The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Just Eat delivery speed and reliability on marketplace-only listings depend on the individual restaurant's own drivers, which is far less consistent than a platform-run logistics network.; Nory the forecasting that justifies the product needs several months of clean point of sale history, so new openings and recently reopened sites get little value at first.
  • They diverge on capability: Just Eat covers Restaurant and takeaway marketplace, Nory covers Demand forecasting.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Just Eat

  • Delivery speed and reliability on marketplace-only listings depend on the individual restaurant's own drivers, which is far less consistent than a platform-run logistics network.
  • The Grubhub acquisition was written down by billions of dollars within two years, a sign the US delivery market did not work economically for the company even at scale.
  • The parent company was taken private by Prosus in 2025, so a former public company with disclosed results is now reporting to a single owner instead.
  • Fee structures differ by country and even by restaurant within a country, making the total cost of an order harder to predict than a flat platform fee.
  • Brand fragmentation across Just Eat, Lieferando and Thuisbezorgd means account, loyalty points and order history do not necessarily carry over if you move between the markets that use different local names.

Nory

  • The forecasting that justifies the product needs several months of clean point of sale history, so new openings and recently reopened sites get little value at first.
  • It replaces scheduling, stock and reporting together, which makes adoption an all or nothing project rather than a tool a single manager can trial.
  • Employment rules and rota compliance are built for the United Kingdom and Ireland, so groups with United States or continental European sites will find gaps.
  • The vendor is young and its integration list is short, so an operator on a less common point of sale or payroll provider may be waiting on a build.
  • Pricing is per site, which means small satellite units and kiosks cost the same as flagship venues despite far simpler operations.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Just Eat: Is Just Eat the same company as Grubhub?

It was; Just Eat Takeaway.com bought Grubhub in 2021 but sold it to Wonder Group in 2024 after large write-downs.

Nory: How much sales history does it need to forecast well?

Several months at minimum. With less than that the forecast is not reliable enough to size rotas or orders against.

Just Eat: Why does the app have a different name in some countries?

Just Eat Takeaway.com operates local brands such as Lieferando in Germany and Austria and Thuisbezorgd in the Netherlands, all on shared underlying technology.

Nory: Does it do payroll?

No. It produces the rota, hours and labour cost, and exports to payroll rather than running it.

Just Eat: Is Just Eat still a publicly listed company?

No. Prosus took Just Eat Takeaway.com private in a 2025 acquisition.

Nory: Is it usable outside the United Kingdom and Ireland?

It can be, but the employment rules, compliance logic and integration coverage are built around those markets.

Nory: Does it replace my point of sale?

No. It reads sales from the point of sale and sits above it as the operations and reporting layer.
