The Foodhub alternative with every price published.
Foodhub, formerly Touch2Success, sells its EPOS, branded ordering apps and marketplace listing by quote: its own comparison page publishes a 3.4% + 20p online card fee and a £99 to £125 setup fee, but no rental, subscription or contract term. Aexir is a flat monthly fee at published prices, £30 to £50 a month ex VAT with your own app from £30, card payments at 2.5% + 30p, and your menu rebuilt for you. Foodhub figures from foodhubforbusiness.com, checked on 20 October 2026.
What Foodhub publishes, and what it does not.
Foodhub has no rate card. These are the three figures that matter, taken from its own UK pages on 20 October 2026, with the gaps stated plainly rather than guessed.
The published online card fee
Foodhub’s own comparison table at foodhubforbusiness.com/foodhub-competitor/ lists its online card transaction fee as 3.4% + 20p. Aexir publishes 2.5% + 30p. The two cross at an order of about £11.11: below that Foodhub’s published rate is a penny or so cheaper, above it Aexir’s is lower, by 8p on a £20 order and 17p on a £30 order.
The initial setup fee
The same comparison page lists an initial setup fee of £99 to £125 and shows Foodhub’s commission as "Low", not as a percentage. The marketplace landing page says you only pay a low commission per order. No figure for that commission appears on any Foodhub page we checked. Aexir’s setup, including the menu build, is handled by the Aexir team.
Rental, subscription and contract term
Foodhub’s EPOS, online ordering and PDQ pages carry no prices, only quote buttons and a "2 months free EPOS rental" promotion whose small print says add-ons are charged at standard rates and the offer can be withdrawn without notice. No minimum term is published; its savings calculator offers 12, 24 or 36 month contract periods. Aexir’s plans are £30, £30, £40 and £50 a month ex VAT, on aexir.com/pricing.

Switching from Foodhub to Aexir.
Four steps, and you only do the first one on your own.
Read your Foodhub contract and your last payment statement
Foodhub publishes no rental, minimum term or notice period, so your signed contract is the only place they exist. Find the weekly or monthly rental, the end date, the notice period and what happens to any supplied equipment. Then take one month of online orders and work out what 3.4% + 20p cost you, so you can compare like for like.
- ✓Ask Foodhub in writing for your menu, customer list and order history
- ✓Decide whether to keep the marketplace listing: per Foodhub’s partner page it is free for EPOS partners and on a rental subscription for marketplace-only partners, so ask what it costs without the EPOS
Send us your menu
Export or screenshot your Foodhub menu, or just send the link. The Aexir team rebuilds it, with sizes, extras and photos, as part of setup.
- ✓Prices, sizes and extras are checked back with you before anything goes live
- ✓Delivery areas, opening hours and collection times set up with you
Approve, then we publish
You see the ordering site and, on the app plans, the app build before customers do. Typical go-live is under 30 days, with app store review inside that.
- ✓Branded website at yourname.aexir.com
- ✓Apps under your own name on the App Store and Google Play
Run both, then close Foodhub
Keep Foodhub running while regulars move across. Repoint your QR codes, website button and social links, tell your customers, then cancel Foodhub on the terms of your own agreement.
- ✓Order direct print kit (window sticker, table tents, bag stickers) is free at aexir.com/order-direct-kit

The straight answers.
What takeaway owners ask us when they are comparing Foodhub, answered from Foodhub’s own pages and ours.
Is Foodhub free for restaurants?
Not in any sense you can bank on. Its marketplace page says there is no upfront investment and that you only pay a low commission per order, and its partner page says the marketplace listing is free for EPOS partners. But the EPOS is rented at an unpublished rate, marketplace-only partners pay a rental subscription, the comparison page lists a £99 to £125 setup fee, and every online card payment carries 3.4% + 20p. "Free" describes the listing for a takeaway that is already paying for the rest.
The published card rates on a real order
On Foodhub’s own stated average order of £23, its 3.4% + 20p comes to 98p; Aexir’s 2.5% + 30p comes to 87.5p. On a £20 order it is 88p against 80p, on £30 it is £1.22 against £1.05, and on a £10 order Foodhub’s rate is a penny cheaper. Over 500 orders at £20 that is £440 of card fees against £400. These are card fees only, before Foodhub’s unpublished rental on one side and Aexir’s £30 to £50 monthly plan on the other, and you can check every one of them with a calculator. Run your own numbers in the savings calculator.
When Foodhub is the better fit
If you want new customers from a marketplace, Foodhub has one and Aexir does not: Foodhub says 30,000+ takeaways and 60M+ orders in 2025, and its own reply on Trustpilot in March 2026 says its orders cost diners around £2.35 less than on Just Eat. If you want one supplier for EPOS terminals, PDQ card machines, kiosks, kitchen screens and delivery management, Foodhub sells the whole estate and Aexir sells software plus POS on the Go. Its in-store PDQ rates are advertised from as low as 0.4%, which no online rate can match, and its two-months-free EPOS promotion lowers year-one cost while it lasts. On its own figures it operates at a scale Aexir does not. Aexir is the better fit when you want your own app and website at a price you can read before you ring anyone.
