Menulog Alternative
The commission-free Menulog alternative
Menulog shut down in Australia and New Zealand, taking its restaurants' sales channel with it. Own your orders, customers and data with RestApp at 0% commission.
The catch with Menulog
A third-party channel you don't control, and that can disappear
Menulog was a delivery marketplace that took roughly 14% to 30% commission per order while keeping the customer relationship and data; orders flowed through Menulog's app and brand, not the restaurant's. Many venues raised their menu prices to offset the commission, so ordering through Menulog cost diners more than ordering direct. Most starkly, owner Just Eat Takeaway.com closed Menulog in Australia on 26 November 2025 (and New Zealand in May 2024), redirecting partners to Uber Eats, proof that when you rent your sales channel from a marketplace, it can vanish overnight and take your customers with it.
The cost of Menulog
Menulog charged restaurants roughly 14% commission on self-delivered orders rising to around 30% when its courier network delivered, with no monthly subscription, plus a customer-facing service fee of about 10% of order value (minimum ~AUD$1, maximum ~AUD$4) on top of delivery fees, and the platform shut down in Australia on 26 November 2025 and in New Zealand in May 2024.

Questions & Answers
How much did Menulog charge restaurants? +
Menulog worked on a pay-as-you-go commission model with no monthly subscription. Restaurants that delivered their own orders paid around 14% commission, while orders fulfilled by Menulog's courier network ran up to roughly 30%. Customers also paid a service fee (about 10% of the order value, with a minimum of around AUD$1 and a maximum of around AUD$4) plus delivery fees. RestApp instead charges 0% commission on a simple monthly plan, so every order's full value stays with you.
Is Menulog still operating? +
No. Owner Just Eat Takeaway.com ceased Menulog's Australian operations at 23:59 on 26 November 2025 and closed New Zealand back in May 2024, with partners redirected toward Uber Eats. That closure is the clearest reason to build on a channel you own: with RestApp the website, apps, menu and customer list are yours, so your ordering keeps running no matter what any marketplace decides.
Did the restaurant own its customers and data on Menulog? +
No. Like any marketplace, Menulog owned the customer relationship and data, diners ordered through Menulog's app under Menulog's brand, and the restaurant didn't get their contact details to remarket to. RestApp gives you your own branded website and native iOS and Android apps, so the customer, their data and the repeat-order relationship belong to you, not a third party.
What do I get with RestApp that Menulog never offered? +
Menulog was purely a delivery marketplace, no point of sale, no in-restaurant tools. RestApp is an all-in-one commission-free platform: your own branded online ordering website and apps, a full cloud EPOS, e-menu and QR table ordering, loyalty and promotions, a kitchen display system, inventory, and 24/7 support, all on simple monthly plans.
