Problem
Independent restaurants often face high commission fees from dominant delivery platforms, which can erode already thin profit margins. At the same time, consumers struggle to discover and order from quality local eateries without relying on large aggregators that prioritize chain restaurants over independent businesses.

OrderUp connects users with nearby independent restaurants through a mobile app, allowing them to browse menus, read reviews, and place orders in just a few taps. The platform provides real-time delivery tracking from kitchen to door, ensuring transparency throughout the ordering process. For restaurants, OrderUp operates with a simple 4% platform fee, leaving significantly more revenue with the business compared to platforms charging 25–35%. The service is free for consumers with no subscriptions or hidden fees, and every order directly supports local independent businesses. Users simply enter their postcode to discover the best local eateries in their area, and restaurants can onboard in minutes with no sign-up cost.
