Compare online ordering systems for restaurants: Same orders, different owner.
We compare Tekeats with the apps and systems you already know, on how each one works and what you keep. Never on their rates.

How we compare
How we compare, and what we leave out
Tekeats writes these pages and sells one of the products compared. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.
Public pages, dated
We read the other company's own pages and show the date we last checked them.
No rates, ever
Rates differ by contract and country and they change, so we describe how each one charges.
No ratings or scores
We have none yet and theirs change daily. Every table uses plain words.
We say where they are ahead
Each comparison opens with what the other product does that we do not.
Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.

Facts on this page checked 31 October 2026.
Just Eat, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, GloriaFood and the other names on these pages are trade marks of their owners. Tekeats is not connected with or endorsed by any of them. We sell Tekeats, and we say so.
Why do you not show what Just Eat or Deliveroo charge?
Because your rate is in your contract, it is not the same as the next restaurant's, and their terms change. Our guide to whether a delivery app is worth it works from your own statement instead.
Are these comparisons independent?
No. Tekeats writes them and sells one of the products compared. We say where the other product is ahead, quote no rates or ratings, and date every fact.
Can I use Tekeats and stay on the delivery apps?
Yes. Most restaurants run both and move their regulars to their own site over time. Tekeats integrates with the delivery partners you already use, so ask us about yours on your demo.
What is the difference between a marketplace and an online ordering system?
A marketplace lists you next to other restaurants, finds the customer, takes the payment and keeps the customer record. An online ordering system runs on your own website and app, the customer and the card money stay with you, and you pay for the software.
What do they do that Tekeats does not?
Tekeats has no courier network and does not put you in front of new customers in a busy app. Each comparison has a section on what the other product does that we do not, written first and in full.
How often are these pages checked?
Every quarter, and whenever a company announces a change. The date the facts were last checked is at the foot of each comparison, with a way to tell us if something is out of date.
Bring your statement.
We will say if it does not fit.
