Ordermeal takes up to 15% per order, owns your Google account, owns your domain, and calls it a service. Cut them out. Keep the orders. Do it yourself in under 2 hours with free tools.
They sell you a "solution." What they actually do is trap you. Here's how.
If Ordermeal registers your domain name, they own it. You can't transfer it without their permission. If you leave, you could lose yourpizzeria.co.nz entirely. That's not a service. That's a hostage situation.
When Ordermeal sets up or manages your Google Business account under their umbrella, they control your reviews, photos, hours, and ranking. You don't. Leave and you may find yourself starting from zero.
On a $45 pizza order, you hand Ordermeal up to $6.75. On 200 orders a week, that's over $70,000 a year. In exchange for... a website and an ordering button you could have for free.
Order history, emails, phone numbers. That's your data. Platforms like this often retain it. Check the T&Cs.
The more successful you are, the more you pay them. Commission models punish growth. Your success becomes their revenue.
Tools like Square Online, Wix, or Squarespace offer free or very cheap ordering. No commissions. You keep 100%.
A properly set up Google Business Profile with a direct order link beats platform discovery. And it's free.
Menu updates, customer replies, order confirmations, social posts. Free AI tools do this in minutes, not months.
