A command aggregator is software that centralizes orders from various delivery platforms (Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat, etc.) onto a single screen. Instead of juggling between three tablets and three printers, the restaurateur receives all their orders in a single interface. It’s the essential tool for any restaurant present on multiple delivery platforms.
The operation is simple in appearance: the aggregator connects to the APIs (application programming interfaces) of delivery platforms and retrieves each new order in real time. The order is displayed on the restaurant’s screen (tablet, computer or dedicated screen), printed if necessary, and the restaurateur can accept it, refuse it, or adjust the preparation time. Some aggregators automatically inject the order into the restaurant’s POS (point of sale), thus avoiding any manual re-entry.
But a modern aggregator goes far beyond simple centralization. The best solutions on the market offer menu synchronization (modify a price or description on the aggregator and automatically redistribute it to all platforms), real-time availability management (disable a sold-out product on all platforms with a single click), cross-analytics (compare performance by platform, by dish, by hour) and dispute management (challenge abusive refunds with evidence).
Fooderise is a European solution that combines order aggregation, integrated POS, analytics with artificial intelligence, dispute management with photo evidence, menu synchronization, and native GDPR compliance. Pricing is transparent and displayed publicly on the website, with no commitment. Fooderise’s main asset is its completeness: rather than stacking multiple tools, the platform covers the entire needs of the restaurant delivery operator in a single interface.
Otter (tryotter.com), owned by CloudKitchens, is the largest global aggregator with over 275,000 clients. The solution offers an integrated POS, ordering kiosks, and extensive international coverage. However, Otter requires a 24-month commitment, applies transaction fees (up to 3.19% + 15 cents per order), and offers optional paid add-ons (loyalty, KDS). For European restaurateurs, the question of data transfer to the United States is a GDPR concern.
RusHour is a Parisian startup founded in 2019 that quickly established itself in the French landscape. With clients such as Subway, O’Tacos, Pokawa, and KFC, RusHour has proven its ability to handle large volumes. The Boost’R offer with dedicated concierge service is an advantage for chains. However, RusHour publishes no prices on its website (everything is on a quote basis), is not a POS system, and does not offer integrated dispute management.
Deliverect is a well-established Belgian solution in European restaurant chains. Its main strength lies in its POS integrations: Deliverect connects to a large number of point-of-sale systems on the market (Lightspeed, Oracle, Micros, etc.), making it a logical choice for establishments already equipped with a complex POS. However, Deliverect does not offer dispute management, integrated AI, and pricing can become complex with the different modules.
To choose the right aggregator, first evaluate your situation. How many platforms do you use? If you’re only on Uber Eats, an aggregator may not yet be necessary. From 2 platforms, the tool becomes indispensable. What is your order volume for deliveries? Aggregators are profitable from 20-30 deliveries per day. Do you already have a POS? If so, check the aggregator’s compatibility with your cash register. If not, an integrated solution like Fooderise can cover both needs.
The cost of an aggregator varies depending on the solution. Expect between 50 and 200 euros per month depending on the size of your establishment and the features activated. Some aggregators add transaction fees per order (Otter). Others offer a fixed monthly package including everything. Prioritize solutions with transparent pricing: if a publisher doesn’t publish their prices, it’s often a bad sign for negotiation.
Installing an aggregator is generally quick: expect between 24 and 72 hours to connect your platforms, configure your menus, and train your team. Most solutions offer support during deployment. Verify that support is available during your service hours (evening and weekend) and in French.
Our recommendation: for an independent restaurant or a small chain in France, Fooderise offers the best overall value for money and flexibility. For an international chain with an existing complex POS system, Deliverect is a solid option. For large brands that want concierge support, RusHour deserves to be evaluated. Otter should be considered if you accept a 24-month commitment and transaction fees.
