If you’re looking for a Popmenu alternative, then you’re in the right place. Popmenu and Sociavore are both products that help your restaurant deliver a better guest experience.
Popmenu and Sociavore share many similarities. First and foremost, they both provide a modern restaurant website with built-in features like takeout & delivery, waitlist, and custom forms.
Sociavore was also built by restaurant owners, and from the very beginning to empower restaurants to have complete control over their website. As a restaurant, you are never dependent on us to make changes. There is nothing our team can change on your website, that you or your team can't change yourselves. Everything in Sociavore was built to be used and managed by all different types of restaurants and their teams, every single day.
