Two commission-free approaches
GloriaFood is a well-known commission-free online ordering system: restaurants embed an ordering widget on their website or use their own app, optionally with paid add-ons. The guest orders via the restaurant's website or app.
bestello is also commission-free but uses a different channel: the guest orders directly in WhatsApp, guided by an AI waiter. No website visit and no app are needed — and ordering works automatically in five languages. bestello also includes a reservation system.

The key differences
Channel: WhatsApp vs. widget
bestello brings ordering to where the guest already is; GloriaFood to a website or app.
Dialogue vs. form
The AI waiter guides in chat; the widget is menu/form-based.
Multilingual
bestello detects the language automatically across five variants.
Reservations included
bestello also covers table reservations.
When each system fits
GloriaFood is a strong choice if you already have website traffic and want to concentrate ordering there — the free entry point is attractive. If you want a classic website ordering widget, it fits well.
bestello is the better choice if you want to reach guests via WhatsApp without them visiting a website or installing an app — and if multilingual ordering and a built-in reservation system matter to you. Both models are commission-free; what matters is which channel suits your customers.
