The answer, as recorded
"Takeaways" reads like you're asking from the business side - a shop that wants its own ordering channel rather than renting Just Eat's. Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order: **1. Flipdish** - My default pick for a UK/Ireland takeaway. Branded website + own-label app, no per-order commission, strong POS integrations, and 7-day human support, which matters a lot when orders stop flowing on a Friday night. Entry pricing is around £49/month per site for the website plan (US listings quote roughly $80/month, so check your region's quote). [startups.co.uk](https://startups.co.uk/payment-processing/online-ordering-systems-takeaway-delivery/) · [getsauce.com](https://www.getsauce.com/post/owner-com-vs-flipdish) **2. Square Online** - Best cheap, no-drama start. Ordering, payments, pickup, delivery and QR ordering in one account, and you can be live in a day. Ideal for a single café or chippy that doesn't want a monthly software bill on top of card fees. [startups.co.uk](https://startups.co.uk/payment-processing/online-ordering-systems-takeaway-delivery/) **3. Owner.com** - Worth it if your real problem is demand, not checkout. It bundles the ordering site with automated SMS/email marketing and a branded app, and leans on Uber Eats/DoorDash driver networks at a flat ~$7 per delivery instead of a commission. Priced like a marketing agency though: $249/month (5% per order) or $499/month (0%). US-focused. [getsauce.com](https://www.getsauce.com/post/owner-com-vs-toast) · [growwithba.com](https://growwithba.com/blog/owner-com-vs-toast) **4. Toast** - The one to choose if you need the till, the kitchen printer and the website to be the same system. Commission-free online ordering plus exposure via the Toast TakeOut app and Order with Google. Trade-off: the ordering page is only lightly branded, and you're buying into their hardware. [myrestro.io](https://myrestro.io/toast-vs-commission-free-ordering-systems/) **5. ChowNow** - Built specifically to pull customers off marketplaces and onto your own flat-fee ordering, with a small amount of discovery traffic of its own. Good middle ground if Owner.com's pricing is too steep. [therestauranthq.com](https://www.therestauranthq.com/technology/online-ordering-system/) **6. GloriaFood** - The one I'd name if budget is near zero: unlimited orders, zero commission on the free tier, works off your site, Facebook and QR codes. You pay for the extras (own app, card payments), and support is thinner. [startups.co.uk](https://startups.co.uk/payment-processing/online-ordering-systems-takeaway-delivery/) **7. Orderable or UpMenu** - If you already run a WordPress site, Orderable bolts ordering straight onto it for a flat annual fee; UpMenu is the comparable standalone builder. Cheapest route to "my own site takes orders." [orderable.com](https://orderable.com/blog/best-restaurant-ordering-systems/) One strategic note: keep Just Eat, Deliveroo, Uber Eats or DoorDash for discovery, but push repeat customers to whichever of the above you pick. Marketplace commissions run 15-35% per order, so every regular you convert to direct ordering is close to pure margin.
