Who is it for?

We believe in honest comparisons. Here is where each option shines.

TastyIgniter is best for

  • UK and European independents with loyal local customers
  • Restaurants frustrated by Just Eat commission and service fees
  • Operators who want direct ordering alongside or instead of aggregators
  • Owners who want a branded ordering page, not a marketplace listing

Just Eat may be better if

  • You rely on Just Eat for discovery in a competitive local market
  • You want a turnkey marketplace listing without managing your own website
  • You prefer outsourcing delivery logistics to the platform entirely

Why restaurants switch

Own your customers

Build an email list, run loyalty programmes, and nurture direct relationships — not borrowed access through a marketplace.

Your brand, not theirs

Your colours, your domain, your menu. Customers order from you — not from a list of competitors on a third-party app.

Real order data

Full analytics on every order, customer, and trend. No dashboards locked behind a platform you do not control.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — many restaurants do exactly this. Keep your Just Eat listing for discovery while driving repeat customers to your direct ordering page where you pay zero commission.
Link it from your Google Business Profile, Instagram bio, Facebook page, email newsletters, packaging, and receipts. Many restaurants also add a QR code to table tents and delivery bags.
No. TastyIgniter includes a setup wizard and can be running in under 10 minutes. If you want deeper customisation, developers can extend it — but it is not required to start taking orders. Prefer a hand? We can help you set up.
Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Authorize.net, and Square — plus cash on delivery and pay-on-collection options.
The TastyIgniter Marketplace is a library of community-built extensions and themes — payment gateways, loyalty tools, branded storefronts, and more. Many are completely free, and nothing beyond the core platform is required to start taking orders.
Yes. TastyIgniter is free, open-source software you host yourself. There are no per-order fees from us. You pay only for your own hosting and any optional premium extensions you choose.
