Donewell vs Xenia
Xenia does not publish its prices; its plans lead to a demo or to sales. Donewell’s is on the page — $9.95 a month or $99 a year for one location, with your whole crew on it — and you can start tonight without talking to anyone. Every item signed off by name, photo proof where it matters, and a morning email of anything missed.

Why restaurants choose Donewell over Xenia
- Proof, not initials. Every item is signed off on a phone by a named person, with the time it was done. The items that matter take a photo with the camera opened right on the item.
- One flat price for the whole crew. $9.95 a month or $99 a year for one location. No per-user fee, so you never think twice about adding the dishwasher or the new closer.
- Works where kitchens are. Sign-offs save on the phone first and send when there is signal, so the walk-in, the basement and the patio all work.
- You find out by morning. One email the next day lists anything that was not done, so you do not have to go looking.
- Running tonight. Pick a ready-made restaurant template, invite your crew by email, and they are signing off at close. No call, no demo, no card for the trial.

How much does Xenia cost?
Xenia does not say. On 23 September 2026 its pricing page listed Basic, Pro and Enterprise plans with “Book a Demo” and “Talk to Sales” in place of prices. With Donewell there is nothing to ask: $9.95 a month or $99 a year for one location, no per-user fee, no setup fee.
Can I get restaurant checklists running without a demo?
