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.
Toast POS
- Free tier limited to one or two terminals
- Setup fees and hardware requirements for paid plans
- Mobile ordering requires additional configuration
- Reporting and analytics features limited on entry-level plans
