The 10 best online ordering systems for restaurants in the UAE.
Restaurants in the UAE take orders on their own websites, apps and tables through local and regional systems such as Foodics, qlub and Sapaad. Of the 9 systems compared here besides Menuthere, 6 say they take no commission on orders and none has 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 the UAE, compared
Not published. The pricing page lists only per-branch monthly fees, but Blink's help centre says a 'nominal transactional fee' is charged on every order (rate not given).

Monthly or annual billing in Saudi Arabia; quarterly or annual in Egypt and Kuwait; only annual prices are shown for the UAE. The terms say a restaurant can close its account at any time without cost, but stays liable for outstanding fees, and amounts already charged are not refunded.

Month to month; 7-day free trial on Lite and Pro
Not published for the POS (set in each order). Add-ons are cheaper on 1-year and 2-year plans (Sapaad Direct and Loyalty pages), and the Terms of Service say quantities cannot be decreased during a paid term.
1-month or 12-month contract, paid in advance, that renews automatically (terms). The help centre describes a 1-year service agreement. Cancelling mid-term gives no refund. There is a 14-day money-back guarantee on regular-price packages, but not on apps or custom work.
Subscription periods of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months or 12 months that renew automatically. Cancelling needs 15 days' notice for 30- or 90-day periods, 30 days for 6 months and 90 days for 12 months. Fees are non-refundable, and Deliverect can raise fees with 30 days' notice (terms of service, help centre).
Semi-annual or annual payment terms in most countries (only yearly prices are shown), monthly or yearly billing in Kuwait, and annual or Flexi quarterly billing in Egypt; ordable/ says plans can be changed or cancelled at any time.
The UAE pricing page says "Reject long-term contracts", but the UAE and UK Terms of Service both set a 6-month minimum commitment on every payment model, including SyrvePay. It renews automatically for further 6-month terms unless notice is given at least 1 month before the end. A restaurant that leaves early still owes the fixed fees for the rest of the term (or an early termination charge on SyrvePay), and fees are non-refundable.
—
UAE: billed annually, and the UAE page says 'No lock-in contract'. India: the billing period is not stated on the pricing page. The refund policy for customers outside India (last updated 3 June 2021) allows cancellation at any time: a full refund within 15 business days of signing up, minus the value of what was used; after that, annual plans are refunded according to usage, and monthly plans only if unused. The terms say that if a subscription is not renewed within 30 days of expiry the account goes dormant, and 60 days later all data, menus and files are deleted.

No free plan and no online sign-up: product pages lead to a demo booking form, and in the UAE only a starting price is published, with the exact price given on the demo call (Petpooja Pricing and UAE pages).
If a subscription is not renewed within 30 days of expiry the account goes dormant, and 60 days later all data, menus and files are deleted. Logs are kept for 180 days unless you pay for longer retention, and after the service ends you have 2 days to download your data (Petpooja Terms and Conditions).
Whether restaurants in the UAE can sign up and use it today: a local site, local pricing, local customers or a sign-up open to any country.
What it costs a small restaurant: the monthly price, any commission or per-order fee, and contracts.
What it does for ordering: your own website, QR table ordering, delivery, pickup and payments.
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.
