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

Best-fit picks by use case

  • Restaurant chain or growing brand: Olo, Toast, Owner.com
  • Small restaurant: ChowNow, Square Online, Flipdish
  • Own fleet delivery: Onfleet, Bringg, DispatchTrack
  • Create your own marketplace: Sharetribe, Yo!Kart
