More detail
Southall sweets, Ealing cafés and your own orders
Southall is one of London's long-established centres of Punjabi and wider South Asian food, with sweet centres, dhabas, chaat counters and family restaurants. Ealing, Hanwell and Acton add cafés and a wide mix of cuisines. For many of us the busiest days are festivals and family events, not just Friday nights.
Before Diwali, Vaisakhi and Eid you can open sweet-box pre-orders by weight or by box, with a collection date the customer picks. Wedding and party catering can be taken days ahead, with a pre-order lead time, set for the location, so the kitchen gets notice. Vegetarian and Jain menus are clear at a glance, because every dish can carry its own label.
A lot of trade here is collection, so collection gets its own hours and preparation time, and delivery zones can be set by postcode for UB1, UB2, W5, W7 and W13. Customers who have ordered from your family for years can keep doing so from your own link or QR code, instead of through an app that takes a cut of every box of sweets.
Start on Starter for the ordering website, move to Plus for card payments and SMS and email offers before festivals, or Pro for your own branded Android app and EPOS.
Chefzi has three plans, per location, ex VAT, billed annually: Starter £9 a month (£12 monthly) for your ordering website and menu, Plus £19 (£22) adding card payments and SMS and email marketing, and Pro £39 (£49) adding your own branded Android app and EPOS. 0% commission ever, the first month is on us, no credit card required, and we get you live in 24–48 hours, max.
Ealing takeaways in the Food Standards Agency register
On 10 November 2026 the FSA register listed 319 takeaway and sandwich-shop businesses and 977 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Ealing, out of 3,870 registered food businesses. The postcode district with the most takeaways was W3, with 86 (27% of the total), followed by UB1 with 45.
Of the 279 takeaways with a published hygiene rating, 40.9% were rated 5, compared with 61.9% of takeaways across England. A rating of 5 is the top score in the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. See food hygiene ratings for takeaways.
That is a lot of kitchens competing for the same customers on the same marketplace apps. A direct ordering page of your own, with 0% commission, is how an independent keeps the repeat customers it already has. See commission-free online ordering and the commission calculator.
