Deliveroo and Just Eat Fees for UK Restaurants (2026) + Direct Alternatives
UK delivery marketplaces take roughly 14–30% depending on plan — here is the math and a direct channel that runs in GBP with VAT-ready checkout.
How much do Deliveroo and Just Eat charge UK restaurants?
Deliveroo and Just Eat typically charge UK restaurants between roughly 14% and 30% commission on order subtotals depending on the plan, plus payment processing and optional marketing placement. On a £32 order at 25% commission, the marketplace takes £8 before food and labour costs — the same structural squeeze US operators see on DoorDash and Uber Eats.
What is the best Deliveroo alternative for UK restaurants?
The best Deliveroo alternative for margin is a direct ordering channel you control: QR codes on tables and takeaway bags, a pickup link on Google Business Profile, and checkout in GBP with VAT handled correctly. TablioQR offers this from £24/month with 0% commission on direct orders, Square and Lightspeed sync, and Stripe Verified billing in pounds.
Does TablioQR support UK VAT and GBP checkout?
Yes — TablioQR prices Smart Ordering in GBP for UK operators, supports regional tax handling on guest checkout, and integrates with Square UK and Lightspeed for catalog sync. You keep guest data and repeat-order relationships instead of renting demand from a marketplace.
