MenuDash vs FoodHub
No hardware rentals. No complexity. Just your phone and your orders.
FoodHub: A Big Ecosystem — But Do You Need All That?
FoodHub has grown into a serious operation. Over 30,000 restaurant partners, their own marketplace app, EPOS hardware, self-service kiosks, and integrations with all sorts of systems. If you want the full package — marketplace listing, hardware, delivery logistics — they offer it.
But here's the question: do you actually need all that?
If you're an independent takeaway that just wants a simple way to take orders online without renting hardware or getting locked into a complex system — there's a much simpler option.

📱 No Hardware Lock-In
FoodHub's EPOS system means renting their hardware. That's another cost, another thing to manage, and if you want to leave, you're sending equipment back. It's a commitment.
MenuDash doesn't need any hardware at all. You use the phone or tablet you already have. No rentals, no installations, no technicians, no extra costs. If you can open a website on your phone, you can use MenuDash.
Built for Simplicity
FoodHub is built for shops that want the full ecosystem — marketplace, EPOS, kiosks, delivery management, the lot. That's great if you need all of that. But if you're an independent takeaway that just wants customers to order online and pay — it's overkill.
MenuDash was built for exactly that. Simple online ordering. No extras you don't need. No complexity.
Keep It Simple. Keep Your Money.
Your own ordering site. No hardware. No rentals. Free setup.
