Branded website + own-brand app, kiosks, POS and driver tracking, built by people who ran QSRs. Flat subscription rather than per-order commission, and strong on chip-shop/pizza/kebab-style operations. Pricing is quote-only, so negotiate. ([capterra.co.uk](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156603/flipdish))\n2. **StoreKit (SK Takeaway)** - best value if you want to be live this week. Free setup, zero commission, from about £49/month, and genuinely quick to launch. Highest-rated of the UK group in reviews (4.9/5). Good when you don't need a bespoke app. ([capterra.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/203009/SK-Takeaway/))\n3. **Slerp** - pick this if you're a premium/multi-site brand, do catering or nationwide shipping, and care about CRM and customer lifetime value.
