Yoello is the best-known QR ordering name in the UK. ScanToOrder is the indie-friendly alternative. Here’s a fact-led comparison so you can decide without booking three sales calls.
TL;DR
- ScanToOrder: £0/mo + 2% per order (Free) or £29/mo + 0% (Pro). Sign up online, live in 10 minutes. Best for indie cafés and small restaurants.
- Yoello: Pricing not published — sales-led with a demo and contract. Better for multi-site venues, festivals, and pubs that want Pay-by-Bank.
- If transparent pricing matters, start with ScanToOrder. If you run multiple sites or need open banking, talk to Yoello.

Where Yoello is genuinely better
We’d recommend Yoello if…
- You’re a multi-site operator. Pubs, restaurant groups, hotels — Yoello’s account model and reporting are built for that. ScanToOrder is single-venue today.
- You want Pay-by-Bank. Yoello is FCA-authorised and offers open-banking checkout, which is meaningfully cheaper at high volumes than card fees.
- You need deep POS integration. Stadium concessions, festivals, and busy bars need Yoello’s POS connectors. ScanToOrder will get there in 2026 but it’s not there yet.
Where ScanToOrder wins
You should pick ScanToOrder if…
- Transparent pricing matters. We publish every fee. No hidden setup, no haggling, no contract length.
- You don’t want a sales call. Sign up online, build your menu, take orders. Help is there if you want it.
- You’re a single café, restaurant, or food truck. ScanToOrder was built for you. The product doesn’t try to also be a stadium concession platform.
- You want money in your bank, not a third-party wallet. Stripe Connect pays you direct, daily. We never hold your money.
- You want to start free. Free plan, no card. If you grow, switch to Pro for £29/mo and stop paying per-order.
