The answer, as recorded
Two different jobs here, and the right answer depends on which you're solving: **marketplaces buy you demand but take 14-30%**; **direct ordering keeps the margin and the customer data but you have to drive the traffic yourself**. Most takeaways end up running both - marketplace for discovery, direct for repeat customers. ## Direct ordering (what I'd actually prioritise) 1. **Slerp** - my first pick if you're UK-based. Flat monthly fee, 0% commission, branded ordering site, and it plugs into couriers (Uber Direct, Stuart, Deliveroo Express) so you get delivery without the marketplace cut. You own the customer list, which is the whole point. 2. **ChowNow** - the best-known commission-free option if you're US-based. Integrates with 23+ POS systems and includes marketing tools; from ~$119/month, so it needs decent volume to pay off. 3. **Square Online** - the easy default if you already run Square. Free tier, no commission on direct orders, syncs to the POS automatically. Hard to beat on effort-to-value if you're small. 4. **Toast Online Ordering** - same logic for Toast users, with the strongest kitchen/KDS integration of the bunch. Note it often passes a ~$0.49 per-order fee to the guest. 5. **GloriaFood** - genuinely free, zero commission, QR-code and social ordering, basic app included. The right starting point if you're testing whether direct ordering works for you before paying for anything. 6. **Orderable** - only if your site is already WordPress/WooCommerce. No per-order fees, full control, but you're maintaining a website. ## Marketplaces (for reach, not margin) **Just Eat** first - commission starts around 14%, the cheapest of the three, and it's still where UK takeaway search intent lands. **Uber Eats** and **Deliveroo** next, both up to ~30% with delivery; worth it for volume and new-customer acquisition, not for your regulars. **What I'd do:** list on Just Eat for discovery, run **GloriaFood** or **Square Online** free alongside it, and put a flyer with a direct-order discount in every marketplace bag. Once repeat volume justifies it, move up to **Slerp** or **ChowNow**. A direct site runs £30-150/month versus £2.80-6.00 commission on a single £20 order - the maths flips fast.
