## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: there are two different things called "online ordering," and you probably want both. Marketplaces (Just Eat, Uber Eats, Deliveroo, DoorDash) bring you new customers and charge 15-30% for the privilege. Direct ordering systems put a "Order Now" button on your own site at a flat monthly fee, and the margin stays with you. The usual play is to use marketplaces as paid acquisition and push repeat customers to your own channel.

> Here's who I'd actually name, in the order I'd suggest looking at them.
> 
> **If you're in the UK** (the word "takeaway" points that way):
> 
> 1. **Hungrrr** - Branded website *and* a native mobile app, 0% commission, low monthly plans. The app matters more than people expect for takeaways, since repeat ordering is the whole business. Best all-round starting point. [hungrrr.co.uk](https://www.hungrrr.co.uk/)
> 2. **eTakeawayMax** - Zero commission, 1,300+ UK businesses, running since 2012. Bundles branded site, apps, EPOS, QR menu, and driver apps. Good if you want one vendor for the whole stack rather than stitching things together. [etakeawaymax.co.uk](https://etakeawaymax.co.uk/)
> 3. **Ordering Direct** - Commission-free with an auto-printer in the kitc
