Take App vs Uber Eats
Uber Eats sells reach: a listing in front of everyone nearby, with couriers attached. Take App sells the opposite — a direct channel you own, where your regulars order in WhatsApp and no percentage comes off the top.
All comparisonsWhy businesses pick Take App
No commission and no per-order fee on any plan — the 20–30% simply is not there.
The customer is yours: their WhatsApp thread, their order history, and a message you can send when something new is on.
Your own store, prices and delivery rules, so you no longer need a menu priced to survive somebody else's cut.
Feature by feature
The rows are what chat-first businesses ask us about most. Where Uber Eats covers something through a paid add-on, or only in some countries, the cell says so instead of a cross.

Built for the market you actually sell in
100+ payment methods and local couriers across 180+ countries — the wallets, bank transfers, and cash on delivery your customers already use, not just cards.
Where Uber Eats draws the line
Uber Eats runs in most of the countries a delivery app can, and its couriers turn up. The cost is structural: a fifth to a third of every order, a menu priced up to survive it, and a customer whose number you never see. Take App runs the direct side — your link, your prices, your customer's WhatsApp thread — with 100+ payment methods across 180+ countries, including cash and the local wallets Uber's checkout doesn't reach.
Why WhatsApp, and not email
Across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, a customer messages a shop long before they would open an email. Take App puts the order form, the payment reminder, the delivery update and the follow-up in that same thread — so nothing waits on an inbox nobody checks.
What you get on day one
No add-ons to install, no theme to build — every plan starts with the whole ordering flow.
