Brisbane restaurants
Brisbane's food scene is booming, but high rents and delivery app commissions are eating into margins. Keep more of every sale with your own branded ordering page, live in 10 minutes, no monthly fee, no contract.
Brisbane has transformed into one of Australia's most exciting dining cities. From the laneway restaurants of Fortitude Valley to the riverside venues along South Bank, the city's food culture has exploded in the last decade. But with that growth comes pressure. Commercial rents in high-traffic areas like James Street, Fish Lane, and Howard Smith Wharves have surged, and competition for customers has never been more intense.
At the same time, delivery platforms are taking 30 percent of every order they deliver. For an independent restaurant in West End or New Farm already paying steep rent and rising wages, that commission is not a marketing cost, it is a direct threat to survival. Brisbane restaurant owners need a way to take online orders without handing over a third of their revenue.
Windsor Digital is a direct ordering page that belongs to your Brisbane venue: your name on it, your customers' details in your hands, and 2% per transaction with nothing to pay upfront or monthly and no contract to sign. See how it stacks up in our guide to online ordering in Australia, or read the full breakdown in our restaurant ordering system guide.
Sign up, then photograph the menu you already use, whether that is a printed card or a chalkboard. The AI import picks up each dish, its description, price and category, so there is no typing it all in. You read it through, make corrections, and publish when you are happy with it.
Connect your bank account through Stripe, which takes around five minutes. Then set opening hours for each day, so a West End cafe that closes at three is not taking dinner orders. The page is live at yourrestaurant.windsordigital.com.au as soon as you publish, with nothing to install and nobody to wait on.
Download QR codes from the dashboard with your venue's name on them and put one on every table, including the ones outside. Customers order and pay from their seat, so staff are not running back and forth across a courtyard to take orders. New orders show up in real time with an audio alert.
Here is the same week of orders under two models: 30%, the rate Uber Eats publishes for orders it delivers, and Windsor Digital's 2%. The gap widens as your volume grows.
| Weekly revenue | UberEats (~30%) | Windsor Digital (2%) | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000/week | $1,500 | $100 | $1,400/week |
| $10,000/week | $3,000 | $200 | $2,800/week |
| $20,000/week | $6,000 | $400 | $5,600/week |
Windsor Digital 2% platform fee only. Standard Stripe processing fees (~1.76% + 30c) apply separately. See how we compare: vs UberEats, vs Bopple, vs me&u.
Whether you are running an alfresco restaurant in Paddington, a rooftop bar in Fortitude Valley, or a family-run venue in Bulimba, the people at your tables and on the footpath outside are already your customers, and there is no reason to pay a delivery app to take their order. Brisbane's outdoor dining culture makes QR code ordering a natural fit. Customers scan from their table, order from their phone, and your staff stay focused on service.
Suburb, size and cuisine make no difference. If people come to you for food and you would like them to order from you directly, with no marketplace taking a cut of the bill, that is the job this was built for.

Brisbane's restaurant market has changed dramatically. The city is growing, new dining precincts are opening every year, and customer expectations around digital ordering have permanently shifted. But the economics of third-party platforms have not changed, they still take 30 percent of every order they deliver, and they own the customer relationship.
For a Brisbane restaurant doing $8,000 a week in online orders through a delivery platform at 30% commission, that is $2,400 a week going to a middleman, over $124,000 a year. At 2% with Windsor Digital, the same volume costs $160 a week. That difference is the margin between surviving and thriving, between hiring another chef and cutting hours.
Direct ordering also means you keep your customer data. You know who your regulars are, what they order, and when they come back. That is the foundation of a real hospitality business, not a listing on someone else's marketplace. We have laid out the published rates and the extra charges in how much Uber Eats charges restaurants.
