Building on Munchd’s core mission of supporting local businesses, the app offers a seamless and convenient ordering experience for customers while maintaining its groundbreaking 1% commission model for restaurants.Typically the larger competitors charge 10% – 30% commission. Munchd’s unique approach allows takeaways and restaurants maximise their profits, reinvest in their businesses, and offer more competitive prices to consumers.

The Munchd app brings a wealth of features to users, including effortless browsing of a diverse selection of local restaurants and takeaways all in one convenient location.

One of the demo takeaways on the Munchd platform managed to save over €100,000 on fees in 2024, which highlights the cost savings that takeaways and restaurants can achieve by switching to Munchd. 

“The launch of the Munchd app is a game-changer for the food industry,” said David Kieran, Managing Director of Munchd. “For over a year, we’ve been dedicated to developing a platform that truly benefits both restaurants and customers. This app represents the culmination of that hard work, offering a superior ordering experience while staying true to our commitment of 1% commission for restaurants. We believe this will level the playing field, help the already struggling hospitality sector and allow food businesses to thrive and give consumers more choice and better value.”

munchd’s 0% commission model to offer a major boost to local takeaways and restaurants

munchd, a new online food ordering platform built specifically to empower local restaurants and takeaways is set to shake up the food industry with its game-changing 0% commission model. Unlike competitors charging hefty commissions and transaction fees, munchd also boasts a minimal 1.4% transaction rate on orders, allowing restaurants and takeaways to increase their profits and thrive in an increasingly difficult economic landscape for the hospitality industry.

Developed by Dundalk based marketing agency, ZOMA, munchd operates with a transparent approach, in contrast to many traditional online ordering systems that often hit restaurants with crippling, and sometimes hidden, transaction fees. This model allows businesses to maximise their profits, and ultimately offer more competitive prices to their customers. munchd’s commitment to local businesses extends beyond its 0% commission model, as the platform allows the user to control all customer data, build brand loyalty, and promote their business all from one central hub.

Explaining the rationale behind developing munchd, David Kieran, ZOMA Managing Director said: “In the current economic climate, businesses across the hospitality industry are struggling to keep up with rising costs. With the array of ordering apps in the restaurant and takeaway sector, businesses offering delivery services have faced exorbitant commissions and escalating expenses. munchd aims to empower these businesses by reclaiming their earnings, fostering local economic growth, and ultimately lowering the prices consumers pay for delivered items.”

For food lovers, munchd offers a user-friendly experience when ordering food. The platform already hosts a diverse selection of local restaurants and takeaways; and online, users can browse menus, place secure orders, and then track their deliveries in real-time. Diners can either order at munchd.io or by visiting the business’ own website.

David Kieran continued “munchd is simple and easy to use, it gives takeaways and restaurants more control over their own profile; and has ultimately allow us to expand the offerings and value we bring to the end consumer.”

munchd’s first client, Vincent Del Duca, owner of Tony’s Pizzeria said: “munchd has had a massive effect on our profitability and business – it has been a game changer. Thanks to the 0% commission rate and munchd’s commitment to giving takeaways and restaurants back the money they are paying in huge commissions, the savings you make on that side of it alone can equate to a week’s wages for some employees.”
