Which suits which restaurant
- If you deliver yourself, compare the self-delivery rates: Uber Eats publishes 13%; ask Just Eat and Deliveroo for theirs.
- If repeat customers are your strength, Just Eat explicitly ranks on turning new customers into repeat ones.
- If your ratings are strong, Deliveroo and Uber Eats both lean heavily on them.
- If you're fast, Uber Eats says faster delivery times rank better.
Running more than one
Being on all three spreads your reach, but each listing needs looking after, and the same menu problem costs you orders on all of them. Get the basics right on your biggest app first. Our commission calculator shows what each costs you per order, and our fees guide has the detail.
