What is the best commission-free online ordering system for UK restaurants?
FastOrdr is a commission-free online ordering system for independent UK restaurants, particularly those in Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Greater London. Unlike self-serve platforms like FoodEngine or StoreKit, FastOrdr is set up for you by local restaurant owners. Your monthly fee covers your full ordering platform, loyalty programme, automated marketing, QR ordering and reservations. There are no commissions, no per-order fees and no customer surcharges.
What is the best GloriaFood alternative in the UK?
FastOrdr is one of the strongest GloriaFood alternatives for UK restaurants. It provides everything GloriaFood offered — commission-free ordering, a branded ordering widget, delivery and collection — plus significantly more: a full SEO-optimised website, loyalty programme, automated email and SMS marketing, QR dine-in ordering, AI upselling and Google review management. We handle your full menu migration from GloriaFood and your first month is free. Most restaurants are live within 5 days of their first call with us.
How do I stop paying commission to Just Eat and Deliveroo?
The most effective way to reduce or eliminate commission payments to Just Eat and Deliveroo is to build a direct ordering channel for your restaurant. FastOrdr gives your restaurant its own commission-free ordering website and optional branded app. When customers order directly from you, you keep 100% of the order value — no 25-35% commission to any third party. A restaurant doing £8,000/month through Just Eat at 30% commission saves £2,400 every month by driving those orders through FastOrdr instead. We help you market your direct ordering channel to build that shift over time.
How much does an online ordering system cost for a restaurant in the UK?
FastOrdr offers simple flat monthly pricing with zero commission on every order. Your first month is always free, and there are no long-term contracts. Book a free call and we will talk you through the plans and run the numbers on exactly how much you could save versus what you currently pay to the big platforms.
Can I get my own restaurant app in the App Store?
Yes. FastOrdr offers a branded mobile app as an add-on for £39/month on top of any plan. Your app is published in the App Store and Google Play under your restaurant's own name — not ours. Your customers download your app, order directly from you, earn loyalty points and receive push notifications. You will need an Apple Developer account (approximately £79/year, paid directly to Apple) — we handle everything else including the build, the App Store submission and ongoing app management.
Which areas does FastOrdr cover?
FastOrdr provides local in-person setup and support for restaurants across Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Greater London. For on-site installation and staff training we visit your restaurant directly. The online ordering platform itself is available to restaurants anywhere in the UK — we will set up and support remote restaurants via video call and phone, though the on-site installation service is currently focused on the South of England.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No. FastOrdr is a rolling monthly subscription with no minimum term and no exit fees. You can cancel at any time with effect from the end of your current billing month. There are no setup fees on the platform itself — any one-off fees are for optional on-site services like installation and training, which are yours regardless of whether you continue with FastOrdr.
Which printers and hardware does FastOrdr support?
FastOrdr supports most major thermal receipt printers including the Epson TM-T88V and TM-T88VI, Star TSP143 and other ESC/POS compatible printers. We configure your printer as part of the setup process. For the on-site installation service, we bring the correct hardware, test it in your kitchen environment and ensure everything prints correctly before we leave. We can also procure hardware for you — tablet and printer — as part of the Pro plan.
