Online ordering for Newham restaurants and takeaways

Short answer: Newham has 409 takeaways and 652 restaurants and cafés on the FSA register, and Chefzi lets them take orders on their own site with no commission.

Newham has one of London's most varied food streets. Green Street in Upton Park, beside Queen's Market, is lined with South Asian sweet centres, chaat houses, Bangladeshi cafés and pure-vegetarian Gujarati kitchens. East Ham's High Street North adds South Indian and Sri Lankan canteens, and Forest Gate and Upton Lane have Caribbean and Romanian cafés. In the south, Stratford and the Olympic Park bring office and visitor lunch trade, and chicken and pizza shops serve late evenings from Plaistow to Canning Town.

What holds ratings back here

242 takeaways missed a 5. Paperwork and management cost points in 76.9% of them, the building in 75.2%, handling in 65.7%. Full spread: 5: 133, 4: 83, 3: 98, 2: 29, 1: 26, 0: 6. Some results are stale, with 0.5% older than three years and 2.4% older than two. If you've fixed what the officer raised, you can ask Newham council for a re-rating visit (it may charge, and the score can go down as well as up).

Vegetarian, Jain and halal menus done properly

Customers here often need to know exactly what's in a dish. Say which dishes are vegetarian, vegan or halal, add allergen notes, and use options for no onion or garlic where you offer it.

Lunch at Stratford, late nights in E13 and E6

Collection time slots suit office lunch orders around Stratford and Westfield. Late-night chicken and grill shops can set their own hours and pause orders when the kitchen is full.

Tight zones in a dense borough

Newham is compact, so a single zone may cover most of your customers. Set a low-minimum delivery zone around your street and a separate zone for the Royal Docks or Beckton if you go that far.
