Partake vs foreUP
foreUP sells all-in-one golf course software: a tee sheet, golf POS, billing, marketing, and its own payments. Partake fits courses that want the tee sheet and a full food and beverage operation together, with orders to the tee time, a kitchen display, and food cost built in.

Where Partake is different
Food to the tee time from your own site
Golfers order from the course-branded golfer site for pickup, to a table, or to their tee time. The order lands on the same POS board the staff already use.
A kitchen display with course firing
Any Partake device can run as a kitchen screen. Items route by station, and meal courses fire automatically or when the server calls them.
Food cost and purchasing in the same system
Partake Costs covers vendors, purchase orders, AP invoices, and counts, and shows food cost from recipes against what the POS sold.
When foreUP may be a better fit
foreUP describes itself as all-in-one golf course software, with its own payments, tournament management powered by BlueGolf, course maintenance and labor tracking, and more than 25 partner integrations. A course that wants those modules on one account, or already relies on a foreUP partner app, may find foreUP a better fit.[1][5]
