More detail
Direct orders for Ilford and Redbridge kitchens
Ilford and the wider Redbridge area are known for South Asian, Afghan and Turkish grills, sweet shops and late-night takeaways. Trade here follows the calendar as much as the clock, and an ordering system has to keep up with that.
Around Ramadan and Eid you can add a seasonal menu with iftar timings, family platters and sweet-box pre-orders, then switch it off when the month ends. Delivery zones can cover Ilford, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Gants Hill, Barkingside and Woodford, each with its own fee and minimum order. For weddings and family events, set a pre-order lead time for the location, so large party orders arrive with enough notice.
Plenty of local customers prefer to collect, so collection can have its own hours and its own preparation time. If English is not your first language, keep the menu simple: clear dish names, a photo where it helps and plain options such as spice level or extra naan. We set the menu up with you and get you live in 24–48 hours, max.
Repeat families are where marketplace commission hurts most. On your own site they order from you directly, and every pound of the order stays in your till. Plus adds SMS and email offers; Pro adds 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.

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.
