How to choose your platform
Potential order volume
Assess each platform's market share in your geographic area. Uber Eats and Deliveroo dominate in cities, Just Eat in peri-urban areas.
Commission structure
Compare the real cost after commission, hidden fees and markup. A low rate does not always mean better profitability.
Operational capacity
Each platform added increases complexity. Do not exceed 2-3 platforms without a centralisation tool like Fooderise.
Existing POS integrations
Check that your cash register integrates with the target platform. A POS integration avoids double entry and errors.
