Uber Eats alternative
An Uber Eats alternative, especially after the 2026 fee increase
Uber Eats' UK pricing is 30% when they deliver, 13% for self-delivery or pickup, plus a one-off £650 activation fee — and in March 2026 it raised rates again (the entry tier moved 15%→20%, and Uber One orders can carry up to 30%). VoiceMenu is the commission-free alternative: your own ordering, till and delivery, no per-order cut to us.

Why the 2026 increase is the tipping point
Uber Eats raised marketplace fees in March 2026 — the entry tier from 15% to 20%, with Uber One orders up to 30%. When a platform can move your costs unilaterally, the case for owning your own ordering channel gets stronger every year.
What you get with VoiceMenu
Your own branded ordering site, a browser-based till with no POS licence, kitchen and driver screens, your own delivery zones, and your customer data kept yours — a flat monthly fee plus your own card processor, with no commission to us and no per-order fee rises.
Use Uber Eats for reach, your site for repeats
Uber Eats has scale for discovery. Keep it for that if it works — and move your repeat customers to your own commission-free site, where the 30% stays in your till.
