eTakeawayMax pricing, packages and alternatives (2026)

Short answer: eTakeawayMax is a UK online ordering system for takeaways, trading since 2012. It charges 0% commission and sells three weekly packages: Silver £10 a week, Gold £14.50 a week and Platinum £20 a week. That's roughly £43, £63 and £87 a month. Hardware, card fees and some features cost extra. Alternatives include Grafterr, Storekit, OrderYOYO, Flipdish and Menuthere.

Below: what each package includes, the extra costs, and how it compares. Facts checked 11 October 2026.

What is eTakeawayMax?

eTakeawayMax describes itself as a family business, serving UK restaurants, takeaways, delis and cafés since 2012. It says it's used by 1,300+ UK businesses. Its core product is a branded ordering website (and apps on higher packages), with orders sent to a Wi-Fi printer, mobile app and email.

Its big selling point is commission-free ordering, pitched as a way to move customers off Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats. (More on that in our Just Eat alternatives guide.)

eTakeawayMax packages and pricing

The packages page doesn't say whether the weekly prices include VAT, so ask.

Extra costs in the small print

eTakeawayMax's FAQ lists these:

• Order printer: £199 inc VAT for Silver and Gold.
• Platinum hardware (15" touchscreen EPOS, caller ID, cash drawer, 80mm printer): £599 + VAT (£719.80 inc VAT).
• Extra charges for 24/7 pre-ordering, more than one menu, or more than one branch. Prices assume a standard evening-trade takeaway with one menu.
• App store accounts: you need your own Apple and Google developer accounts to publish apps. eTakeawayMax quotes Apple at £79 a year and Google Play at US$25.
• Card fees: depend on the card provider you use.
• SMS messages cost extra.

Contract and guarantee

• 90-day money-back guarantee: cancel in the first 90 days for a refund, returning any hardware in its packaging.
• After 90 days: the packages page says "simple rolling 12-month agreement with just 30 days notice before renewal". The FAQ on the same page says you need to give 7 days' notice. Its general terms say an open-ended subscription ends 30 days after your notice arrives. The site doesn't settle which applies, so get the notice period in writing.
• "£1 for 90 days" offer: the offer terms charge £1 in total for the first 90 days, then weekly billing (from £10 a week) starts automatically on day 91. To avoid it, your cancellation must arrive by day 60. The offer is for UK businesses only, one per business, and can be withdrawn at any time.

Worked example: year one on Gold

• Gold: £14.50 × 52 = £754
• Order printer: £199 (inc VAT)
• Apple developer account: £79
• Total: about £1,032, plus card fees.

On Platinum: £20 × 52 = £1,040, plus £719.80 hardware = about £1,760, plus card fees.

eTakeawayMax reviews

eTakeawayMax had no Trustpilot reviews on 11 October 2026. Its site shows a testimonial from a York pizza shop owner reporting about 50 more orders a week. That's one self-reported result. Ask for two or three local customers you can call.

eTakeawayMax alternatives compared

Menuthere: best free start, no contract

Menuthere's Free plan gives you an ordering website and QR codes (up to 50 orders a month) with 0% commission. Lite adds unlimited orders, your own domain, advanced delivery zones, scheduled orders and Stripe payments into your own account. Pro adds WhatsApp ordering, loyalty points and your own riders with live tracking. Lite is US$17 a month and Pro US$39 a month, billed in US dollars, with a 7-day free trial on both. The trial needs a card, but nothing is charged until it ends. Menu import from a photo or PDF gets you live fast. Limits: no full EPOS (in-store counter billing is a POS add-on, US$10 a month), no kitchen display screen, no caller ID, and no Just Eat/Deliveroo/Uber Eats integration. eTakeawayMax Platinum does more of that.

Grafterr: best monthly-priced EPOS bundle

When eTakeawayMax is the better choice

Be fair to it. eTakeawayMax suits you if you:

• want a done-for-you branded website and apps at a low weekly price,
• like flyer design and ads set-up included,
• want EPOS, caller ID and delivery apps in one place (Platinum),
• prefer a small UK firm you can phone.

Checklist before you sign

• Is the price ex or inc VAT?
• What's the notice period after 90 days: 7 days or 30 days before renewal?
• Who owns the domain and website if you leave?
• Which card provider will you use, and at what rate?
• Do you need pre-orders or a second menu (extra cost)?
• Can you give information on the 14 allergens for each dish, before the customer orders and again at delivery? Menuthere lets you tag allergens, calories (kcal) and a halal mark on each dish, on every plan including Free. Keep an allergen matrix too.
