The 10 best online ordering systems for restaurants in Australia.
Restaurants in Australia take orders on their own websites, apps and tables through local and regional systems such as Lightspeed Restaurant, Square Online and Redcat. Of the 9 systems compared here besides Menuthere, 2 say they take no commission on orders and 3 have a free plan; the rest charge a monthly fee or quote per restaurant.
Menuthere publishes this list and makes one of the systems on it (number 3). Every figure comes from the companies' own pages, dated and listed on each system's page. How we ranked them is at the foot of the page.

Online ordering systems for restaurants in Australia, compared
Not published for Nomni. Nomni calls Magic App a "0% commission" direct ordering channel. The legacy Abacus online ordering page, still live, advertises $0 setup and $0 monthly fee for online ordering, but says "a small transaction fee applies" and Abacus POS subscription fees still apply. No rate is given.
Varies per venue (agreed with me&u); the Australian help centre says at most 4.5% per order, the same for dine-in, pickup and delivery orders
Not published. The Terms of Trade allow a per-transaction Service Fee based on the venue's monthly GMV, with a monthly Minimum Commitment Fee as the floor; whether a venue pays it, and at what rate, is set in its Service Agreement (Terms of Trade 11.2).
Not published. The pricing page lists subscription fees only and shows no per-order commission.
Not clearly published. The online-ordering FAQ says there is 'no commission on your own orders' and the POS FAQ says 'no commission on orders', but the same online-ordering page promises 'lower commission fees', and the retailer terms list transaction fees set in each order form. In October 2025 RTÉ reported that Foodhub charges a fixed weekly fee rather than a percentage of the order value.
A per-order platform fee under the merchant terms ("Platform Fees in accordance with the pricing plan selected"). The current pricing page gives no rate, only that higher order volume brings lower commission. Archived copies of the pricing page (September 2022 and May 2024) listed 1.8% per order. The terms also allow "penalty commission rates" if the venue's Stripe account is not connected, verified and active, or subscription payments are outstanding.
Contract
Not stated on the US or Australian pricing pages; the Norwegian price list says its price applies to a 12-month contract period
No locked-in contract; cancel or switch plans anytime (US pricing page and General Terms). Outside the US, paid Square Online plans are priced per month billed annually, with a different price if paid monthly, and plans can be switched at any time.
Month to month; 7-day free trial on Lite and Pro
Not published.
Not published. Nomni Pay says there is no lock-in to one card processor ("Switch providers anytime", "No vendor lock-in, no penalties"). The pricing and product pages give no contract length or cancellation terms.
Current me&u venue terms are not published. The archived Mr Yum AU venue terms (last updated 1 November 2023) ran until terminated, let either side end them with 30 days' written notice, and charged a monthly Minimum Commitment Fee when a venue's monthly sales fell below its Minimum Sales Volume.
24-month fixed initial term, unless the Service Agreement says otherwise. It renews automatically for another term of the same length unless the venue gives written notice at least 28 days before expiry. Charges can rise by up to 10% at each renewal. A venue that ends the agreement early still owes the monthly Minimum Commitment Fee and/or Subscription Fee for the rest of the term (Terms of Trade 2.1–2.3, 24.4). Cancellation is arranged through the venue's Customer Success Manager or support team.
Annual or monthly plans (annual billing is cheaper)
Rolls over every 12 months after a first period. Clause 5 of the website terms dated 27 March 2026 sets that period at 8 weeks (clause 6.12 of the same terms calls it four months); the retailer terms PDF sets it at 4 months. To cancel under the website terms, you give 30 days' written notice ending on the last day of the period, return the equipment and pay any balance (the retailer terms PDF asks for 30 business days' notice). If you don't return equipment under two years old, the fee is £500.
Merchant terms (updated 11 February 2025): the subscription has an initial term of 1 year from when the plan is accepted and renews automatically for periods of equal duration unless notice is given; the agreement as a whole renews for successive 12-month periods if no termination notice is given, though either party may end it by written notice. No cancellation fees, but outstanding fees must be paid, and subscription fees are non-refundable. The terms also make Bopple the venue's exclusive online ordering and payment provider unless agreed in writing.

One system for POS, web and app ordering, QR table ordering with open tabs, kiosks, drive-thru, kitchen screens and loyalty. Online and QR orders go straight into the Redcat POS and kitchen (online ordering and QR ordering pages).
Orders from Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, Menulog (Just Eat), GrabFood and Hungry Panda can come straight into the POS, and Order with Google is supported. Its own delivery sends drivers from DoorDash Drive or Uber Direct at a fixed cost, and the Stellar option also lets venues use their own drivers (help centre, delivery and Stellar pages).
Built for chains. The Nando's case study says Redcat moved more than 230 Australian restaurants onto its POS in under four months, and its customers page features Boost Juice, Chatime, Concept Eight and San Churro. Redcat Pty Ltd publishes the branded ordering apps of chains such as Chatime Australia, Schnitz and YoChi (Nando's case study, customers page, App Store).
No published prices, per-order fees, card rates, setup fees or contract terms. Every product is sold through a demo and a quote.

