Does GetFreeMenu replace food-delivery apps?

No — and it doesn't try to. Delivery apps bring you new customers and handle the riders. GetFreeMenu handles your own direct orders — dine-in, QR table ordering, and takeaway pickup — at 0% commission, so you stop paying a cut on customers you already have.

Is it really 0% commission?

GetFreeMenu does not take a percentage of your sales. The Free plan has usage limits, while Ad-Free and Pro are optional subscriptions. Your payment provider may charge its own processing fees.

Use your actual platform contract and order volume, then subtract payment, delivery and subscription costs. There is no single savings percentage that applies to every restaurant.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. They scan your QR code and your menu opens in the browser — they order from the table or for pickup. Nothing to install for you or your customers.

Take direct orders without a GetFreeMenu sales commission

Customers can order from your own QR menu. GetFreeMenu does not take a percentage of each sale. Optional subscriptions and payment-provider fees are separate; check the costs of your chosen setup.

	Delivery apps	Direct with GetFreeMenu
Sales commission	Depends on the platform and your contract	No GetFreeMenu sales commission; payment-provider fees may apply
Monthly cost	Free to list, but commission adds up fast	Free core menu; optional Ad-Free or Pro subscription
Customer data	Held by the platform	Yours — you see your own customers
Branding	The app's brand and look	Your brand, your menu
Best for	Reaching new customers who discover you	Regulars, dine-in, walk-ins, and pickup
Menu & price control	Platform rules; prices padded to cover commission	Full control, your real prices
Payout	After fees, on the platform's schedule	Direct to you
Hardware	Often a platform-supplied device	Customers' own phones via QR

Compare your actual platform contract, payment-provider fees, delivery costs and subscription charges. Savings vary with your setup and order volume.

The smart play: use both

Delivery apps are great at one thing — putting you in front of new customers. That reach is what the commission pays for, and for discovery it can be worth it.

Use direct ordering for customers who already know your restaurant. Compare the full operating cost with delivery platforms before changing your ordering channels.
