## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short answer: use a **direct ordering platform as your main channel** and treat the big marketplaces as paid marketing, not your storefront. Marketplace commission in 2026 runs ~25-35% (Deliveroo), 30% with Uber delivery / 13% self-delivery, and 14-25% on Just Eat - that's the gap you're trying to close.
> 
> **Direct ordering (your own site + app, no per-order commission)**
> 
> 1. **Flipdish** - the one I'd name first for a UK/Irish takeaway doing real volume. Branded website + own-brand app, kiosks, EPOS integrations, and you keep the customer data and the margin. Subscription + card processing instead of commission.
> 2. **storekit** - London-based, genuinely cheap to start, strong for mixed operations (takeaway collection, delivery, QR table ordering, pay-at-table). Integrates with Square, Lightspeed, Toast. Good if you don't want to rip out your existing EPOS.
> 3. **eTakeawayMax** - 0% commission, aimed squarely at independent UK takeaways (1,300+ sites). Bundles branded site, apps, EPOS, driver and waiter apps. Less polished than Flipdish but cheaper and very takeaway-specific.
> 4. **Square Online** - the easiest and cheapest way to get *something* live this week. Free branded ordering

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited.
