It says it has been running since 2012 and has 1,300+ UK businesses.

Where eTakeawayMax is stronger
- Hardware and EPOS in one weekly package. Platinum lists a till, caller ID, kitchen display, label printing, driver tracking and a waiter app. Chefzi's browser till is on Pro and is in beta, and Chefzi does not sell kitchen display hardware or kiosks.
- Marketplace orders in one place. Platinum says it manages Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo orders alongside your own. Chefzi does not connect to those platforms.
- iPhone app now. Gold lists Android and iPhone apps, while Chefzi's branded customer app is Android only on Pro.
- A long money-back window. eTakeawayMax offers 90 days, with the hardware returned.
Where Chefzi is stronger
- Lower monthly cost for the same job. Ordering with card payments and SMS and email marketing is Plus at £22 a month, or £19 billed annually, against £14.50 a week.
- No extra fees for the basics. No setup fee, no app store accounts to buy for the ordering website and no hardware to buy: the Chefzi Orders app runs on a phone or tablet you already own.
- No contract. Plans are month to month and you can cancel any time.
- An alert that does not depend on the device being online. The Orders app rings until you accept or reject, and if the device is offline Chefzi texts you and automatically calls your mobile or phone line.
Which should you pick?
Choose eTakeawayMax if you want one weekly package that replaces your till and kitchen printer, with an iPhone app and marketplace orders on one screen, and you are comfortable with its 12-month term. Choose Chefzi if you mainly want direct collection and delivery orders on your own website at a lower monthly cost, on a rolling month-to-month plan. Also see our pages for MyFoodFast and ServeMate, the other UK takeaway systems with published prices.
