For Finnish restaurants and takeaways
Online ordering system for restaurants and takeaways in Finland
An online ordering system lets customers order and pay on your own website, so you keep the order and the customer. Menuthere gives restaurants, takeaways and cafés in Finland one menu for collection, delivery and table orders, with prices in euro and 0% commission on every plan.
Free plan: 50 orders a month and 0% commission. Paid plans from US$17 a month. Find your restaurant on Google to start.

What it does
What an online ordering system does for a Finnish takeaway
It has two halves. The customer side is a mobile-friendly menu on your own link or domain: customers pick dishes, sizes and extras, choose collection or delivery, and pay by card or on collection. The kitchen side is where orders land, on a dashboard, a phone app and a kitchen printer, so staff can accept, cook and mark the order ready.
The difference from Wolt or Uber Eats is who owns the customer. On an app, the platform keeps the relationship and takes a share of every order. On your own system, the customer orders from you and you see their name and number. Most Finnish owners keep the apps for new customers and use their own page (a *ravintolan tilausjärjestelmä*) for regulars.
- 0% commission on every plan. Card payments go to your own Stripe account.
- Euro prices with Finnish VAT (ALV) set per dish: 14% on restaurant food, 25.5% on alcohol.
- Collection, delivery and table orders from one menu.
What the apps charge
What Uber Eats and Wolt charge in Finland
Published or reported rates, checked in September 2026. Uber Eats adds 25.5% VAT to its fees; Wolt, a Finnish company founded in Helsinki and now owned by DoorDash, doesn't publish its rate. We found no legal cap on delivery-app commission in Finland.
| Platform | They deliver | You deliver or collection | Joining fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uber Eats | 30% (32% on Uber One orders) | 14%; 14% pickup | Activation fee, once (covers a tablet/printer, menu set-up, photos) |
| Wolt | about 25–30% (reported, 2026) | Set in your agreement | Set at sign-up; not published |
Wolt is a Finnish company founded in Helsinki, now owned by DoorDash, and it doesn't publish its commission; the 25–30% range above comes from Finnish press and a software-firm comparison in 2026, so check your agreement. foodora left Finland in February 2026.

Worked example
300 orders a month at €30
A Helsinki takeaway does 300 orders a month at an average of €30: €9,000 in sales. Here is what each channel costs in a month and a year. VAT on the Uber Eats fee is worked out at 25.5%; Wolt is shown at the middle of its reported 25–30% range.
| Channel | Fee | VAT on fee (25.5%) | Total a month | A year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uber Eats delivers (30%) | €2,700 | €688.50 | €3,388.50 | €40,662 |
| Uber Eats, you deliver (14%) | €1,260 | €321.30 | €1,581.30 | €18,975.60 |
| Wolt delivers (about 27.5%) | €2,475 | Rate not published | about €2,475 | about €29,700 |
| Your own system (Menuthere Lite + Stripe standard EEA cards) | US$17 plan + €202.50 card fees | No commission, so no VAT on commission | about €202.50 + US$17 | about €2,430 + US$204 (or US$170 on yearly billing) |
Stripe's standard rate for EEA cards is 1.5% + €0.25, so a €30 order costs €0.70. Wolt's rate is set in your agreement; enter yours to compare. If you're VAT-registered you can usually reclaim the VAT on app fees, but the commission itself is gone.
Finnish VAT
Set Finland's VAT (ALV) rates dish by dish
Finland's standard VAT (ALV) rate is 25.5%, raised from 24% in September 2024, and a 14% reduced rate applies to restaurant and catering food and to foodstuffs. Food is generally 14%, while alcoholic drinks and app fees are 25.5%. Menuthere lets each dish carry its own rate, so one bill can mix them. Set your VAT per dish.
| Line | Price (VAT included) | VAT rate | VAT inside the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 × burger meal (food) | €24.00 | 14% | €2.95 |
| 1 × beer | €6.00 | 25.5% | €1.22 |
| Delivery fee | €3.00 | set per store | — |
| Total | €33.00 | €4.17 |
In Menuthere, set the store rate to 14%, mark dishes Tax Inclusive and give alcohol a 25.5% rate. Menuthere doesn't add VAT to the delivery fee line, so set your delivery fee as a VAT-inclusive amount and ask your accountant how to record it. A combination deal that mixes 14% food and 25.5% drink at one price has to be split between the two rates. See tax and VAT settings.

Finnish rules
Finnish rules your online menu has to follow
Allergen information. Under EU Regulation 1169/2011, as enforced in Finland by Ruokavirasto (the Finnish Food Authority), you must make allergen information available for food that isn't prepacked, including food sold for delivery and collection. For distance (online and phone) orders the information must be available before the purchase is completed, at no extra cost, and again when the food is delivered. On Menuthere, tag the 14 allergens on each dish on every plan, including Free, and customers see them when they open the dish. Add a printed allergen sheet to delivery bags too: make one with the allergen chart maker.
Prices including VAT and a receipt. Finnish and EU consumer rules require prices shown to consumers to include VAT (ALV) and any unavoidable charges, so the price a customer sees is the price they pay. State any service, minimum-order or delivery charge clearly before checkout. Finnish law also requires you to offer the customer a receipt (kuitti) for a cash or card sale; Menuthere emails an order confirmation and receipt automatically.
No card surcharges. Under the EU payment services rules (PSD2), businesses in Finland can't add a surcharge for paying by consumer debit or credit card. Build card costs into your prices rather than adding a fee at checkout.
- Allergen information before the order and at delivery
- Prices in euro, VAT (ALV) included, with a receipt (kuitti)
- No card surcharges under EU PSD2
Card payments
Taking card payments with Stripe in Finland
Stripe is available in Finland, so customers pay by card into your own Stripe account. Menuthere never touches your money. Stripe charges its own fee, with no setup or monthly fee on standard pricing, and Menuthere adds nothing on top. Currency conversion adds 2%.
| Card type | Stripe Finland rate | Per €30 order | 300 orders a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard EEA cards | 1.5% + €0.25 | €0.70 | €210.00 |
| Premium EEA cards | 1.9% + €0.25 | €0.82 | €246.00 |
| UK cards | 2.5% + €0.25 | €1.00 | €300.00 |
| International cards | 3.25% + €0.25 | €1.23 | €367.50 |
Most Finnish customers pay with standard EEA cards. Apple Pay, Google Pay and MobilePay, which Stripe supports in Finland, run through Stripe at the same card rates once you switch them on. Confirm current rates on Stripe's Finland pricing page before you sign.
