Flipdish** - my default pick for UK/Ireland takeaways. Branded website + own-brand mobile app, no marketplace commission on your own orders, solid POS integration and 7-day support. From ~€69-89/month per site in the UK/IE, or $119-249/month in the US depending on whether you want the app. ([startups.co.uk](https://startups.co.uk/payment-processing/online-ordering-systems-takeaway-delivery/), [restauranttech.co.uk](https://restauranttech.co.uk/guides/best-online-ordering-systems-takeaway-restaurants-uk-ireland-2026))\n\n**2. Owner.com** - best if your real problem is demand, not checkout. It bundles the branded site/app with automated email/SMS marketing, loyalty and winback campaigns, which is what actually pulls orders off Just Eat/DoorDash. Pricier: $249/month + 5% per order, or $499/month flat with no restaurant-side commission. US-focused.
