Munchd, described as a disruptive online food ordering platform, has announced the launch of its highly anticipated mobile app for both iOS and Android devices. 

The platform says it is committed to empowering local takeaways and restaurants to save money, launched in February 2024

This custom-built app, developed over the past year alongside the expert digital team in award-winning, Dundalk based marketing agency ZOMA, marks a significant milestone for Munchd, and aims to provide a compelling alternative to established giants like Just Eat and Uber Eats.

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.

Users can enjoy streamlined ordering, placing orders quickly and easily with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

The app also provides access to exclusive deals, a loyalty program, and promotions available only through the app.

Since its launch in early 2024, Munchd’s prototype app has achieved an impressive turnover of nearly €2m, highlighting its rapid growth and strong market demand.

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."

The Munchd app is now available for download on iOS and Android devices. Customers can download the app from the App Store and Google Play Store by searching for "Munchd", or visiting www.munchd.io.
