The answer, as recorded

Answering for a takeaway owner choosing a platform (rather than a diner picking an app). Region matters a lot here, so I've flagged where each one is strongest. ## Your own ordering site/app - where the margin is **1. Flipdish** - my first pick for a standalone takeaway, especially UK/Ireland. Purpose-built for takeaway rather than retrofitted from e-commerce: own-branded website and app, delivery zones with per-zone fees and minimums, loyalty/marketing built in. Listed pricing is around $99/month plus a per-order fee scaling with volume, plus card processing - confirm with sales, as they quote per site. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/156603/flipdish)) **2. StoreKit** - best UK option if you want to spend nothing to start. Free tier and free trial, genuinely commission-free paid plans, clean checkout, quick to launch. Strong reviews (4.9/5). Good first move if you're currently 100% dependent on Just Eat. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/alternatives/203009/sk-takeaway)) **3. Square Online + Square POS** - the pragmatic default if you have no POS yet or run a small single-site shop. Ordering page, POS, card reader and payouts all from one vendor; you mostly just pay card processing. Less takeaway-specific than Flipdish, but nothing else is this easy to set up or this cheap to keep running. **4. ChowNow** - the one I'd name in the US. Flat monthly fee (from roughly $119/month), zero commission on orders, and it integrates with 23+ POS systems including Toast, Square and Oracle MICROS, so it slots into whatever you already run. ([startups.co.uk](https://startups.co.uk/payment-processing/online-ordering-systems-takeaway-delivery/)) **5. Slerp** - worth a look in the UK if you need couriers without joining a marketplace: flat monthly fee, commission-free, with native integrations to Deliveroo Express, Uber Direct and Stuart. Lets you offer delivery on your own site while someone else drives. ([jamezz.com](https://jamezz.com/blog/commission-free-online-ordering)) **6. OrderYOYO** - relevant if you want the branded app plus someone actively running your marketing. Heavier on account management than the self-serve tools above; the trade-off is cost and lock-in, so read the contract term. ## Marketplaces - for discovery, not margin **7. Just Eat, then Uber Eats / Deliveroo.** Treat these as paid acquisition, not your ordering system. Just Eat is usually the cheapest headline rate at roughly 10-14% if you deliver yourself, rising to about 30% when they supply the driver; Uber Eats and Deliveroo sit around 15-30% depending on tier, with each app layering on its own fees. ([dineopen.com](https://www.dineopen.com/blog/deliveroo-vs-just-eat-vs-uber-eats-commission-2026), [fooderise.com](https://www.fooderise.com/en/blog/uber-eats-vs-deliveroo-vs-just-eat-comparatif-restaurateurs)) **What I'd actually do:** list on one or two marketplaces for reach, run Flipdish or StoreKit as your own channel, and push repeat customers there with flyers in the bag and a discount code - a 25%-commission order and a 0%-commission order look identical to the customer but not to you. One caveat: the monthly prices above come from vendor and review-aggregator listings and move around, and nearly all of these quote per-site deals. Get written quotes from your top two before signing, and check the notice period.
