In 2023 a BentoBox site was a subscription you could buy on its own. Today its pricing page reads "BentoBox is now Clover" and states that its products are available only to Clover POS customers. If you run Toast, Square, SpotOn or a cash drawer, the price of a BentoBox website now includes replacing your register.
BentoBox does not publish a price any more. Its pricing page states that BentoBox is now Clover, that its products and services are "only available to Clover POS customers", and it points existing customers to a success manager. There is no plan, no tier and no dollar figure on the page.
That changes the question. It is no longer "what does the website cost" — it is "what does switching my point of sale cost", and the invoice has four lines before a website appears:
For scale, this is what BentoBox last published as a standalone product, before the Clover bundle (2023):
Third parties report lower numbers — about $119 a month for a website-only plan, $279 (Foundations) and $479 (Signature) for packages, and ordering at about $49 a month plus $0.99 an order and around 3% card processing. Treat those as reported: BentoBox publishes none of them today, and two restaurants on the same logo can be quoted differently.
And that is the old price list, before the Clover requirement. Today the comparable number is a Clover quote that includes a register you may already own — which is why the useful thing to ask for is not a price but a line-item quote: hardware, software plan, processing rate, each module.
| BentoBox | ShopLaunch | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | No published price. Sold with Clover: last list was $149–$249/mo + $1,000–$1,500 setup | $49 / $199 / $499, once |
| What you must already have | A Clover POS — their page says BentoBox products are available only to Clover POS customers | Nothing. Any register, or none |
| Changing POS later | Re-quote; the site sits inside the bundle you would be leaving | Your page does not know which register you use |
| Who builds it | You, inside their builder — or their design team on a paid tier | We do, from one five-minute form |
| Online ordering | A paid module (reported $49/mo + $0.99 an order + ~3% cards) | Not offered — we do not take payments |
| Events, catering, gift cards, reservations | Modules BentoBox sells and we do not | None of that |
| Time to live | Their site says under a week once started; the Clover hardware comes first | 24 hours |
| What you keep | A site hosted in their ecosystem | The page, the PDFs, the PNGs |
| Contract | Ask for the Clover term in writing — not published | No contract |
BentoBox figures are the 2023 published list, the last it printed, plus the reported figures named above; the current product is quote-only. ShopLaunch prices are the ones on this site, in US dollars, before tax.
A comparison page that says the other product is bad at everything is not worth reading. BentoBox is a serious restaurant platform, and it does things a one-page site does not.

Yes, as part of Clover. BentoBox's pricing page now reads "BentoBox is now Clover" and states that BentoBox products and services are currently only available to Clover POS customers. Existing customers are routed to their success manager or hello@getbento.com.
Ask them directly, and get the answer in writing: what happens to your site if you stay on your current register, what a Clover move would cost in hardware and processing, and what the term is. We cannot answer it for them, and a page that guessed would be worse than useless.
No. The page, the menu and the QR codes work with any register, or with none. If you later change POS — Clover, Toast, Square, SpotOn — the page does not change.
Ours is one page built around your photos, your prices and your hours, written for your shop — not a theme with your logo dropped in. It will not be a multi-page brand system, and if that is what you are buying, BentoBox's design tier is the right product.
Polar Software, Inc., our merchant of record, takes it on their checkout page. Your card details are entered there, never on this site, and they handle the receipt and the tax. We never see your card number.

Want all four on one page? The 2026 cost comparison puts them side by side.
Send your shop once. We build the page, the QR menu, the posters and the posts, and hand it back the next business day. If you already pay a platform for a page like this, this is the line you can take off the bill.
