Where Deliveroo is strong
How tastie. is different
Deliveroo is a marketplace: customers browse many restaurants in its app, and the restaurant pays commission on each order. It can bring you people who have never heard of you. tastie. is for the customers who already know you: your own ordering website, with 0% commission and no monthly fee. Your customers pay just £1 per order, whatever the order size.
You can run both: stay on the app for new customers and point your regulars to your own website.
What each one includes
tastie.
- Your own ordering website on your own web address, with a free .co.uk or .com if you need one and it is available.
- Your menu set up for you from photos, a PDF or a link. You check it before it goes live.
- A free SUNMI V2 or V3 terminal that prints orders at the counter, plus free printer paper. The terminal remains the property of ACORN RESERVE LTD.
- Collection, or delivery by your own drivers. tastie. does not provide couriers.
Which should you choose?
Choose Deliveroo if you want to reach new customers in the Deliveroo app, or need Deliveroo riders to deliver for you.
Choose tastie. if you want your own ordering website with no monthly fee and 0% commission, your menu set up for you, and you offer collection or deliver with your own drivers.
Whichever you choose, compare quotes on the same footing: the same number of orders, the same order value, and every fee, including card processing.
