Need a multi-restaurant delivery platform? That's a dedicated page.
Why build a custom restaurant app in 2026?
The global restaurant online ordering app market reaches $210 billion in 2026, with 12% annual growth according to Grand View Research. In the UK, 72% of consumers ordered from a restaurant online at least once a month in 2025 — and 44% prefer to order through the venue's own app rather than third-party platforms like Uber Eats (NPD Group 2025).
Building a custom restaurant app in React Native allows you to recover the 20 to 30% commission that aggregator platforms take on every order, build direct customer loyalty and own your brand experience — without depending on a third party. Note : If you need a platform with courier management, dispatch and tracking, see our dedicated page on delivery app development.
FlexiApps has built restaurant iOS & Android mobile apps since 2014 for clients in the UK (London, Manchester, Birmingham), Morocco (Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech), Qatar (Doha) and UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi). Our references portfolio includes Paul, a click & collect and online ordering app for the Paul bakery chain in Morocco, live on the App Store and Google Play.

Custom restaurant app vs third-party platforms
Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat take up to 30% commission on every order and keep your customer data. A custom app gives you full control. Ask our team for advice.
Uber Eats / Deliveroo / Just Eat
Useful for generating traffic at launch. Unsustainable once your volume justifies owning the customer relationship.
Custom restaurant app
Pays for itself once your monthly volume exceeds a few thousand dollars in orders — the 0% commission offset covers the investment within months. See our portfolio of references.
Do you need an app with courier management, dispatch and real-time tracking? That is not the same as a restaurant app. Check out our dedicated delivery app development page — a distinct technology and architecture.
