## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Reading "takeaways" as *your* takeaway shop (i.e. what to run your own ordering on), here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> ## Direct ordering (your own site/app, no marketplace commission)
> 
> **1. Flipdish** - my default recommendation if you're UK/Ireland. Branded website + own-brand app, 0% marketplace commission, and it's built around takeaways specifically rather than sit-down restaurants. You keep the customer data, which is the whole point of going direct. ([restauranttech.co.uk](https://restauranttech.co.uk/guides/best-online-ordering-systems-takeaway-restaurants-uk-ireland-2026))
> 
> **2. Square Online** - the best "just start today" option. Free plan, unlimited items, no commission, and orders drop into Square POS as normal tickets. The catch: processing is higher on the free tier (~3.3% in some configs, 2.6% + 15¢ standard), so per-order cost scales with volume - great at low volume, less so once you're busy.

> 
> **3. ChowNow** - the strongest mid-market pick in the US. Commission-free direct order
