7 Best Alternatives to Uber Eats for Restaurants in 2026
Uber Eats charges restaurants 15-30% commission on every order — 15% for pickup, up to 30% for delivery. With additional delivery fees passed to customers and no brand ownership for restaurants, more operators are seeking alternatives. This guide compares the 7 best Uber Eats alternatives, ranking them by cost, features, and control.
Key Benefits

Pay just 2% + €0.35 per card transaction — no monthly fees, no lock-in. Available in 25 languages, built for Europe. Best for: restaurants wanting to own their brand and data at the lowest cost.
2. Sauce — Delivery logistics without commissions
Sauce (getsauce.com) provides a delivery driver network for restaurants that already accept direct orders. Flat per-delivery fee instead of percentage commission.

Best for: mid-size US restaurants with consistent order volume. Limitation: monthly fees regardless of volume, limited outside North America.
4. Restolabs — Simple commission-free ordering
Restolabs offers straightforward online ordering with zero commission and integration with 30+ payment processors. Launches in 5 days. Supports pickup, delivery, and curbside. Best for: restaurants wanting a quick, no-frills setup. Limitation: fewer features than FoxiFood, less multilingual support.
5. GloriaFood — Free basic plan (Oracle-backed)
GloriaFood provides free online ordering — no commissions, no subscription for the basic tier. Premium add-ons (branded app, marketing) cost extra. Backed by Oracle. Best for: small restaurants testing direct ordering at zero cost. Limitation: limited customization, no own domain on free plan.
6. Owner.com — AI marketing + ordering
Owner.com combines a restaurant website builder with AI-driven marketing, SEO, and direct ordering. Strong focus on converting Google searchers into direct orders. Best for: US restaurants investing heavily in digital marketing. Limitation: US-only, pricing not transparent.
7. Hybrid approach: Uber Eats for discovery + direct for repeat
Don't quit Uber Eats overnight — use it strategically. New customers find you on Uber Eats (treat the 30% as customer acquisition cost), then convert them to direct ordering at 2% via FoxiFood. Include a discount card in every Uber Eats delivery linking to your direct site. Restaurants report 40-60% of repeat orders shifting to direct within 6 months.
