QwikEat vs Deliverect: Own Your Orders Instead of Managing Middleware
Deliverect connects your restaurant to delivery marketplaces and syncs menus across platforms. QwikEat gives you your own direct ordering channel so you reduce marketplace dependency entirely. They solve different problems, but one saves you significantly more money.
Deliverect manages your marketplace problem. QwikEat eliminates it.
Deliverect is middleware. It sits between your restaurant and delivery platforms like UberEats, Deliveroo, and Just Eat, syncing menus, consolidating orders into one tablet, and routing them to your POS. It makes managing multiple marketplaces less painful, but it does not change the fundamental economics: you still pay 25-35% commission on every marketplace order.
Deliverect itself charges €49 to €249+ per month per location depending on your plan, plus fees per integration. So you are paying Deliverect to manage channels that are already taking a large cut of your revenue. The tool makes the problem more manageable, but it does not fix the root cause: marketplace dependency.
QwikEat addresses the root cause. Instead of managing marketplace orders more efficiently, QwikEat gives you a direct ordering channel where customers order from your branded page. You pay €1 per order on the Flexible plan, keep all customer data, and build a direct relationship that no marketplace can take away. For many restaurants, the goal is not better marketplace management but fewer marketplace orders replaced by direct ones.
Direct ordering channel
QwikEat gives your customers a way to order directly from you. Deliverect only helps manage orders that come through third-party platforms where you pay high commissions.
Customer data is yours
Every order through QwikEat gives you the customer's name, email, and order history. Marketplace orders routed through Deliverect keep customer data locked inside UberEats, Deliveroo, or Just Eat.
No middleware fees on top of commissions
Deliverect charges €49-€249+/month on top of the 25-35% commission you already pay to marketplaces. QwikEat replaces both costs with a flat €1 per order.
Loyalty and retention tools
Because you own the customer relationship, you can create loyalty programs, send targeted offers, and track repeat orders. Marketplace customers are invisible to you outside the order itself.
No integration complexity
Deliverect requires integrations with each marketplace, your POS, and sometimes your kitchen display system. QwikEat is a standalone ordering platform that works immediately after setup.
All ordering channels in one
Online ordering, click and collect, and QR dine-in are all included. You do not need separate tools or integrations for each channel.

Replace two costs with one flat fee
A restaurant using Deliverect (€99/month) to manage UberEats and Deliveroo orders (30% average commission) on 300 orders at €25 average spends €99 in middleware fees plus €2,250 in commissions. That is €2,349 per month. The same 300 orders through QwikEat cost €300 on the Flexible plan. That is a €2,049 monthly difference, or €24,588 saved per year.
