Also, the good online ordering software DO provide those features. Restaraunt owners just tend to license the cheapest one (or pay their girlfriend’s kid to write an even cheaper one) for obvious reasons.
Because there aren’t developers working those jobs realizing that workers are being worked to the bone because of businesses refusing to add limits to how much demand can come through their door.
I’m not sure why you believe game developers would be better suited to this than people who actually do business software development. And it’s less about what the developers want to do with software than it is about what the people to are buying the software want to do with that software.
I meant more that a restaurant owner isn’t going to see or really get any value from an open source solution vs closed source specifically. They are just choosing a platform at a price point that works for them.
Open Source exists, but it is janky, lacking in features, and literally every single one is used to upsell the expensive proprietary software by the same company that has the features lacking in the open source release.

Yeah… that is nonsense.

Restaurant owners don’t care about Open Source.
Restaurant owners would care about open source, if the offerings weren’t expensive to implement. See my comment on the same level.

And my point being they absolutely would use something FOSS if it worked, because for a restaurant, the less money spent on overhead the better.

The paywall in open source business apps is infuriating. I’d rather they just go full commercial.
That’s due to decisions by the money bags (or lack of funds) and not the competence of the engineers.
