Online ordering for kebab shops in Ealing

Updated 13 November 2026. Source: the Food Standards Agency register, pulled on 12 November 2026. Coverage is the London Borough of Ealing; we do not name any business. Whole-area figures are on our Ealing page.

In short: Ealing has 38 FSA-registered premises with kebab or doner in the name, most in W5 (9) and W3 (6). An Ealing kebab shop can take direct orders on its own Chefzi page: plans run from £9 to £49 a month per location (ex VAT), commission is 0% ever, and the first month is free with no card.

What the FSA register shows

This is a name-keyword count, not a census. It finds only premises whose registered name includes one of those words. It misses kebab shops with other names, and it may include places that use a word for something else. We left out retailers and mobile caterers.

Of the 34 with a numeric rating, 16 (47%) are rated 5 and 8 (24%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. 4 more are awaiting inspection or publication.

For comparison, among all 283 takeaways in Ealing with a numeric rating, 42% are rated 5. Among the 14 rated takeaways on this list, 50% are, which is above that figure. These are small samples, so treat the gap as a pointer and not a verdict on any business.

Where they are

The top four postcode districts hold 26 of the 38 (68%). W5 (Ealing), W3 (Acton) and the UB1 and UB5 districts (Southall and Northolt) are the busiest, so a delivery area in the borough often crosses into a neighbouring district.

Ealing kebab names in numbers

Per 10,000 residents the count is 1.03, against 0.51 for the UK as a whole, which is above the national rate. The population used is the ONS estimate of 387,072 for the council area. On the register, only 4 council areas have more of these names than Ealing; within London it ranks 1st of 33.

Across the area 3.0% of takeaway and restaurant premises carry one of these words. In UB5 that rises to 11%, while in W3 it is 3%.

These premises are inspected about as recently as the area as a whole: 45% inspected within a year (40 dated records) against 45% overall, with a median of 13 months since inspection against 13.

Population figures are ONS mid-2025 estimates; every other figure comes from the same FSA register pull as the tables above. Small samples move a lot from one inspection to the next, so read the shares as a guide to where the pattern is, not as a verdict on any business.

What this means for your online ordering

• Separate delivery and collection hours. You can stop delivery when the last driver finishes and keep collection open.
• Pause ordering when the kitchen is overwhelmed, and mark an item out of stock when the meat has run out.
• Take cash as well as card. Cash on collection and cash on delivery are both available, and card payments are on Plus and Pro.
• Tablet offline? The Chefzi Orders app rings until someone accepts or rejects. If the device is offline, Chefzi texts the restaurant and then calls.

More of the kebab-named premises here are registered as restaurants, cafés or canteens than as takeaways, so a shop with seating can also use QR table ordering.

Late-night hot food in Ealing

Under the Licensing Act 2003, a person provides late night refreshment if, at any time between 11.00 p.m. and 5.00 a.m., they supply hot food or hot drink to the public from any premises, whether for consumption on or off the premises. That applies to takeaway and delivery. In Ealing the licence comes from the local council. Check your own licence hours before you take collection or delivery orders late at night, and set your online hours inside them.

How to start

1. Put your menu into Chefzi on a short call with us. We set it up with you and aim to have you live in 24 to 48 hours.
2. Make the key choices required so every ticket is complete.
3. Add your ordering link to your Google Business Profile (how) and a QR code to every bag (QR kit).
4. Once customers agree to hear from you, send them the link (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro).

For the rest of the story, see the kebab shops page, the Ealing page, the commission calculator and moving customers from Just Eat to your own site. If your food is halal, say so in words you can stand behind: see halal menu wording.

A worked example for an Ealing kebab shop

These are assumed numbers, not Ealing data: with no published average order value for Ealing kebab shops, the example takes £25 (the commission calculator default) and 40 orders a week. Use your own.

Say 40 orders a week, about 173 a month, move from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link. At £25 each that is £4,325 of sales a month. Just Eat's published partner rates (read 12 November 2026, details) are 14% when you use your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT. On those 173 orders that is £606 plus £121 VAT, £727 in all, at 14%, or £1,298 plus £260 VAT, £1,557, at 30%.

On Chefzi the same 173 orders carry 0% commission. You pay the flat plan: Plus, which adds card payments, is £22 a month (£19 billed annually) per location, excluding VAT, and it does not change if the month is busier. Card processing charges depend on your payment provider and are not modelled on either side. Orders customers still place through Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats keep paying those apps' commission; the example only covers the ones you move.

What Chefzi does not do

Delivery stays yours: Chefzi has no courier integrations, so you use your own drivers. There is no kiosk and no CRM, and a pre-order lead time applies to the whole location rather than to a single dish. Orders that still arrive through Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats keep paying those apps' commission; Chefzi's job is to help you move regulars to your own page.
