14-day free trial on Starter and Growth · 0% commission · live in minutes
Takeaway.com brings you new customers. Menuthere is where they come back: your own ordering website, QR codes and WhatsApp ordering, so your regulars order straight from you, with 0% commission on every plan.
What Menuthere is
Your restaurant's own ordering system, set up in minutes.
- 1
Your menu goes online
Upload a photo or PDF of your menu and AI builds your ordering page, on your Menuthere link or, on Starter, your own domain.
- 2
Customers order from you
From your link, a QR code on the table or the bag, or a WhatsApp message. Delivery, takeaway or dine-in.
- 3
You get every order
On your dashboard and the partner app for Android and iPhone, which rings until someone accepts the order.
It isn't a marketplace: Menuthere doesn't list you next to other restaurants and doesn't deliver for you. The customers who order are the ones you send to your page, and they stay yours.
Takeaway.com or Menuthere?
They do different jobs, so most restaurants use both.
| Takeaway.com | Menuthere | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A delivery app: it lists you next to other restaurants so new customers find you. | Your own ordering system, for customers who already know you. |
| Where customers order | In the Takeaway.com app. | On your own website, from your QR codes, and on WhatsApp. |
| What each order costs you | About 20–25% commission in Belgium. | 0% commission on every plan. |
| Who delivers | Takeaway.com's couriers, on its delivery plans. | Your own staff, with a riders app and live tracking on every plan, or the customer picks up or eats in. |
| Your brand | One listing inside the app. | Your name, logo and colours on your own page; your own domain on Starter. |
| Your customers | They order through Takeaway.com. | Every direct order adds the customer to your own list, with their phone number. |
| Best for | Being found by new customers. | Your regulars' repeat orders. |
How restaurants use both
Let Takeaway.com find them. Let Menuthere keep them.

An example
What your regulars are worth, in one sum.
Say you get 300 Takeaway.com orders a month in Belgium, at €25 each, and 4 in 10 come from regulars who already know you. At 14% commission, those 120 orders cost you €420 a month.
Move them to your own page and that's €420 a month you keep, €5,040 a year.
An illustration with example numbers, not data. The rate: About 14% when you deliver yourself; 20–25% with Takeaway.com's couriers. Enter the rate in your contract. Menuthere's Starter plan, $49 a month, covers unlimited orders. Subtract the plan fee for your net saving.
