The answer, as recorded

Reading this as "I run a takeaway and want a platform to take orders on" - here's what I'd actually recommend, in order. ## Direct ordering (your own site/app, no per-order commission) **1. Flipdish** - my default pick for a UK/Irish takeaway. Branded ordering site, your own iOS/Android app, kiosks and POS, and crucially no commission per order - you pay a subscription (published tiers run roughly $99-$149/mo for the website tier and ~$249/mo with a mobile app, cheaper billed annually) plus card processing (1.4% + 10p in-store). It's the most mature and best-reviewed of the UK-centric options (4.8/5 across ~113 reviews). Watch the billing - the most common complaint is unexpected charges, so get the quote in writing.

Square Online** - what I'd use if you want to start today for nothing. The free plan gives you a branded ordering page with pickup and local delivery, no monthly fee, and you only pay processing (~2.9-3.3% + 30¢); DoorDash/Postmates courier handoff is about $1.50/order. Less takeaway-specific polish than Flipdish, but unbeatable on risk, and it now plugs into assistant-based ordering (ChatGPT/Claude) via Square's integration. [Square Online fees](https://www.getsauce.com/post/square-online-ordering-pricing-fees) · [AI ordering](https://venturebeat.com/marketing-tech/restaurants-can-now-accept-orders-placed-directly-from-chatgpt-and-claude-thanks-to-squares-new-low-fee-no-setup-integration/) **3. Hungrrr** - the credible cheaper UK alternative to Flipdish, aimed squarely at takeaways, hotels and bars. Pricing isn't published so you have to ask, and the review base is thin (5 reviews), so treat it as "get a quote and compare" rather than a blind recommendation. [comparison](https://www.capterra.ie/compare/156603/1031137/flipdish/vs/hungrrr) **4. MyFoodFast / Order Directly / Smart-Feed** - the small UK independents built specifically for single-site takeaways. Zero commission, flat monthly or per-product fees, cash orders free. Good value, but smaller companies with less support depth. [overview](https://whito.co.uk/research/uk-takeaway-marketing-costs/) **5. ChowNow, then Owner.com** - if you're US-based. ChowNow from $119/mo (Hub) with zero commission on direct orders; Owner.com is $249/mo + 5% or $499/mo flat, and adds an AI site builder, branded app, SMS/email marketing and loyalty - stronger marketing automation, materially more expensive. [ChowNow vs Owner](https://www.getsauce.com/post/chownow-vs-owner-com) · [Owner pricing](https://www.getsauce.com/post/owner-com-pricing-fees) ## The marketplaces - use them, but as acquisition, not your main channel **Just Eat** first (~14% + VAT on self-delivery, up to ~30% if they deliver), then **Uber Eats** and **Deliveroo** (~25-35%). On a £20 order that's £2.80-£6.00 gone, which on a 5-10% food margin is more than your entire profit on the order. The standard playbook: stay listed for discovery, then push repeat customers to your own app with flyers in the bag and app-only offers. [commission rates](https://www.dineopen.com/blog/deliveroo-vs-just-eat-vs-uber-eats-commission-2026) · [per-order cost](https://foodanddrink.scotsman.com/food/heres-what-it-costs-a-takeaway-every-time-you-order-via-ubereats-deliveroo-or-just-eat/) **The maths that decides it:** direct ordering costs £30-£150/mo and 0-5%, saving £3-£5 per order versus the apps. So roughly 30-50 direct orders a month covers the subscription - any takeaway doing more than a couple of orders a day should have one. Flipdish if you want it done properly, Square if you want it free this week. If you actually meant it as a customer - which app to order *from* - it's Just Eat for breadth of independents, Uber Eats for speed and reliability, Deliveroo for restaurant quality in cities; and ordering from the takeaway's own site is usually cheaper, since they aren't paying 30%.
