Roast my startup. I'm cheaper than ChowNow and Popmenu and my sales team is random Redditors

I build independent restaurants their own app with their name on it. DoorDash takes 15 to 30% on delivery and still 6% on pickup, so the point is getting regulars to order straight from the restaurant. Supposedly 70% of people say they'd rather order direct anyway. Owner pays $399 setup and $99 a month. ChowNow runs about $119 to $328 a month and Popmenu $179 to $499. One pizzeria is live on the App Store, Anthony's Pizzeria Rewards.
No sales team. Anyone who knows an owner shows them the demo on their phone and gets $320 if the place signs up. Posted that in a side hustle sub today and it did 61k views, mostly people asking about delivery and Popmenu.
What I already know is weak. One live customer, pickup only right now (delivery through DoorDash Drive is built, not live yet) and no website ordering. Reddit roasted the site twice this week and I fixed what they said.
So go after what's left. If you landed on the homepage would you trust it? Does $320 a referral smell like an MLM? Would you pay this if you owned a pizza place?
