Updated 12 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
Updated 12 Nov 2026. Every OOFTA fact below comes from OOFTA's own pages at oofta.co.uk, read on 12 November 2026. Chefzi competes with OOFTA and is not affiliated with it.
In short: OOFTA builds an ordering website for fast-food takeaways for a one-off £300 set-up and a £360 annual contract (£30 a month by standing order), with no commission. It needs a low-spec computer and a thermal ticket printer that you supply, and software on your till computer. Chefzi is £12 a month (£9 billed annually), per location, excluding VAT, with 0% commission, no setup fee and orders arriving in an app on a phone or tablet you already own. VAT is not stated on OOFTA's pages.
What OOFTA says it does
From its own pages, read 12 November 2026:
- Price: "One-off website set-up: £300", with a 50% deposit before work starts, and an "Annual contract: £360 (£30 monthly by standing order)" covering troubleshooting, support and routine website changes. Major menu changes may cost extra.
- Commission: none. A single fixed set-up fee plus a fixed annual hosting and support fee.
- What you supply: a menu (as a PDF if possible), a low-spec computer and a thermal ticket printer. OOFTA uploads software to your computer.
- Delivery and ordering: up to five delivery zones by distance, postcode or spend; customers within a set distance of your takeaway; product options including sizes, extras and meal deals; day and time specific items.
- Marketing tools: discount vouchers, coupon redemption and spend offers.
- Payments: online card payments through Nochex, an official partner; manual card payments by phone; cash or card on delivery or collection. Nochex rates are not stated on OOFTA's pages.
- No app store: a mobile "Web App" that customers can add to their home screen, with no app to download from the stores.

Where OOFTA is stronger
- A fixed, simple price. One set-up fee and one annual fee, with no percentage on orders.
- Voucher tools. Percentage or fixed discounts with minimum spend, date ranges, new-customer limits and spend offers.
- Fits a till computer. If you already run a till PC and a thermal ticket printer, OOFTA installs onto it.
Where Chefzi is stronger
- No setup fee and a lower first year. Chefzi's Starter is £144 a year billed monthly, or £108 billed annually, against OOFTA's £660 in year one.
- No computer to install on. Orders arrive in an app on a phone or tablet you already own.
- A free month with no credit card, and month-to-month terms.
- Choice of card provider and an offline alert.
Cost over a year
Our arithmetic from the published prices, excluding VAT and card fees:
| Plan | First year |
|---|---|
| OOFTA | £300 set-up + £360 = £660 |
| Chefzi Starter billed monthly | £12 × 12 = £144 |
| Chefzi Starter billed annually | £9 × 12 = £108 |
| Chefzi Plus billed annually (card payments) | £19 × 12 = £228 |
The plans are not like for like. OOFTA's price includes a built website and support, and Chefzi's card payments start on Plus.
Which should you pick?
Choose OOFTA if you want a fixed-price built website installed onto your till computer, with vouchers and a Nochex card option. Choose Chefzi if you want the lowest first-year cost, no computer to install on and a choice of card provider.
