A Smarter Alternative to Deliveroo for Your Restaurant

Deliveroo takes 25-35% of every order. On a 30 euro order, that is up to 10.50 euros gone. QwikEat lets you accept orders directly for a flat 1 euro, so you keep your margins and your customer relationships.

Why Deliveroo is costing UK and EU restaurants more than they realize

Deliveroo's commission structure ranges from 25% to 35% depending on your contract and whether you use their delivery riders. For a restaurant averaging 300 orders per month at a 30 euro ticket, that translates to 2,250 to 3,150 euros in commissions alone. After food cost (typically 28-32%) and labor, many restaurants operate at break-even or a loss on Deliveroo orders.

Beyond commissions, Deliveroo controls your pricing, your promotions, and your customer data. You cannot email past customers. You cannot offer a loyalty card. You cannot even set different prices for dine-in and delivery without complex workarounds. Your restaurant becomes a fulfilment centre for someone else's platform.

QwikEat offers a direct ordering alternative built for restaurants across the UK and Europe. You get a branded ordering page in five languages, QR code ordering for dine-in, click and collect, and delivery support. The cost is 1 euro per order on the Flexible plan with no monthly fee, or 29 euros per month plus 0.25 euros per order on the Basic plan. You keep full control of your menu, your prices, and your customers.

No percentage commission

QwikEat charges a flat rate, never a percentage. Whether the order is 10 euros or 100 euros, you pay the same amount. This is fundamentally different from Deliveroo's model where larger orders mean larger fees.

Multi-language support

Your ordering page supports five languages out of the box. Ideal for restaurants in tourist areas, multilingual cities like Brussels or London, or international neighborhoods where customers prefer ordering in their own language.

WhatsApp ordering

Let customers place orders via WhatsApp, the messaging app used by over 2 billion people. Particularly effective in southern Europe and the UK where WhatsApp usage among food customers is high.

Own your customer database

Deliveroo keeps customer data locked in their platform. With QwikEat, every order builds your customer list. Use it for email campaigns, SMS promotions, or personalized offers that drive repeat business.

Integrated loyalty program

Create stamp cards, point systems, or spend-based rewards that keep customers ordering directly. Deliveroo has no equivalent; their loyalty program benefits the platform, not individual restaurants.

Stripe payment processing

Payments flow directly to your Stripe account. No waiting for Deliveroo's weekly payout cycle. You see funds faster and have full visibility into every transaction.

€1/order

Pricing that makes sense for every restaurant size

Flexible plan: 1 euro per order, no monthly fee, pay only when you receive orders. Basic plan: 29 euros per month, 0.25 euros per order, better for restaurants processing more than 35 orders monthly. Compare: on 300 orders at 30 euros average, Deliveroo at 30% takes 2,700 euros. QwikEat Flexible takes 300 euros. That is 2,400 euros saved every month.

FAQ

How is QwikEat different from Deliveroo?
Deliveroo is a marketplace where customers browse many restaurants and you pay 25-35% commission. QwikEat is a direct ordering tool. You get your own branded page that you promote yourself. You pay a flat fee (1 euro or 0.25 euros per order depending on plan), keep all customer data, and control your menu and pricing completely.
Does QwikEat provide delivery riders?
QwikEat does not provide delivery riders. You can use your own delivery staff, partner with a local courier, or connect to delivery services through HubRise integration. Many restaurants find that click and collect is their most profitable channel and focus on growing that.
Can I use QwikEat in the UK?
Yes. QwikEat works across the UK and Europe. Payments are processed through Stripe, which supports GBP, EUR, and other currencies. The ordering page supports multiple languages including English and French.
What if I rely on Deliveroo for most of my orders?
Start by running both channels in parallel. Keep Deliveroo for new customer acquisition while building your direct channel with QwikEat. Insert flyers in Deliveroo bags, promote your direct link on social media, and gradually shift volume. Even moving 30% of orders to direct saves hundreds per month.
Is there a setup fee or long-term contract?
No setup fee, no contract, no minimum commitment. You can start and stop at any time. The Flexible plan has no monthly cost at all; you only pay per order received.
