Talabat Alternative
The commission-free Talabat alternative
Stop handing 15-30% of every order to a marketplace. RestApp gives you 0% commission, your own branded site and apps, and a full cloud EPOS.
The catch with Talabat
A marketplace that rents you customers at 15-30% a time
Talabat is a delivery marketplace, so every order carries a commission of roughly 15-30% (up to ~35% with their fleet), plus 2-3% card processing and delivery fees, and you pay extra to rank higher through sponsored listings. Diners order through the Talabat app, not yours, so the customer relationship and most of the data stay with Talabat, not you. There's no EPOS, no branded website or apps you own, and no real way to turn that hard-won customer into a repeat direct order, which keeps you dependent on the platform and its rising fees.
The cost of Talabat
Talabat charges restaurants a commission of roughly 15-30% per order (most pay 20-25%, and up to ~35% when using Talabat's own delivery fleet), on top of card payment processing fees of about 2-3% and per-order delivery fees, with optional paid sponsored listings on top.

Questions & Answers
How much commission does Talabat take from restaurants? +
Talabat's commission generally runs about 15-30% of each order's value, with most restaurants in the 20-25% range and up to roughly 35% when you use Talabat's delivery fleet. On top of that you typically pay around 2-3% in card payment processing fees plus per-order delivery fees, and optional sponsored-listing charges if you want better visibility. RestApp charges 0% commission on orders and runs on a simple flat monthly plan instead.
Do I keep my customer data and relationship with Talabat? +
No. On Talabat the diner is Talabat's customer, not yours. You get order details to fulfil the meal but limited access to the underlying customer data, which makes it hard to market to repeat customers or build loyalty outside the Talabat app. With RestApp, orders come through your own branded website and iOS/Android apps, so you own the customer data and the direct relationship.
Is Talabat an EPOS or a delivery marketplace? +
Talabat is a delivery marketplace and app listing, not a point-of-sale system. It doesn't give you a cloud EPOS, QR/e-menu table ordering, a kitchen display system, or inventory management. RestApp is an all-in-one platform that includes cloud EPOS, e-menu/QR ordering, loyalty, KDS and inventory, plus your own ordering channels, all commission-free.
Can I get my own branded app instead of being one of thousands on Talabat? +
Talabat lists you inside its own marketplace alongside competitors, where ranking is influenced by paid promotions, and there's no branded app or website that belongs to you. RestApp gives every restaurant its own branded website and native iOS and Android apps, so customers order directly from you, you keep 100% of the revenue, and you're not paying to outrank rivals on someone else's platform.
