model, but its stated plans are AppyQR and APPY POS plans rather than a separate delivery-only tier. Treat them as broader product pricing, not as a confirmed delivery module price.

• AppyQR Free: free. It includes a basic digital QR menu, up to 50 products, one active location, and email support. It is a limited starting point for a single venue; the product cap and email-only support constrain larger or support-intensive operations.
• AppyQR Smart: €7.50 a month billed annually, or 9 €/month when paid monthly. It adds unlimited products and QR codes, a multilingual, multi-level menu, and priority technical support. This suits restaurants that need a more extensive menu, but the listed features do not establish that delivery management is included at this price.
• Appy POS: €49 a month billed annually, or 59 €/month when paid monthly. It includes complete POS, an online store and delivery, Glovo, Wolt, and Bolt integration, stock management, and e-Invoice. It is the clearest fit among these plans for a restaurant seeking delivery within a wider POS platform, though its price still does not isolate delivery-specific costs.

Platforms

APPY Delivery supports Android, iOS, web, and Windows. APPY POS works on devices with a web browser, including laptops, tablets, and phones, giving venues flexibility in the devices they use to access the POS.

Who it's for

APPY Delivery is a strong fit for restaurants that coordinate their own couriers, need configurable service zones, and want customers to track orders by SMS. The APPY POS audience also spans cafés, fast-food outlets, food trucks, and other HORECA businesses. It is less compelling for a buyer seeking a clearly priced, standalone delivery product or a venue with no in-house courier activity.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Manual and automated assignment, live courier tracking, customer updates, and proof of delivery cover the central stages of an in-house delivery operation.
• Pro: Zone-level fees, minimums, and estimated delivery times let restaurants set different terms across their service area.
• Pro: APPY states that own-fleet deliveries carry zero commission, an important contrast with the 20–45% per-order charges it attributes to third-party delivery portals.
• Con: The AppyQR and APPY POS prices do not state a delivery-specific price, so buyers cannot isolate the cost of the delivery tools from these figures.
• Con: The free AppyQR plan caps menus at 50 products, one active location, and email support, making it a narrow entry tier rather than an obvious fit for multi-location operations.

Alternatives

GoSufra is worth considering for a restaurant that wants a free forever starter plan with one branch, up to five users, and core POS, kitchen, inventory, and recipe features; it also supports Linux and macOS.

MyOrderBox may suit a venue prioritizing unlimited orders from its own website and POS software for one terminal on its free Starter plan, with a paid Basic tier at £29 a month.

Lunchbox offers free plans for one to two locations, including an SMB option with zero sign-up and commission fees, making it a relevant alternative for operators focused on those terms.

Shipday is an option for buyers who want to try the full platform free for 14 days without a credit card; its free Basic plan is capped at 300 orders per month and 10 driver accounts.

Captain is a paid alternative with pricing discussed through a demo.

Cartwheel charges $99 a month for 400 deliveries, then $0.25 per order after 400 deliveries, which may fit buyers evaluating a delivery-count-based price.

Grafterr Delivery Management has a free plan and a Standard plan at ₹1.18 a month, with unlimited orders and up to two POS terminals.

Olo Dispatch is another paid alternative.

Verdict

Choose APPY Delivery if your restaurant needs to coordinate in-house couriers and on-demand dispatch, with live tracking and configurable delivery zones. Its strongest case is the combination of dispatch, customer tracking, and flexible zone rules, especially for venues seeking to limit reliance on commission-based portals. Look elsewhere if you need a delivery-specific price before comparing costs, or if your operation has little use for managing its own couriers.
