## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Answering for the case you're running a takeaway and want to take orders yourself (rather than looking for somewhere to order dinner from). The big decision isn't really the software - it's **direct ordering vs. marketplace**: Just Eat/Deliveroo/Uber Eats/DoorDash bring you demand but take roughly 25-35% and own the customer; your own ordering channel costs £20-£300/month flat and keeps the margin and the data. Most takeaways end up running both, and shifting repeat customers to direct.

> **If you're in the UK or Ireland:**
> 
> 1. **Flipdish** - my default recommendation for a volume takeaway. Branded website + own-brand app, built specifically for the chippy/pizza/kebab end of the market, good kitchen and driver handling, and it's designed around pulling customers off the aggregators. Costs more than a plugin but it's the one that behaves like a real ordering business.
> 2. **Square Online** - the cheapest, fastest way to start if you're independent and low-volume. No monthly fee for ordering; you just pay card processing (~2.9% + 30p/30¢). If you're not sure you'll stick with it, start here.
> 3. **Slerp** - flat monthly fee, commission-free, and the polish suits premium/deli/bakery-styl
