More detail
Kottu, hoppers and a menu that keeps time
Sri Lankan and Tamil menus have a rhythm of their own. Kottu comes in chicken, mutton, egg, vegetable and cheese versions. Egg hoppers, plain hoppers and string hoppers are made to order and often only served at certain times or at weekends. Rice and curry means the customer choosing their curries, and lamprais and short eats are what people order for a party.
Chefzi handles all of this without a complicated menu. Each kottu can be one dish with a choice of filling and spice level. Hoppers can be marked out of stock when you are not making them, and the preparation time you set when you accept an order tells the customer the wait. Rice and curry becomes a builder: pick a rice, then choose two or three curries and a sambol.
Party trays of short eats, lamprais and rolls can be taken with notice, so the kitchen has time to prepare. Communities in Tooting, East Ham, Wembley and Harrow, and further afield, can all order from your own site, with delivery zones and fees you set.
Every order through your own site or your own branded Android app (on Pro) is at 0% commission. Plus adds card payments and SMS and email offers, and we get you live in 24–48 hours, max.

Kottu, hoppers and rice and curry
Sri Lankan menus mix dishes that need very different options. Kottu takes a protein and a spice level; hoppers sell by count with an optional egg; rice and curry is a choice of curries with a rice portion. Set each as its own category with the modifier groups that fit it.
Short eats and party orders
Cutlets, rolls and other short eats sell in quantities. List boxes by count and take pre-orders for events. The lead time is set for each location.
Spice level and allergens
Spice level is a required choice for many dishes, so make it a modifier group. Egg, fish, milk and gluten show up in many recipes. You write the information per dish; Chefzi shows it and does not check it. See the allergen guide.
