These are not the same type of tool
The comparison between Food-Ordering.com and Deliverect is a category error — they operate at different points in the restaurant technology stack and solve different problems. Understanding the distinction is important before making any purchasing decision.

Comparison
| Factor | Food-Ordering.com | Deliverect |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Creates your own direct ordering channel | Routes aggregator orders to your EPOS |
| Reduces aggregator commission | Yes — direct orders pay zero commission | No — aggregator commissions still apply |
| Generates new orders | Yes — your own marketing drives traffic to it | No — routes existing aggregator orders |
| Pricing model | One-off licence | Monthly SaaS subscription |
| EPOS integration | Yes | Yes (core feature) |
| Multi-aggregator management | Not applicable | Core feature |
| Menu sync across aggregators | Not applicable | Core feature |
Can I use both?
Yes — and some restaurants do during a transition period. Deliverect continues managing the flow from existing aggregator platforms while Food-Ordering.com builds direct order volume through your own website and marketing. As direct orders grow, aggregator dependency (and the commission payments that come with it) reduces. Over time, some restaurants that go fully direct no longer need aggregator management tools at all.
Frequently asked questions
What is Deliverect actually for?
Deliverect is order aggregation middleware. It receives incoming orders from multiple food delivery marketplaces and routes them to a single EPOS or printer. It solves the operational problem of managing multiple tablets for different aggregators. It does not generate new orders and does not reduce the commissions paid to those aggregators.
Does Food-Ordering.com work with Deliverect?
The two systems operate independently. Food-Ordering.com manages your own direct ordering channel; Deliverect (if you use it) manages your aggregator feeds. They do not conflict. A restaurant using both would have two separate order streams: direct orders through Food-Ordering.com (zero commission) and aggregator orders through Deliverect (aggregator commission applies).
Build your own direct ordering channel
Food-Ordering.com gives restaurants a commission-free direct ordering system — one-off licence, no monthly fees. Start reducing your aggregator dependence.
