The key split is **your own-brand ordering site** (you keep the margin and the customer data) versus **marketplaces** (you rent demand at 14-35% a head). Most takeaways that do well run both, and push repeat customers from the second to the first.\n\n**Own-brand ordering - what I'd actually recommend, in order**\n\n1. **Flipdish** - my default pick in the UK/Ireland. It's takeaway-first rather than restaurant-first: branded website ordering, your own iOS/Android app, kiosks, Google \"Order Online\" integration, and decent reporting/push-notification marketing.

Good fit for chip shops, kebab, pizza, Indian/Chinese - the segments it was built around.\n2. **StoreKit (now \"sk takeaway\")** - best value if you're cost-sensitive. Zero commission, free core tier, you mainly pay card processing. Reviews are unusually strong (4.9/5 across ~100+). Less polished on marketing automation than Flipdish, but for a single site it's ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