What owners say on Trustpilot, with a caveat
Foodhub For Business UK scored 1.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 131 reviews on 20 October 2026, 91% of them one star. Most of those reviews are from diners about late deliveries and closed restaurants still listed, not from owners, so the score says little about the business product. The owner reviews that do exist raise rental charged whether busy or quiet (April 2026), online fees "nearly 4%" through Datman and a setup fee higher than quoted (September 2024), billing that continued after termination (October 2025), and marketplace menu prices adjusted without the restaurant being told (March 2026), which Foodhub’s reply confirms as a small adjustment to fund marketing and technology. These are individual, dated reviews, not verified facts about standard terms. The legacy Touch2Success profile holds 3.6 out of 5 from 869 reviews, with none in the last twelve months.
Foodhub alternative: your questions.
Foodhub does not publish a rate card. On 20 October 2026 its own comparison page at foodhubforbusiness.com/foodhub-competitor/ listed an online card transaction fee of 3.4% + 20p, an initial setup fee of £99 to £125 and its commission as "Low". EPOS rental, the online ordering subscription, PDQ terminal rental and the minimum term are not published anywhere on the site; every product page ends in a quote request. Aexir, for comparison, is £30 to £50 a month ex VAT at published prices, with card payments at 2.5% + 30p.
Only the marketplace listing, and only for some partners. Foodhub’s partner page says listing is free for EPOS partners, on a rental subscription for marketplace-only partners and on a commission basis for inventory partners and resellers. Its marketplace page says there is no upfront investment and that you pay a low commission per order. The EPOS rental, the £99 to £125 setup fee on its comparison page and the 3.4% + 20p online card fee all still apply, so a takeaway on Foodhub is paying, just not on a published tariff.
Its own pages say yes, at an unpublished rate. The comparison page shows Foodhub’s commission as "Low" against "High" for Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo, and the marketplace page says you only pay a low commission per order. In an October 2020 interview with Startups Magazine a Foodhub co-founder said the company charged 0% commission and always would; that is a six-year-old statement, not current published pricing, and the online ordering page today limits the claim to no commission on your own orders. Ask for the marketplace rate in writing.
Foodhub’s help centre has an article on Datman, its online payment partner, which is where owners usually find the fee. That article returned a server error every time we tried it on 20 October 2026, so the figure on this page comes from Foodhub’s own comparison page, which lists the online card transaction fee as 3.4% + 20p. On a £20 order that is 88p; Aexir’s published 2.5% + 30p is 80p on the same order.
Foodhub publishes no minimum term, notice period or cancellation process. Its savings calculator lets you choose a 12, 24 or 36 month contract period, and its two-months-free EPOS rental promotion says T&Cs apply. Your signed contract is the only source, so read it for the term, the notice period and the equipment return terms before you act, give notice in writing and keep a copy. Keep your new ordering channel live before the Foodhub one is switched off so no orders are lost.
Judge the business product on owner reviews, not the headline score. Foodhub For Business UK had a Trustpilot TrustScore of 1.6 out of 5 from 131 reviews on 20 October 2026, but most of those are diners reviewing the consumer app. The owner reviews are few and mostly critical: rental charged regardless of sales, card fees near 4%, billing after termination and marketplace prices adjusted without notice, the last of which Foodhub’s own reply confirms. The older Touch2Success profile is 3.6 out of 5 from 869 reviews, with named support staff praised, but has no reviews in the last twelve months. Read a sample yourself and ask Foodhub for every figure in writing.
No. Aexir has no marketplace and sends you no orders of its own; it builds and runs your own app, ordering website and POS on the Go so the customers you already have order direct. If marketplace demand is what you need, Foodhub has it and this page says so. The usual answer is to run both: a marketplace for discovery and your own channel for regulars, with loyalty, push notifications and the free order-direct print kit at aexir.com/order-direct-kit moving people across.
Aexir is a flat monthly fee at published prices: Web £30, Starter £30, Plus £40, Pro £50 a month ex VAT. Card payments are processed at a published 2.5% + 30p per transaction, the same on your app and your website. Additional locations are £1 a day each. There is no percentage of your menu prices and nothing to request a quote for; every price is on aexir.com/pricing and you can test it against your own order numbers at aexir.com/savings.
Every price, before the sales call.
From £30 a month ex VAT, app included, card payments at 2.5% + 30p. Book a callback and bring your Foodhub contract and last statement; we will put the same month on published prices.
