Online ordering for pizza shops in Tameside

Updated 13 November 2026. Source: the Food Standards Agency register, pulled on 13 November 2026. Coverage is the Tameside council area, which includes Stalybridge and Dukinfield; we do not name any business. Whole-area figures are on our Tameside page.

In short: Tameside has 25 FSA-registered premises with pizza or pizzeria in the name, most in OL6 and M34. A Tameside pizza 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.

The register lists 25 premises in Tameside with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the business name, 22 of them registered as takeaways and 3 as restaurants or cafés. The most are in OL6 (7), M34 (5), SK14 (4), SK15 (3). That is 4.1% of the area's 609 takeaway, restaurant and café premises, against 4.5% across the UK, so the word is about as common here as in the UK as a whole.

That makes Tameside a place where a direct ordering page earns its keep: the same few streets hold a lot of pizza-named premises, so being easy to find and easy to order from is the whole game.

What the FSA register shows for Tameside pizza names

This is a name-keyword count, not a census. It only finds premises whose registered name includes one of those words, so it misses pizza shops with other names, and it counts anything with the word in it, whatever it sells. We look at takeaway and sandwich shop premises and at restaurant, café and canteen premises only, and we do not name any business.

Of the 25 with a numeric rating, 13 (52%) are rated 5 and 1 (4%) are rated 0, 1 or 2. That is close to the 48.6% of all rated takeaways in Tameside that hold a 5. A rating is a snapshot of one inspection, and the FSA says so on every record.

Where they cluster

OL6 holds the most, 7 of the 25 (28%), and the premises sit across 8 postcode districts in all. A zone per district lets you charge a small fee for the close streets and a higher minimum for the outer ones, in Chefzi's delivery zones.

Tameside in the wider picture

Tameside has 298 takeaway and sandwich shop premises and 311 restaurant, café and canteen premises on the register. On takeaway premises it ranks 52 of 363 UK council areas, and 10 of 35 in North West. Across all rated takeaways in Tameside, 48.6% hold a 5 against 62.0% across England, and 4.9% are rated 0 to 2 against 5.8%. Tameside is part of Greater Manchester, whose page lists every council area there with its takeaway and restaurant counts. Places in the council area include Stalybridge and Dukinfield, so a delivery zone set by postcode district can follow the towns a kitchen really serves.

How common pizza names are in Tameside

Using the ONS estimate of 240,822 residents, that works out at 1.0 pizza-named premises per 10,000 people, compared with 1.3 across the UK, so Tameside sits below the national rate. On the register, only 122 council areas have more of these names than Tameside; within the North West it ranks 16th of 35.

OL6 is the district where the name is most common relative to local food premises (5%); SK14 is the lowest of these four at 4%. The area-wide share is 4.1%.

On freshness, 64% of the 25 dated records were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 52% across all 609 dated takeaway and restaurant premises in Tameside. The median time since inspection is 10 months for this list and 12 for the whole area.

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.

How a direct ordering page helps here

• Zones that match the map. The premises are concentrated in OL6 and M34, so a tight zone around the busiest district with a wider second zone for the rest of Tameside fits the spread.
• Size, base and toppings in one flow. Size and crust can be required choices and toppings a pick-several choice with a surcharge for each, so the ticket shows exactly what to make.
• Take cash as well as card. Cash on collection and cash on delivery are on every plan, 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.
• Plan for the Friday rush. When the oven is full, pause ordering or lengthen the prep time you give each customer when you accept the order, rather than letting orders pile up. Chefzi has no slot grid, so you control the pace from the app.

Late-night hot food in Tameside: what to check

If you sell hot food or drink after 11pm and before 5am, the Licensing Act 2003 treats it as late night refreshment, so you normally need the council's licence. Tameside's council publishes its process here: Tameside council licensing page (checked 13 November 2026). Check it before you open your ordering hours past 11pm.

For the wider England and Wales rules, read our late night refreshment licence guide. You can set collection and delivery hours independently in Chefzi, which lets your online hours follow your licence conditions. Not legal advice.

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. Set required choices for the way your customers order, and set your delivery zones by postcode district or radius.
3. Put the link on your Google Business Profile (how), and print a QR code for each bag (QR kit).
4. Once customers agree to hear from you, send them the link (SMS and email marketing, Plus and Pro).

A worked example for a Tameside pizza shop

These are assumed numbers, not Tameside data: with no published average order value for Tameside pizza shops, the example takes £25 (the commission calculator default) and 35 orders a week. Use your own.

Suppose 35 orders a week (about 152 a month, £25 each, £3,800 in sales) shift from Just Eat to your own Chefzi link. Just Eat's published rates (read 12 November 2026, details) are 14% with your own drivers and 30% when it delivers, plus VAT. At 14% those 152 orders cost £532 plus £106 VAT, £638 in all; at 30% they cost £1,140 plus £228 VAT, £1,368.

On Chefzi the same 152 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: you run your own drivers. Chefzi has no courier integrations.
• No kiosk and no CRM.
• Pre-order lead time is one setting per location, not per dish.
• Marketplace orders still pay the marketplace's commission. Chefzi helps you move regulars across; it does not change what Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats charge.
