How does Tablio orchestrate delivery without marketplace commissions?

Tablio runs commission-free direct delivery from your menu — zone validation, transparent checkout, POS order injection, then courier dispatch via in-house drivers, DoorDash Drive, or Uber Direct through a pluggable delivery provider layer.

How is Tablio different from DoorDash or Uber Eats?

DoorDash and Uber Eats charge 15–30% commission and own the guest relationship. Tablio is your direct channel: guests order from your menu and pay you via Stripe, you keep the meal margin, and courier fees show separately at checkout. You can use DoorDash Drive or Uber Direct for dispatch without listing on their consumer apps.

How is Tablio different from OpenTable?

OpenTable charges per-cover reservation fees and sits outside your ordering stack. Tablio table reservations are included on Smart Ordering with no per-cover fee and connect to the same POS-synced menu — book, sit, scan, order, ticket in your POS.
