Online ordering for Oldham takeaways and restaurants

Chefzi is an online ordering system for Oldham restaurants and local takeaways, with 0% commission ever. The ordering page is part of your own site; see restaurant website design. The product itself is the online ordering system for UK restaurants. There are set-ups for each kind of shop, such as ordering for kebab shops and chicken shop ordering system.

Oldham's food trade runs from the terraces of Glodwick and Werneth, known for South Asian restaurants and sweet shops, to Yorkshire Street and the town centre around Spindles. Royton, Chadderton, Shaw and Failsworth each have their own takeaways, and up in Saddleworth the village cafés and pubs of Uppermill and Delph serve walkers and weekend visitors. It is a borough of hills and long roads, which makes delivery harder than it looks on a map, and marketplace commission harder still to swallow.

Hills, villages and delivery zones

A curry house in Glodwick can reach Werneth and the town centre in minutes. Royton and Chadderton are further. Saddleworth is a different trip altogether, up and over the hill. With Chefzi you draw delivery zones on a map, by radius or by postcode, and give each one its own fee, minimum order and delivery time. Charge more for Uppermill or Delph, or leave them out and offer collection. Customers find out at checkout whether you deliver to them.

What Chefzi costs

Every plan has 0% commission ever. It is £39 a month per location billed annually (£49 if billed monthly), with everything included, and the first month is free. That includes your own domain. It also includes your own branded iOS and Android customer apps. Prices are per location, excluding VAT, month to month. See pricing, and read how commission-free online ordering works.

Halal and spice, clearly labelled

Glodwick and Werneth customers know what they want, and they want to check before they order. Write your halal statement in your own words at the top of the menu and in dish descriptions, so it reads the way you would say it at the counter. Chefzi does not certify food. Make spice level a required choice on curries and grills, and list allergens beside each dish. There are set-ups for halal restaurants and Pakistani takeaways.

Saddleworth cafés: pre-orders for the weekend

Village cafés in Uppermill and Delph get busy when walkers and visitors arrive at the weekend. Collection time slots let people order ahead and pick up at a set time, and a pre-order lead time, set for the location, gives the kitchen enough notice. Inside, QR table ordering lets customers order from the table. The café and bakery set-up shows how to lay out breakfasts, cakes and drinks.

Takeaways in Royton, Chadderton, Shaw and Failsworth

Chippies, pizza shops and grills in the outer towns trade on regulars. Orders arrive in the Chefzi app on a phone or tablet you already own, ringing until someone accepts. No extra hardware is needed. Pause ordering with one tap on a busy Friday, mark items out of stock when they run out, and switch back on when you are ready.

Leaving GloriaFood

GloriaFood is closing. If your Oldham shop uses it, Chefzi can move your menu across, with categories, sizes and extras, so customers keep ordering. See the Chefzi vs GloriaFood comparison.

Getting customers to come back direct

Customers often find you first on an app. Put your own website on bag cards, flyers and your shop window. Your site lists your menu as text with hours and location, so Google can read it. See how online ordering looks to customers.
