Branded website *and* a white-label app under your own name, built specifically around takeaway (collection windows, delivery zones, loyalty), and their 24/7 support is the thing operators consistently praise. Roughly £49/month per site billed annually (£69 monthly) for web ordering, ~£79/month annually with your own app. ([flipdish.com](https://www.flipdish.com/branded-app), [capterra.co.uk](https://www.capterra.co.uk/reviews/156603/flipdish))\n\n2. **Slerp** - the one I'd put head-to-head with Flipdish if you're London-based or doing more than plain delivery.
