Hazlnut review
A paid ordering platform for restaurants adding branded apps and direct ordering.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hazlnut provides direct online ordering for independent restaurants, regional groups, and multi-location brands. It combines branded web ordering with restaurant-branded iOS and Android apps, POS-connected order management, menu controls, pickup and delivery orders, delivery zones, loyalty, promotions, and order-status SMS tracking. The platform is suited to restaurants that want their own ordering channels rather than relying only on third-party ordering destinations.
Pricing is paid-only and organized around two monthly per-store plans. Online ordering costs $119 per store per month and includes a branded ordering website, email and SMS campaigns, unlimited promo-code offers, unlimited orders, no commission fees, and support for most POS systems. Online ordering + branded mobile app costs $199 per store per month and adds a branded web-and-app experience, loyalty, push notifications, rewards, targeted campaigns, promo codes, upsells, menu control, multi-location support, and delivery integrations. The $119 plan includes a six-month deposit, while larger, custom, and multi-location setups may vary.
Hazlnut’s strongest fit is a restaurant that needs both ordering infrastructure and a branded customer experience. Integrations include Clover, Square, Factor4, Loopz, eCard, DoorDash, Google, and Facebook, with POS connectivity and inventory synchronization supporting operational workflows. Its feature set extends beyond checkout into marketing, rewards, dynamic upselling, and delivery management. Restaurants seeking branded apps and direct ordering should find the plan structure relevant; those wanting a free entry tier or a narrower, lower-cost ordering tool should look elsewhere.
