Which should you choose?

Thrive: Direct-ordering platform so restaurants can take commission-free orders.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud: Enterprise B2C and B2B commerce platform from Salesforce.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
