Questions
Can a Cowley Road restaurant take table bookings and delivery orders on one site?
Yes. Table reservations, delivery and collection sit in the same Chefzi account, so a booking and a takeaway ticket both reach the same app. You do not need a separate booking system for the sit-down half of the business.
How does QR table ordering work for guests who are already seated?
Each table gets its own code. A guest scans it, orders from their phone, and the ticket goes to the kitchen without anyone taking the order at the table. It runs alongside reservations, and you can use one or both.
How do we keep Summertown regulars ordering from us rather than from an app?
Put your own link and QR code where people already look: the bag, the counter, the Google listing. Orders placed on your own site carry 0% commission ever.

Why it matters in Oxford
With so many sit-down places, Oxford is a strong fit for table reservations and QR ordering alongside collection and delivery, all on one site you own.
Where Oxford takeaways are
By postcode district, the FSA register puts Oxford takeaways in OX4 (41), OX1 (21), OX3 (15), OX2 (10). Set delivery zones by the districts you actually drive, and charge more where the run is longer.
How Chefzi helps Oxford food businesses
Oxford does not have one takeaway street so much as four different ones. Cowley Road is the best known of them, a run of independent kitchens from the Plain out through East Oxford past Magdalen Road. Headington's London Road serves the hospitals and the Brookes side of the city, Summertown's parade on Banbury Road takes the north, and Iffley Road picks up the streets in between. Each strip has its own regulars and its own sensible delivery radius.
- Your own site, on your own name. A mobile-friendly ordering page on your own domain.
- Orders in the Chefzi app. The kitchen sees each order on a phone or tablet it already has, accepts it with a prep time, and gets on with service.
- Delivery zones that follow the strip. Oxford's two rivers and the ring road make some runs much longer than others, so fees, minimum orders and zones are yours to set. Collection stays open for the customers who would rather come to you.
- Reservations and QR ordering. With so many sit-down rooms on Cowley Road and in the centre, table bookings taken on your own site and QR codes for guests already seated come as part of the same account.
