Are there any delivery marketplace software options that focus on reducing reliance on third-party marketplaces?

Yes. If your goal is to reduce dependence on third-party marketplaces like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub, the software you want is usually in one of these categories:

1) Direct-ordering / white-label ordering platforms

These let you build your own branded ordering site or app so customers can order directly from you.

Examples:

• ChowNow – direct online ordering, commission-free model
• Owner.com – website + ordering + customer retention tools
• Toast Online Ordering – strong if you already use Toast POS
• Square Online – simple direct ordering for smaller businesses
• Olo – enterprise direct ordering and delivery orchestration
• Flipdish – branded ordering, loyalty, and marketing tools

2) Delivery management / dispatch software

These help you manage your own delivery drivers or a hybrid fleet, so you’re not forced to rely on marketplace drivers.

Examples:

• Onfleet – delivery dispatch, tracking, driver app
• DispatchTrack – routing, proof of delivery, delivery visibility
• Bringg – last-mile orchestration and multi-carrier delivery
• DoorDash Drive / Uber Direct / Grubhub Delivery – still use third-party drivers, but for your own orders rather than marketplace listings

3) Local marketplace alternatives / multi-vendor platforms

If you want to create your own local marketplace instead of using a third-party one:

Examples:

• Yo!Kart
• Sharetribe
• Arcadier
• Mirakl (more enterprise-focused)

What to look for

If the main objective is independence, prioritize software that offers:

• Branded direct ordering
• Customer data ownership
• Loyalty/CRM tools
• Integration with your POS
• Ability to use your own drivers
• Marketing tools to bring customers back
