## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd think about it - there are really two separate products people mean by "online ordering," and most takeaways end up running both.
> 
> ## Your own ordering (0% commission, you keep the customer)
> 
> **1. Flipdish** - my default recommendation for a UK/Ireland takeaway. Dublin-based, built specifically for takeaways and QSR rather than adapted from a US restaurant product, and it gives you a branded site plus your own app. From about €69/month per site billed annually.
> 
> **2. storekit** - the best low-risk starting point if you already have a till you're happy with. Free plan, no commission, bolts ordering onto your existing setup instead of replacing it.
> 
> **3. Square (Square Online / Square for Restaurants)** - best if you're new or small and want one vendor for card payments, POS and ordering. Free plan with no commission; you only really pay card processing.
> 
> **4. GloriaFood** - cheapest way to get ordering live at all. Free core system, no monthly fee or commission; the branded app and a few extras are paid add-ons. Basic, but hard to argue with the price.
> 
> **5. ChowNow** - the strongest pick in the US, mainly because it plugs into both Toast and Square, so you don't have
