Can you recommend online ordering and dispatch software for restaurants that want real-time delivery tracking?

Yes — here are solid options for restaurants that want online ordering + dispatch + real-time delivery tracking.

Best-known restaurant ordering/dispatch platforms

1. ChowNow

• Notes: often used by larger restaurant brands

4. Deliverect

• Good for: restaurants managing many delivery channels
• Strengths: aggregates orders from Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc., and connects to POS/dispatch workflows
• Notes: better for order management than for in-house last-mile tracking, unless paired with delivery software

5. Otter

• Notes: useful if you need a central hub for delivery operations

6. Square Online + delivery integrations
