Delivery & Ordering

Platforms that make your restaurant visible beyond its own four walls - for delivery and pickup.

How we test: We compare commission models, reach and contract terms based on publicly available information and update our findings regularly.

New category in progress: We're deliberately starting with a single, particularly relevant provider instead of padding the list artificially. More delivery platforms will follow as they meet our testing criteria.

What you should know about this category

Lieferando, Takeaway.com and Thuisbezorgd.nl are the same platform under three national brand names of the Just Eat Takeaway.com Group - depending on which country your business is in, you automatically see the matching version. Important to know: commission (13-30% depending on delivery model) is the biggest ongoing cost factor in this category - noticeably higher than the tools in other categories on this site. Many businesses deliberately combine the platform with their own, commission-free ordering channel for regular guests, to reduce dependency.

Bottom line: weigh reach against commission

The platform brings real new-customer reach that's hard to achieve otherwise - especially for new or lesser-known businesses. The price for that is one of the highest commission rates among all categories on this site. Our recommendation: use the platform deliberately for new customer acquisition, but build your own channel in parallel (e.g. via Rapidmail newsletters or your own ordering page) to serve regular guests long-term without commission.

Frequently asked questions

Are Lieferando, Takeaway.com and Thuisbezorgd.nl really the same company?

Yes. All three belong to the Just Eat Takeaway.com Group and work identically - only the brand name differs by country.

Do I need to register separately for multiple countries?

Yes, registration happens via the respective national platform (Lieferando for Germany, Takeaway.com for Belgium, Thuisbezorgd.nl for the Netherlands), even though it's the same corporate group.

Is it worth it despite the high commission?

That depends heavily on your existing visibility. For new or less visible businesses, the reach can justify the commission; established businesses with a loyal regular customer base often benefit more from their own commission-free ordering channel.
