The answer, as recorded

For a takeaway, I'd set up a commission-free ordering system on your own website as the main channel, then add the delivery apps for the new customers they bring. In the order I'd pick them: **Your own ordering (you keep the margin and the customer data)** 1. **[Flipdish](https://restauranttech.co.uk/guides/best-online-ordering-systems-takeaway-restaurants-uk-ireland-2026)**: My first pick in the UK and Ireland. You get a branded website and app, loyalty rewards, push notifications and sales reports. You pay a subscription plus card fees and no commission. The guides I found call it the strongest all-round choice for busy takeaways. ([also here](https://startups.co.uk/payment-processing/online-ordering-systems-takeaway-delivery/)) 2. **[Slerp](https://www.slerp.com/alternatives/)**: A flat monthly fee with no commission, built around click-and-collect and delivery. It suits you if growing online sales is the main goal and you don't need tills or kiosks. That comparison page is written by Slerp, so expect some bias. 3. **[GloriaFood](https://www.gloriafood.com/)**: The cheapest way to start. The core ordering and table reservations are free with unlimited orders, and it's quick to set up. It's good for small shops and trial runs, with less polish than paid tools. ([reviews](https://www.capterra.com/p/198378/GloriaFood/reviews/)) 4. **[DoorDash Online Ordering](https://www.owner.com/blog/online-ordering-system-for-restaurants)**: Worth it mainly if you're in the US. It has no monthly fee and no commission on direct orders, and it sends orders to supported tills. 5. **[Ressto](https://ressto.co/blog/best-online-ordering-systems-for-restaurants/)** or **Hungrrr**: Ressto's free plan covers ordering, a website and QR ordering. Hungrrr offers branded apps and web ordering. Both are budget alternatives to the options above. ([source](https://www.therestauranthq.com/technology/online-ordering-system/)) **Delivery apps (for reach, not margin)** 6. **[Just Eat](https://www.merchantswitch.com/blog/delivery-platform-comparison-uk)**: Usually the lowest commission of the three, around 14-22%, and closer to 14% if you do your own delivery. It's the biggest app for traditional takeaways. 7. **[Uber Eats](https://www.restolabs.com/blog/uber-eats-commission-fee)**: About 30% if Uber delivers and about 13% if you deliver or customers collect. There's also a one-off UK activation fee of about £650. 8. **[Deliveroo](https://blog.menuviel.com/deliveroo-fees-and-commissions-for-restaurants/)**: It doesn't publish UK rates, and guides put it at about 25-35%. It's strongest in city centres. If I had to pick one setup for a UK takeaway, it would be Flipdish (or GloriaFood if money is tight) for direct orders, plus Just Eat for discovery. Then I'd push repeat customers to order direct.
