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. [pricing](https://www.getsauce.com/post/flipdish-pricing-fees) · [reviews](https://www.capterra.co.uk/reviews/156603/flipdish)\n\n**2. 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", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
