Payment & business solution
Route supported marketplace or delivery orders into restaurant operations to reduce re-entry while preserving menu, pricing, status, refund, and deposit controls. Compare merchant fit, implementation steps, limitations, and complete-cost variables before selecting a provider.
Plain-language definition
A delivery integration connects a third-party ordering or dispatch channel with the merchant's POS or order-management workflow.
Day-to-day workflow
Channel orders are accepted under configured hours and menus, translated into POS items and modifiers, routed to production, updated with status, and later reconciled against marketplace statements and deposits.
Implementation
The implementation requirement is specific: supported marketplaces, menu mapping, price overrides, tax ownership, order acceptance, throttling, cancellation and refund ownership, store hours, support escalation, and settlement reports. AMP can document dependencies and questions, but the merchant and applicable providers must confirm compatibility, account approval, responsibilities, testing, training, and support in writing.
Complete cost
integration subscription; marketplace commissions and promotions; processing where applicable; menu setup, support, refund leakage, hardware, and POS modules Compare recurring, transaction-based, one-time, optional, and exit costs separately. A proposal is incomplete if it omits equipment ownership, software term, support scope, or cancellation obligations.
Failure planning
Integrations fail through unmapped modifiers, stale menus, duplicate orders, silent disconnects, marketplace/POS refund mismatch, or deposits that cannot be tied to order-level fees and adjustments.
Decision guide
Compare direct tablet workflows with integrated injection. Integration may reduce keystrokes but adds another dependency; tablets can isolate failures but increase manual entry and reconciliation work.
Know before you decide
Complete-cost view
Only a written proposal and agreement can establish actual pricing and terms.
Owner questions
Map every marketplace item, modifier, tax rule, price override, location, production destination, status, and fulfillment method. Unmapped options should fail visibly instead of silently creating incomplete kitchen tickets.
Use health alerts, order acknowledgements, sequence checks, and a documented fallback tablet or manual process. Assign someone to investigate missing or duplicate orders rather than assuming successful marketplace acceptance means successful POS entry.
Match order-level gross sales, taxes, tips, commissions, promotions, refunds, adjustments, and provider payouts using channel and order identifiers. POS totals alone will not explain a net marketplace deposit.
Tablets can isolate connector failures and preserve native controls, but add re-entry and reconciliation work. Compare error rates, menu maintenance, support ownership, kitchen routing, subscription cost, and operational dependence before choosing.
