About these guides

These guides are for an independent restaurant or takeaway that wants to read the published numbers before a sales call. Pricing pages quote what Flipdish and Slerp print. The ordering roundup includes Owner.com as one of the options, with a separate page for UK restaurants that have seen its adverts. The website guides cover what a page costs, what it should contain, and how on-site search differs from the Google listing.

One guide is a step-by-step for regulars who already know you: how to point them at your own site without assuming you will leave Just Eat. It does not promise a saving. The commission calculator is where you type your own rate. Nothing here is a review score or a growth percentage.