Redcat Pay, its own payment service, needs Polygon POS, is offered only in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, and does not handle pay-at-table, which goes through Tyro or Dojo instead (Redcat Pay overview, Redcat & Payments help articles). Training beyond the initial installation is charged 'at affordable rates', with no amount given (support page).

POS, KDS, kiosk and ordering run as one system. Web, QR table, pickup, delivery and catering orders all go into the POS and kitchen screens, and a menu written once is published to every channel, with up to 15 price levels (Digital Ordering and POS pages).
Uber Eats and DoorDash orders go straight into the POS and kitchen screens with no middleware such as Deliverect. Direct delivery orders can be sent to Uber Direct or DoorDash Drive drivers, and catering orders can also go out with the venue's own fleet (POS FAQ, OrderUp site, Catering page).
The venue chooses its card processor (Adyen, Tyro, ANZ Worldline, WPay, Stripe) with no lock-in. The POS and payments keep working offline, with a 4G backup (Payments and POS pages).

Busy pubs, bars, food halls and full-service restaurants in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US that want guests to order and pay at the table, linked to their POS
me&u is an Australian order-and-pay platform for pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and food halls: guests scan a QR code to order and pay from their phone at the table, and the same menu can take pickup and delivery orders. It also sells reservations with voice AI, a CRM with email and SMS marketing, loyalty and a staff upsell app, through its sales team, to venues in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US. Prices are quote-only: me&u takes a fee on each order that varies by venue (at most 4.5%, per its Australian help centre), and since 1 September 2026 guests in Australia also pay a me&u platform fee of A$0.20 to A$2.90 per order unless the venue covers it.

Guests can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, saved cards, gift cards and mixed payments (Order & Pay and Pay pages); the restaurants page also lists tabs, tipping and Tap to Pay on iPhone.

One menu handles QR order-and-pay at the table plus pickup and delivery, with order-ahead windows and limits per time slot; in Australia, delivery can use DoorDash Drive drivers at a flat A$8.50 (ex GST) up to 1 km plus A$1 per km up to 10 km, with no DoorDash account or setup fee (me&u help centre).
Connects to 70+ POS systems (115+ integrations in total, including Lightspeed, Square, Toast and Tevalis), with loyalty partners Como, Zen Global, Leat and Myne and open POS, loyalty and order-data APIs (me&u home and integrations pages, help centre).
A wider suite beyond ordering: reservations with voice AI, the Connect CRM with email and SMS marketing, loyalty, and the Crew staff upsell app, plus menu translation and dietary and allergen preferences (me&u home, Connect and Order & Pay pages).
No published pricing: venues must talk to sales for a quote, and me&u takes a share of every order (up to 4.5%, per its Australian help centre), so it is not commission-free.
Since 1 September 2026, guests in Australia pay a me&u platform fee of up to A$2.90 per order; venues cannot turn it off, only absorb it from their payout (me&u help centre).
Built around dine-in: its guest terms say items can be ordered only when dining in the venue or, "in some limited circumstances", for takeaway, and it has no POS of its own, so it runs on top of a POS integration or a direct-to-printer setup (me&u terms, help centre).
Australian and New Zealand venues on a supported POS (OrderMate, SwiftPOS, Lightspeed, Square and others) that want table ordering, pay-at-table and takeaway ordering from one managed provider

The standard contract is a 24-month fixed term that renews automatically for another 24 months unless the venue gives 28 days' written notice. Renewal prices can rise by up to 10%, and leaving early means paying the remaining minimum or subscription fees (Terms of Trade).
Fees can be charged per order: the Terms of Trade let HungryHungry bill per-transaction Service Fees based on monthly sales (with a Minimum Commitment Fee as the floor) and add a Platform Fee paid by the customer, with amounts set in each Service Agreement (Terms of Trade 10.5, 11.2).

Stripe pays out daily (Monday to Friday) on a T+2 schedule in Australia and New Zealand; other countries follow Stripe's local payout speed.

Syncs menus and orders with Lightspeed Kounta and Square POS, and powers "Lightspeed Ordering, powered by Bopple". Deliveries can go to the venue's own drivers or to Uber Direct and DoorDash Drive couriers (integrations, Lightspeed and Square pages).
Branded web and native iOS and Android ordering apps at published prices (A$99 and A$399 a month). Multi-store brands such as Gelato Messina and Zeus Street Greek are featured on its white-label page (pricing and white-label pages).
Not commission-free: Bopple takes a per-order platform fee on top of the subscription, and its pricing page no longer publishes the rate (archived copies showed 1.8% per order).
The merchant terms set a 1-year initial subscription term that renews automatically unless notice is given. They also make Bopple the venue's exclusive provider of online ordering and online payments unless Bopple agrees otherwise in writing (merchant terms, 11 February 2025).
Online ordering is not in the free plan, and online payments must run through Stripe via Bopple. A 1.45% fee applies when Bopple has to hold payments because the venue's Stripe account is not connected or verified (pricing and Stripe fees pages).

Menuthere is on the list because it is a real option here, and we put it where its strengths — no commission and a free plan — fit; its limits (such as payments outside India) are stated in its entry.
Nobody paid to be on this list. Prices change: check each company's own page before you sign.
