TODAY’S CHALLENGE
Digital food commerce is broken for the people that actually make the food
Restaurants make less > You’re paying more
Wantfood is enabling vendors to participate in digital food commerce on their own terms. Reclaiming margin, customer relationships, and long-term value, whilst returning value back to the customer.
We’re not building another marketplace.
We’re building the next layer of food commerce infrastructure.
OUR VISION
Restaurants deserve the full value of their food
Wantfood is building a new model for online food ordering – one where restaurants keep the revenue, own the customer relationship, and aren’t trapped by commissions.
No commission
Simple, low, flat fees
No escrow delays
The restaurant owns the customer relationship


THE PROBLEM
The current model extracts value – it doesn’t create it
Food businesses are paying more to earn less > As much as 50% of your order value goes to the middleman
As digital ordering has grown, so has the cost of participation:
- Increasing commission and service fees
- Loss of direct customer relationships
- Reduced control over pricing, data, and brand
What began as convenience has become dependency.
£GBP Billions are diverted from food businesses every year. Not because of inefficiency, but because of how the system is designed.
This is not a delivery problem.
It’s an economic one.
How a £25 takeaway became £32
Traditional ordering apps: 30% commission + 12% customer service charge; stage 3 adds a 15% menu increase. Cup “full” ≈ £30. Illustrative; figures vary by restaurant and order.
