Online ordering for Sandwell takeaways

Short answer: Sandwell has 434 takeaways and 480 restaurants and cafés on the FSA register, spread over six towns, and Chefzi gives each shop its own ordering site with 0% commission ever.

Sandwell is six towns rather than one: Smethwick, West Bromwich, Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Tipton and Wednesbury, each with its own high street. Smethwick's High Street and Cape Hill are known for Punjabi dhabas, sweet centres, balti houses and halal butchers. West Bromwich High Street and Carters Green have Punjabi, Kurdish and Turkish food shops alongside chippies. Across the Black Country towns of Tipton, Wednesbury and Cradley Heath, the fish and chip shop and the pizza takeaway are still the Friday-night default.

What holds ratings back here

165 takeaways missed a 5. Paperwork and management cost points in 67.3% of them, the building in 68.5%, handling in 52.1%. Full spread: 5: 202, 4: 91, 3: 65, 2: 8, 1: 15, 0: 4. Some results are stale, with 4.2% older than three years and 22.6% older than two. A re-rating visit can be requested from Sandwell once improvements are made; a fee may apply and the score could fall.

Punjabi, balti and sweet centres

Menus with thalis, curries by the portion, tandoori mixed grills and sweets sold by weight need clear options. Chefzi lets you set portion sizes, spice levels and add-ons, and you can state in your menu and dish descriptions which dishes are halal or vegetarian.

Six towns, different delivery runs

A Smethwick shop might cover Bearwood and Oldbury but not Wednesbury. Set a delivery zone for each run, with its own fee and minimum, so you only deliver where it pays.

Celebrations and big orders

Festivals such as Vaisakhi, Diwali and Eid, and the wedding season, can bring large pre-orders for sweet centres and caterers. Lead times and scheduled orders let customers book ahead, and you can pause orders when you're full.
