The question asked, verbatim: best online ordering platforms for takeaways

2. Flipdish mentioned
   Flipdish - my default pick for a UK/Ireland takeaway.

   Downside: it's not purely flat-fee - third-party listings put it around £99/mo plus ~7% of order value scaling with volume, so confirm your rate directly.

The answer, as recorded

**Takeaways** (UK sense) usually need two things: an own-brand ordering channel where you keep the margin, plus a marketplace or two for discovery. Here's who I'd actually name, in order. ## Own-brand ordering (your site/app - where the money is) 1. **Flipdish** - my default pick for a UK/Ireland takeaway. Branded ordering site, iOS/Android app, kiosks and POS in one stack, and it's the most battle-tested in exactly this segment (4.8/5 across ~113 reviews). Downside: it's not purely flat-fee - third-party listings put it around £99/mo plus ~7% of order value scaling with volume, so confirm your rate directly. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156603/flipdish), [comparison](https://www.capterra.ie/compare/156603/1031137/flipdish/vs/hungrrr)) 2. **Hungrrr** - the one I'd pick if you already have steady volume. Genuine 0% commission on a flat monthly package, you just pay merchant card fees. Branded app + web, QR/table ordering, loyalty, EPOS integration. At 300+ orders a week a flat fee beats any percentage model outright. ([hungrrr.co.uk](https://www.hungrrr.co.uk/lp/better-than-the-competition), [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/253309/Hungrrr/)) 3. **MyFoodFast** - best value for an independent single-site takeaway. Free branded ordering site, zero commission (per-product fee + card processing; cash orders cost nothing), plus POS, KDS, kiosk, driver app with GPS, and it pulls Just Eat/Uber Eats/Deliveroo orders into one screen. No contract lock-in and published pricing. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1100327/MyFoodFast)) 4. **Order Directly** and **Smart-Feed** - the no-frills UK flat-monthly alternatives. Less polish than Flipdish, but if you want a branded app and 0% commission for a fixed £30-150/mo, they do the job. ([whito.co.uk](https://whito.co.uk/takeaways/)) 5. **Square Online** - only if you're low-volume, a pop-up, or testing. Free tier, trivially easy, you'll outgrow it. ([Chowly](https://chowly.com/resources/blogs/best-restaurant-online-ordering-systems/)) ## Marketplaces (for reach, not margin) 6. **Just Eat** - cheapest headline rate, and the clear winner if you deliver your own orders: roughly 13-14% self-delivery vs 25-30% with their couriers. Still the strongest brand for traditional takeaway categories. 7. **Uber Eats** - worth it on the **Lite** plan (15%) with your own drivers; Plus is 25% and Premium 30%. Best for pulling in new customers you then convert to your own app. 8. **Deliveroo** - the most expensive (25-35% with their fleet, 15-20% self-delivery) and rates are negotiated case by case. I'd add it last, and mainly for its courier network and higher-spend urban customers. All three stack extra costs on top of the headline rate - VAT, payment processing, "marketing" contributions. ([dineopen](https://www.dineopen.com/blog/deliveroo-vs-just-eat-vs-uber-eats-commission-2026), [fooderise](https://www.fooderise.com/en/blog/uber-eats-vs-deliveroo-vs-just-eat-comparatif-restaurateurs)) ## If you're actually in the US **Toast Online Ordering** if you're already on Toast POS; **ChowNow** if you're not (from ~$119/mo, 0% commission, 2.95% + $0.29 processing, plus its own diner marketplace); **Owner.com** for marketing-heavy direct ordering; **Slice** if you're a pizzeria. ([ChowNow](https://get.chownow.com/blog/alternatives-to-toast-online-ordering/), [Chowly](https://chowly.com/resources/blogs/best-restaurant-online-ordering-systems/)) **The short version:** Flipdish or Hungrrr as your main channel, Just Eat on self-delivery as the acquisition funnel, and push every marketplace customer onto your own app with a first-order discount. The commission gap - ~0% vs 25-35% - is the whole ballgame. One caveat on the figures above: commission tiers and monthly prices move around and are often negotiated, so treat them as the right ballpark for shortlisting rather than quotes.
